Abstract

Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) can be used by organisations to assist their security teams in safeguarding their networks against cyber-attacks. This can be achieved by including threat data feeds into their networks or systems. However, despite being an effective Cyber Security (CS) tool, many org...
