Building a robust cyber threat intelligence (CTI) function requires executive buy-in and a clear understanding of its strategic value, rather than treating it as a mere security operations center appendage. Recent surveys indicate a significant increase in executive involvement in intelligence requirements and a corresponding rise in funding as a top blocker for CTI teams. Organizations that effectively integrate AI with strong governance and human oversight are better positioned to mitigate data breach costs, while those without this scaffolding face higher expenses and increased risks from shadow AI and AI-augmented attacks.
