Episode 22 — Threat Feeds and Intelligence Sources (2.1)
This episode covers threat feeds and intelligence sources as tools that help security teams understand which threats matter most. Students should recognize sources such as advisories, vendor reports, information-sharing groups, open-source intelligence, commercial feeds, internal telemetry, and security research. For the exam, the key idea is that intelligence supports prioritization by adding context about active exploitation, affected products, attacker behavior, indicators of compromise, and recommended mitigation steps. In real operations, threat intelligence helps teams avoid chasing every alert equally and instead focus on threats relevant to their assets, industry, exposure, and current defensive posture.
