For years, IT research organizations have reported that most large enterprises consider establishing or improving their cyber threat intelligence (CTI) capabilities a high or critical priority. Yet, many enterprises never move beyond a continual game of cyber threat whack-a-mole.

Plus, unlike other capability maturity models, the framework described in this blog series defines a set of effectiveness metrics that help you align your CTI team's actions with the needs of operational, tactical, and strategic stakeholders.
