the people they are sharing threat intelligence information with. In the age of AI-enabled deepfakes, professionals can never be too careful.
From drinking from the firehose to putting out fires
A challenge with joining threat intelligence sharing communities is that a lot of threat information is generated and needs to be shared daily. For already
• 75 % of organisations planned to adopt threat intelligence by 2021 and 68 % were increasing investments in 2025; however, only 30 % were engaged in formal intelligence-sharing partnerships, according to World Metrics.
• The global threat intelligence market was valued at US $ 13.6 billion in 2025, growing at a CAGR of 12.4 %, with increased adoption of shared platforms driving demand, according to The Business Research Company.
• The market for cloud-based threat intelligence services reached US $ 3.3 billion in 2025, driven by collaborative data platforms, according to The Business Research Company.
• Cybersecurity teams using collaborative intelligence platforms reduced incident response times by up to 48 %, according to Medium’ s 2025 Ecosystem Report.
• AI-driven threat intelligence platforms now automate up to 25 % of manual CTI tasks, improving accuracy and reducing analyst workload, according to a 2025 Reddit Cybersecurity Community Summary. resource-stretched teams, it can be extra work to pull together, share a threat intelligence report and filter through the incredible volumes of information. Particularly for smaller organisations, it can be a bit like drinking from a firehose.
In this context, an advanced threat intelligence platform( TIP) can be invaluable. A TIP has the capabilities to collect, filter and prioritise data, helping security teams to cut through the noise and act on threat intelligence faster. TIPs can also enrich the data with additional context, such as threat actor TTPs( Tactics, Techniques and Procedures), indicators of compromise( IOCs), and potential impact, making it easier to understand and respond to threats. Furthermore, an advanced TIP can have the capability to automatically generate threat intelligence reports, ready to be securely shared into the organisation’ s threat intelligence sharing community.
Secure threat intelligence sharing reduces risk, accelerates response and builds resilience across entire ecosystems. If you’ re not already part of a trusted intelligence-sharing community, it is time to join. And if you are, do contribute your own valuable threat information. In cybersecurity, we’ re only as strong as our weakest link and our most silent partner.
