Security teams are drowning in information, but lacking true intelligence.
Your SOC analysts face an endless flood of alerts, IOCs, and reports.
Most of it's unstructured, unverified, and unactionable, leading to:
- Alert fatigue and burnout
- Slower response times to real threats
- Underused tools
- Underperformance relative to security investment
This all adds up to: missed signals, fragmented intelligence, and avoidable business risk.
Lack of clarity leads to increased business risk.
Every minute spent triaging noise is a minute attackers use to move unseen.
Without structured threat intelligence, your team reacts instead of anticipates.
It's how data loss, downtime, and compliance failures happen.
Not from lack of effort, but from lack of clarity on the signals that truly matter.
The modern SOC needs threat-informed defence.
Forward-thinking CISOs are adopting a threat-informed defence strategy, using threat intelligence to drive proactive security decisions.
Threat intelligence turns noise into knowledge:
• Understand who’s targeting you, why, and how
• Prioritise vulnerabilities that actually matter
• Enrich your alerts with critical context to enable a decisive response
Threat intelligence answers the questions that matter most for a security leader.
Threat intelligence cuts through alert fatigue by distilling global threat data from attack campaigns, malware samples, dark-web chatter, and incident reports into structured, actionable insight for smarter business and risk decisions. It answers questions like:
- Who is targeting us? Threat intelligence might reveal that an espionage group active in your sector is probing your network, giving you early warning to act.
- Why are we being targeted? Understanding attacker motives, from credential theft to disruption, helps align defences and stakeholder communication.
- How do they operate? Mapping attacker behaviour to MITRE ATT&CK lets your SOC hunt and detect real adversary techniques faster.
- What should we prioritise? Threat intelligence highlights which vulnerabilities are being actively exploited in your industry so you can patch what matters most.
With these answers, you can:
- Equip your SOC to pre-empt attacks before they cause impact
- Prioritise investments toward the most pressing threats targeting your industry
- Demonstrate awareness of emerging threads to boards and regulators
In short, threat intelligence helps you reduce risk by allowing you to see further over the horizon.
From strategy to execution: meet Cosive
We have spearheaded the adoption of threat intelligence best practices in APAC since our founding in 2015.
Work with APAC's threat intelligence leaders
Cosive played a pivotal role in designing and engineering the CTIS program, Australia’s national cyber threat–sharing initiative, in partnership with ASD.
Our team has also led major national intelligence–sharing initiatives at AusCERT, JPCERT, and the New Zealand Internet Task Force (NZITF), strengthening collaboration and capability across the region.
Our contributions to the field
Cosive’s experts are core contributors to the global threat intelligence ecosystem, helping shape key standards such as STIX, TAXII, MISP, frameworks that underpin how the world shares and analyses threat data. Cosive's threat intelligence experts are also collaborators on the CTI-CMM framework, the world's leading cyber threat intelligence maturity model.
We continue to advance threat intelligence globally through workshops and keynote presentations at leading industry events, including FIRST and AISA CyberCon.
CTI Maturity Assessments
Our CTI Maturity Assessment Service evaluates and enhances the effectiveness of your cyber threat intelligence capability in a structured, measurable way. Using the CTI Capability Maturity Model (CTI-CMM) as its foundation, the assessment benchmarks current intelligence practices against globally recognised standards across people, processes, and technology, and charts a course for improvement.
CloudMISP - Cosive's Managed Threat Intelligence Platform
CloudMISP is a fully managed service that simplifies cyber threat intelligence sharing. It removes the need for internal maintenance or specialist resources by providing a secure, expertly operated platform. The result is faster deployment, lower overhead, and confidence in a best-practice, enterprise-grade solution that strengthens your organisation’s cyber resilience and collaboration.
Custom Integration Development
Our threat intelligence engineers build custom integrations to connect real-time threat intelligence feeds with the tools your SOC uses daily, transforming siloed tools into a cohesive security ecosystem.
Expert guidance & training
We work with you to assess and improve your organisation's threat intelligence capabilities, create strategic roadmaps, and uplift capability through globally recognised cyber threat intelligence training, including our popular MISP Kickstart workshop.
Outcomes we deliver
The modern SOC needs an experienced partner who can turn threat intelligence strategy into operational reality.
Our threat intelligence leadership team
Chris Horsley, CTO & Co-founder
Global speaker and trainer on threat intelligence best practices. Invited to present on threat intelligence at major security conferences including FIRST, AusCERT, AISA CyberCon, and hack.lu. Previously worked with national cybersecurity response teams in Japan and Australia.
Terry MacDonald, COO & Co-founder
Serves as Chairperson of the New Zealand Internet Task Force, leading efforts to strengthen national cybersecurity collaboration. Key contributor to international cybersecurity standards that help organisations exchange threat intelligence securely and effectively (STIX, TAXII, and CybOX).
Prescott Pym, Principal Consultant
Helped design and launch Australia’s national cyber threat intelligence sharing program (CTIS), led by the Australian Signals Directorate. Spent 14 years in security operations at Verizon, collaborating with major national and corporate security centres.
Meet with our threat intelligence experts.
We'll reach out to arrange an introductory meeting to explore your current challenges, assess where threat intelligence maturity can strengthen your SOC, and outline practical next steps to build a more resilient, threat-informed organisation.
