Stop Collecting Intelligence. Start Changing Outcomes.
Security teams aren’t failing due to a lack of data—they’re drowning in it. Feeds for feeds, endless alerts, and dashboards ignored for days. The problem isn’t volume; it’s utility.
When a zero-day hits or an exec asks, “Are we exposed?”, it shouldn’t take hours of searching through multiple tools. Yet, for many teams, that’s reality. Intelligence exists, but it’s fragmented, slow, and disconnected from those making decisions.
This is why we conducted our 2025 Customer Survey. We wanted to go beyond buzzwords and uncover what happens when intelligence stops being a “feed” and becomes an operational system.
The High Cost of Fragmentation
Our survey found 49% of respondents struggled to integrate SIEM, SOAR, and EDR tools before adopting a unified approach. Worse, 83% couldn’t find key information quickly during investigations.
This gap forces analysts to manually piece together context across tools, leading to burnout, false positives, and missed threats.
The UCRI Breakthrough: Foresight, Focus, Action
Gartner’s Unified Cyber Risk Intelligence (UCRI) model fuses internal and external signals, aligns intelligence to business risks, and delivers it to decision-makers. This drives a shift from reactive chaos to proactive confidence in three phases:
1. Foresight: Seeing What Matters Early
Foresight identifies threats that matter to you. Instead of being overwhelmed by severity, you know what’s critical based on business context.
The Proof:
- 79% of respondents said ThreatConnect improved the performance of their SIEM, SOAR, and EDR tools.
2. Focus: Prioritizing by Business Risk
Focus aligns intelligence with business impact, transforming “Here’s a threat” into “Here’s its financial risk.”
The Proof:
- 80% of teams struggled to prioritize threats before UCRI.
- 41% reduced false positives by 50% or more after adopting a unified approach.
3. Action: Turning Decisions into Defense
Intelligence must lead to action. Automated workflows help block IPs, isolate hosts, and update policies—reducing friction and response times.
The Proof:
- 70% of respondents lowered Mean Time to Respond (MTTR).
- Customers describe ThreatConnect as “seamless integration… enabling faster threat response.”
From Tool to Operating System
The biggest takeaway? When Foresight, Focus, and Action work together, intelligence becomes the backbone of cyber defense. It informs detection, shapes priorities, and coordinates response—turning intelligence into outcomes.
