There is an old American legend about a larger-than-life lumberjack, Paul Bunyan, whose mighty axe carved forests and shaped the frontier. As the story goes, Paul faced off against a steam-powered saw that threatened to outpace his manual brute force effort. With his trusty ox, Babe, by his side, he tackled the challenge head-on. He challenged the innovators to a contest, swinging his axe with all his might. Despite his heroic effort, the mach...

Over the past few years, the cyber threat landscape has been defined by supply chain compromises, the targeting of cloud and SaaS environments, and the growing use of AI by both defenders and adversaries. At the same time, state-backed and geopolitically motivated operations and an increasingly professionalized cybercrime ecosystem are further increasing complexity. These developments reinforce that CTI serves a dual mission: enabling operatio...
