What Does a Threat Intelligence Analyst Do?
Threat Intelligence Analysts collect, analyse and interpret information about existing and emerging cyber threats to help organisations understand the risks facing their systems, people and data.
The role can involve monitoring threat actors, analysing indicators of compromise, investigating campaigns and vulnerabilities and translating intelligence into practical actions for security teams and business stakeholders.
Threat Intelligence Analysts often work alongside SOC Analysts, Security Operations Engineers, Security Engineers and incident response teams, providing intelligence that strengthens detection, prevention and response capabilities.
