Cybersecurity changes rapidly, but one thing remains constant. Threats don't seem to slow down. If your network and security tools aren't up to the task of protecting your organization now, it's not likely to get better going forward. Cybercrime is an industry unto itself, with new business models and tactics being developed all the time. 

Threat intelligence captured in the real world can warn IT security teams about the types of menaces that are on the horizon and when they could arrive, how they might function, and how much damage they may cause. The more visibility organizations have, the better they can defend against attacks.
