TechSpective’s Threat Intelligence section examines how organizations collect, interpret, and act on information about the adversaries and techniques targeting them — and why the gap between having intelligence and using it effectively remains one of enterprise security’s most persistent problems.
A central argument running through the coverage is that more intelligence isn’t the same as better defense. Articles challenge the assumption that subscribing to additional threat feeds translates into fewer breaches, and explore why actionable, contextual intelligence that can be operationalized quickly matters more than volume. Coverage of the CrowdStrike 2026 Global Threat Report unpacks the shift toward malware-free intrusion techniques, while analysis of CISO survey data documents how SaaS and AI environments became the dominant breach vectors.
The section also tracks how AI and machine learning are transforming threat intelligence workflows — from using large language models to automate threat analysis and triage, to machine learning-based detection of sensitive data exposure. Threat hunting as a discipline gets dedicated coverage through practitioner conversations and platform analysis. Vendor coverage includes CrowdStrike, Flashpoint, Interpres Security, Malanta, and Adobe’s internal security research.
Contributors include Tony Bradley, a CISSP-ISSAP credentialed journalist and Air Force veteran, alongside security practitioners and researchers. The audience is threat intelligence analysts, SOC teams, and security leaders who need to turn raw intelligence into prevention — not just awareness.
Organizations and IT security professionals spend a lot of time focusing on guarding against external threats–building up the defensive wall that keeps internal systems and data safe from outside attackers. Those efforts are all well and good, but miss the […]

The challenges in protecting hospitals from cyber attacks are very similar to those faced in ICS and SCADA environments; the equipment used in hospitals is not user-serviceable and therefore often running out-of-date software or firmware. This creates a dangerous situation

I’ve been saying for years that the traditional methods of defending against malware are flawed and unsustainable. It’s a reactive security model in the first place–the bad guys always get the first move. With millions of new malware exploits and
You can’t defend against every possible scenario, and you can’t defend yourself effectively if you don’t understand who the enemy is or what tools and tactics the enemy is likely to employ. Threat intelligence is critical for effective security because
