Why Threat Intelligence Is the Missing Link in CTEM Prioritization and Validation
Summary: A Filigran-commissioned third-party market survey cited in this article found that 96% of security teams struggle to validate whether their risks are exploitable, and 2 in 3 lack a consolidated view of their cyber risk exposure. The article argues that CTEM's prioritization and validation phases depend on structured threat intelligence, noting that over 40,000 new CVEs were disclosed in 2024 and that 42% of SOC teams' time goes to investigating risks later found to be low priority or not exploitable.
Bottom line: Nearly half of analyst hours are spent on investigations that turn out not to matter, while fewer than 4 in 10 organizations have continuous, automated, intelligence-driven validation - so the gap between knowing about a threat and proving you can stop it stays open.
