Intelligence is the enrichment of data or information, its classification and publication by experts within a field. The resultant output is ordinarily a qualitative assessment backed by quantitative metrics, or absolutes which formed part of the data or information it was derived from.
In terms of Cyber Threat Intelligence, this goes beyond the extraction of IOCs, strings, and the generation of cryptographic hashes, and fuzzy hashing – this is the correlation of events, actors, methods, and motives to generate Threat Intelligence which aims to describe the objectives, motives, capability and perhaps the identity of a threat actor.
