Episode 48: How Threat Intelligence Powers Security Functions
Threat intelligence is more than just information—it’s fuel for proactive defense. In this episode, we show how threat intel informs and enhances nearly every security function: from incident response and vulnerability management to engineering, detection, and monitoring. You’ll see how teams use intelligence to prioritize vulnerabilities, block malicious IPs and domains, improve alerting logic, and adapt defense-in-depth strategies in real time.
We also explain how analysts document and share threat intelligence internally, contribute to threat feeds, and use intelligence to develop custom detection rules and playbooks. Whether you're responding to live alerts or conducting post-incident reviews, this episode shows how to transform raw threat data into relevant action. For CySA+ and for real-world operations, this is where strategic defense and tactical execution come together. Brought to you by BareMetalCyber.com
