Introduction:
In today’s digital age, cybersecurity has become a critical concern for individuals, organizations, and governments around the world. With the increasing frequency and sophistication of cyber attacks, it has become imperative for stakeholders to proactively identify, assess, and mitigate cybersecurity threats. Cybersecurity Threat Intelligence (CTI) plays a crucial role in helping organizations stay ahead of potential threats by providing timely and actionable information about emerging cyber threats and vulnerabilities. By leveraging CTI, organizations can enhance their ability to detect, prevent, and respond to cyber attacks.
This thesis focuses on the importance of CTI in cybersecurity risk management and mitigation strategies. It explores how organizations can effectively leverage CTI to enhance their cybersecurity posture and protect their sensitive data and assets from cyber threats. The research also examines the challenges and limitations of CTI implementation, as well as the potential benefits and significance of integrating CTI into cybersecurity practices.
