Cyber Threat Intelligence, or CTI, is how organisations move from reacting to incidents to staying ahead of them. It is the structured process of collecting, analysing, and operationalising intelligence about threats targeting networks, systems, and data. When done right, CTI provides clarity on risk and enables decisive, preventative action.
At Red Piranha, threat intelligence sits at the core of our security strategy. We are a global leader in threat intelligence collection and processing, and the only organisation in the APAC region that is a member of the Cyber Threat Alliance, collaborating with international partners to disrupt adversary activity at scale.
Our intelligence pipeline begins with continuous collection. We monitor network traffic, scan the internet for indicators of compromise, and ingest intelligence from trusted sources, including law enforcement, defence, partner organisations, and government stakeholders. This data is then analysed using advanced techniques such as correlation, pattern analysis, and statistical modelling to identify real threats, emerging campaigns, and attacker behaviour.
The most critical step is operationalisation. Intelligence is automatically pushed into the Crystal Eye platform, allowing security controls to act in real time. This enables a Moving Target Defence approach, where attack surfaces dynamically change through techniques such as IP shuffling and virtual patching, reducing attacker effectiveness and dwell time.
To support scalable and secure intelligence sharing, Red Piranha uses open standards including STIX and TAXII. STIX provides a structured way to represent threats, indicators, and relationships, while TAXII securely transports this intelligence between platforms and trusted partners.
Many organisations struggle with CTI due to data overload, lack of context, and skill or integration gaps. Red Piranha addresses these challenges by curating and enriching intelligence before automatically enforcing it across security technologies, reducing false positives and operational fatigue.
We also actively share intelligence externally with partners such as the Cyber Threat Alliance and government bodies, including the Australian Cyber Security Centre. Weekly reports, YARA rules, and IDPS signatures are published to help organisations defend against threats before campaigns are launched.
Threat intelligence is built on observables such as malicious IP addresses, domains, file hashes, and anomalous network traffic. When enriched with context and behaviour, these indicators become actionable intelligence that drives real defence.
Integrated across firewalls, IDS, SIEM, EDR, and Crystal Eye’s Network Detection and Response capabilities, cyber threat intelligence enables faster detection, stronger prevention, and informed response. In short, CTI transforms security from static protection into an adaptive, intelligence-led defence of critical assets.
