The new threat intel arms race: Why AI, automation, and open data changes everything

- How open data and OSINT feeds are changing what “actionable intel” looks like — what to trust, how to validate, and how to reduce noise while improving detection and response outcomes.
- What CISOs must do to modernize intel pipelines for real-time operations — governance, tooling, workflows, and collaboration models that connect government, industry, and open-source communities without slowing down.
