I Already Pay for Vendor X – Should I Bother with CTI?

Abstract

Now I assume if you're reading this book, you have at least a passing interest in understanding the benefits of CTI, you're considering developing a team, or indeed you may be looking to improve your skills or diversify into the world of threat intelligence. If, however, you already have a cybersecurity program and have already paid lots of money to different vendors to support that, you may be wondering if it's worth spending money on intelligence-specific products. And that would be a completely valid question. In this chapter, we'll look to answer that question, in addition to considering how you can better use your existing suppliers and understanding what facets of CTI you may need or want to bring in-house.
