Episode 6 — Translate cyber threat intelligence into prioritized detections and response decisions
This episode explains how threat intelligence becomes action inside a SOC, because GSOM questions often test whether you can turn information into a practical detection or response plan rather than collecting intel as a hobby. You’ll define common intel outputs—indicators, tactics and techniques, targeting profiles, and campaign context—and then map each one to what it can realistically drive: detections, hunts, control tuning, or stakeholder communications. We’ll walk through prioritization logic that blends threat relevance with business exposure, so you can justify why one detection or playbook update is higher value than another. You’ll also examine scenarios where intel is incomplete or noisy, and learn response considerations such as when to block, when to monitor, and when to treat intel as a hypothesis requiring validation to avoid self-inflicted outages.
