Intelligence

What is Strategic intelligence?

High-level intelligence on threats, trends and risks for leaders, as opposed to operational (campaign) or tactical (indicator) intelligence.

CTI is often divided into three levels. Strategic intelligence is for leadership: trends, risks and actor intent, written in business terms to support decisions on budget, priorities and policy. Operational intelligence is about specific campaigns and actors: who is targeting us, how and when. Tactical intelligence is the technical detail, such as indicators and detection rules, used by the SOC.

The same event can feed all three levels, but each audience needs a different product.
