Executive Brief: Cyber Threat Intelligence for C-Suite Strategic Goals

Intel 471’s perspectives on the findings from the SANS 2025 Cyber Threat Intelligence Survey

Intel 471 SANS Starburst gradient

The SANS 2025 Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) Survey is an independent industry assessment that examines the key trends about how organizations use CTI to reduce stakeholder risk priorities. 

This Intel 471 paper is purposefully designed to assist senior business executives who increasingly instruct and influence CTI priorities according to findings from the survey.  

Highlighted are key takeaways for using CTI in making strategic risk decisions:

  • Over half of executives interviewed by SANS are determining CTI requirements and assessing cyber risk for their operational functions, up from just 33% in 2024
  • CISOs now have a critical but different role in interfacing between boards, CTI, and threat hunting teams
  • CTI teams are investing in tools and processes to translate CTI program outputs into business priorities
  • This report proposes stakeholder-driven metrics to measure and drive the effectiveness of CTI programs
