Does your organization have a process to receive and review cybersecurity threat intelligence from reputable third-party sources?

Explanation

Staying ahead of attackers depends on outside intelligence, and reviewers want to know whether you have a process to receive and review threat intelligence from reputable third parties. Regular review of security advisories helps organizations anticipate potential threats, understand emerging attack vectors, and proactively adjust security controls to address specific risks before they are exploited.

Evidence of fulfillment could include documentation of subscribed threat intelligence feeds (e.g., US-CERT, CISA, industry ISACs), meeting minutes from threat intelligence review sessions, or screenshots of a threat intelligence platform showing recent advisories with annotations on their relevance to your environment.
