Applied Threat Intelligence: Its Emerging Central Role in Cybersecurity and Zero-Trust Architecture

Executive Summary

This report examines the principles and solutions behind applied threat intelligence (ATI), an important category of cybersecurity solutions that is gaining traction with the rise of zero-trust architectures.

The report explores the concepts, implementation, and performance data of the more holistic and effective approach that ATI represents, compared with legacy methods such as firewalls, intrusion detection, and intrusion prevention. It also explains how ATI accomplishes this with a more comprehensive and easier-to-manage approach to cybersecurity that organizations can adopt as a way to advance toward full zero trust over time.
