Threat Intelligence

Also written as Threat Intel, Indicators of Compromise, IOC

Information about who is attacking, the tools they use and the specific traces they leave, used to decide what to look for and what to defend first.

Think of it like

A neighbourhood bulletin describing which method the burglars in this area are actually using this month.

Junior or senior?

Separates people who subscribe to feeds from people who use them.

Senior sounds like

Can name a defensive decision the intelligence actually changed.

Ask them

“What did threat intelligence change about how you defended something?”
