Process and analysis
What is Dissemination?
Getting a finished product to the person who needs it, in the format and on the channel they already use, before their decision closes.
Dissemination is the stage of the intelligence cycle where a finished product reaches the people who need it. It covers the format, the channel, the timing and the handling rules.
Intelligence that arrives after the decision has been made, or in a format the reader does not use, has no effect. Good dissemination matches the consumer: a ticket with indicators for the SOC, a one-page brief for leadership, a STIX bundle for a partner platform.
