Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) is a powerful tool to enable organizations to make better decisions. But too often, common myths and misconceptions about it prevent analysts from making it as effective as it could be. This talk will discuss commonly-believed untruths about CTI while helping the audience understand how they can use CTI to support better decision-making and improved defenses. The audience will take away a richer understanding of CTI and why they should care about it, while being empowered to go back to their teams and help others understand its value as well.
