A new study presented at Infosecurity Europe 2026 reveals that business leaders struggle with understanding threat intelligence, which may leave organizations vulnerable to cyber threats. The report highlights an 'intelligence-stakeholder gap' where valuable threat intelligence is not fully utilized or acknowledged by senior leadership.
To mitigate this, organizations must ensure threat intelligence teams effectively communicate their findings, prioritize risk insights, and seek continuous feedback from stakeholders. The study emphasizes that timely and relevant threat intelligence can empower leaders to make informed decisions and adjust organizational risk profiles accordingly.
