Threat Intelligence Platforms A threat-intelligence platform transforms feeds into actionable decisions, while intel teams operate in varied configurations: some engage in open-source sharing communities, others operationalize commercial intelligence into SOC workflows, some focus on infrastructure hunting and external attack surface management through services like protective DNS, and some primarily investigate link-by-link investigations across graphs. Ownership has shifted across several products in recent years, and we highlight these changes where relevant. MISP — Best Free, Standard, Community-Driven TIP MISP — Best Free, Standard, Community-Driven TIP MISP is the open-source project that the entire field has standardized on: events and attributes shared across trust groups, taxonomies and galaxies (including ATT&CK), feeds in and out, and integrations everywhere.
