Threats now span cyber activity, geopolitical developments, physical security and information operations, often converging in ways that make risk harder to assess and respond to in isolation. In this environment, security and risk teams rely on intelligence that provides context and clarity to support earlier, more confident decisions. According to Forrester, organizations increasingly rely on external threat intelligence service providers to strengthen strategic decision‑making, safeguard brand trust and reputation and improve resilience against physical and cyber threats.
The Forrester Landscape highlights the continued evolution of the external threat intelligence market, outlining how providers differentiate through the structure, breadth and contextualization of intelligence, enabling teams to move beyond isolated indicators towards more proactive, risk‑based approaches. Forrester also points to the growing role of AI‑enabled workflows alongside human expertise, as security teams seek intelligence that aligns more closely with business context and operational objectives.
“External threat intelligence plays an increasingly important role in helping organizations understand which developments, behaviors and actors are most relevant to their risk profile,” said Geoff Brown, CEO of Silobreaker. “Silobreaker is built as an intelligence engine that applies context and analysis to open‑source intelligence, helping organizations cut through noise and turn signals into insight they can use to make better decisions.”
