This white paper outlines four critical elements of cyber security intelligence that organizations must meet to ensure that the integration of the intelligence will help improve the safety and profitability of enterprises. These elements are:

• How business context can drive the focus for mitigating threats
• The lifecycle of threats
• The impact that accuracy has on intelligence reporting
• The need for an effective threat-response strategy when attacks do penetrate your defenses

Additionally, this paper includes four case studies showcasing the risks of unfiltered and unsubstantiated intelligence and specific questions to ask when determining the best approach for an overall risk-mitigation strategy.
