Technical Threat Intelligence

Specific, machine-readable indicators such as malicious IPs, domains, URLs and file hashes.

Definition

Technical intelligence is short-lived and consumed directly by security tools for blocking and detection. It is commonly delivered through threat feeds in STIX format via TAXII. Its value decays quickly as adversaries change infrastructure.

Example

A feed of C2 IP addresses imported into the firewall blocklist.

Exam tip

Technical intelligence has the shortest shelf life.
