# awesome-threat-intelligence
A curated list of awesome Threat Intelligence resources
A concise definition of Threat Intelligence: *evidence-based knowledge, including context, mechanisms, indicators, implications and actionable advice, about an existing or emerging menace or hazard to assets that can be used to inform decisions regarding the subject’s response to that menace or hazard*.

## Sources
Most of the resources listed below provide lists and/or APIs to obtain (hopefully) up-to-date information with regards to threats.
Some consider these sources as threat intelligence, opinions differ however.
A certain amount of (domain- or business-specific) analysis is necessary to create true threat intelligence.

It's designed for organizations who perform intel-driven detection and response and who put an emphasis on having a mature detection program.
The maturity of an organization is not measured by it's ability to merely obtain relevant intelligence, but rather it's capacity to apply that intelligence effectively to detection and response functions.
