Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI): simple definition, concrete examples.

In this article

Visit cyber threat intelligence (CTI) is the ability to collect, process and analyze information on threats to decide faster and better. In concrete terms: detect ID leaks, anticipate phishing/ransomware campaigns, prioritize patches and trigger the right actions (SIEM/EDR, takedown, MFA). At Phishiawe transform these signals into measurable results for SMEs, ETIs and local authorities.

Cyber Threat Intelligence: why adopt it now?

Threats evolve quickly, and IoCs change frequently. Without CTI, we reacts after the fact. With the cyber threat intelligencewe anticipates we know which is interested in us, how it operates (TTP), when campaign intensifies, and where take priority action (compromised identifiers, resold access, exploited vulnerabilities).

Strategic, tactical and operational CTI: definitions and uses

  • Strategic macro vision for decision-makers (trends, players, sectoral risks) to guide investments.

  • Operational/Tactical understanding TTP and preparation of defenses (SIEM, detections, playbooks).

  • Technical : indicators concrete (IP, domains, hashes, signatures) for configure radars and block quickly.

Real-life examples (phishing, ransomware, fraud) how CTI changes everyday life

  • ID leaks : targeted resets, MFA reinforcement, abnormal use alerts.

  • Resale VPN access (dark web): immediate blocking, secret rotation, lateral hunting.

  • Branded phishing kits takedown, DNS/MTA/proxy filtering, awareness-raising among target teams.

  • Exploited vulnerabilities patch prioritized according to actual use (not just score).

Flare + Phishia: from signal to measurable action

We use Flare to detect leaks, resale access and criminal signals. Phishia does the rest:

  1. Qualification (filtering, validity, business impact),

  2. Context (actors, TTP, campaigns),

  3. Decision & execution (IoC → SIEM/EDRSigma, YARA, takedown, MFA),

  4. Measurement & improvement (MTTD/MTTR, % alerts activated, lower re-exposures).

Added value: SMEs, ETIs and local authorities

  • Visibility understanding the threats specific to your context.

  • Early warning : to receive filtered signals without SOC 24/7.

  • Budget prioritization target actions with greater impact (patches, EDRs, backups).

  • Compliance & Insurance demonstrating a organized monitoring (useful for NIS2/insurers).

  • Safety culture examples concrete that get things moving (MFA, processes).

FAQ

Is cyber threat intelligence just for big business?
No. We offer tailored offers to SMEs, ETIs and local authorities (CTI-as-a-Service).

What's the difference between CTI and SOC?
Visit CTI brings the information (who/what/how/why), the SOC operates the detection and theinvestigation. Together, they reduce noise and speed up response.

Can you start small?
Yes. Start frugally (free feeds + targeted alerts), then ramp up (Flare, SIEM/EDR integrations, playbooks).

Our PhishiaCTI offer

Visit cyber threat intelligence (CTI) is used to see attacks coming and react faster. The idea is not to add complicated tools, but to receive the right information at the right time and know what to do now.

What Phishia does for you

  • We watch over you what concerns you (login leaks, access for sale, brand scams).

  • We sort and explain what's important, without drowning you in alerts.

  • We tell you what to do right away (e.g. changing targeted passwords, blocking a fraudulent site, notifying a service).

  • We help you implement these actions in your current tools (e-mail, access, filtering), without any major technical project.

  • We prove efficiency with some simple figures: time to act, number of incidents avoided/repeated, noise reduction.

What you actually get

  • Useful alerts and explained on one page (what, why, what to do).

  • Short, practical guidance if necessary (we'll do it with you).

  • Easy-to-read monthly report for management (what has been avoided, what remains to be done).
