ThreatConnect’s Threat Intelligence Maturity Model (TIMM)
The Maturing Threat Intelligence whitepaper introduces ThreatConnect’s Threat Intelligence Maturity Model (TIMM), which guides organizations from ad hoc data collection to fully optimized intelligence operations. It defines five stages: Initial, Managed, Defined, Quantitatively Managed, and Optimizing, each focusing on improving people, processes, and technology. Early stages rely on spreadsheets and raw OSINT, while mature levels involve automation, AI-driven analytics, and integration across security functions. At the highest stage, organizations align CTI with business strategy, enabling proactive defense, reduced false positives, faster responses, and measurable impact on risk reduction.
