    Threat Intelligence has gotten a lot of attention in the last few years. What is it? Who understands it?

    Shifts in the current cybersecurity service provider market somewhat resemble an episode of the infamous game show Wheel of Fortune, where contestants purchase letters to capitalize and prosper on the show.
