Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) is the art of gathering, analyzing, and understanding information about cyber security threats. It involves collecting data, transforming it into actionable intelligence, and distributing it to key stakeholders to improve your organization’s security posture.
To do this effectively, you need a platform to store and analyze the intelligence you collect. You could choose anything from a simple Excel spreadsheet to a custom-made SQL database with a web GUI. However, the defacto solution in the world of CTI is MISP, an open-source threat intelligence platform designed for ingesting, analyzing, and sharing intelligence.
This article describes MISP, its key features and capabilities, and how it is used by threat intelligence analysts, security researchers, and incident responders.
