How ThreatConnect Balances Man and Machine with Practical AI

At ThreatConnect, we believe that cybersecurity teams need AI solutions that enhance—not replace—
their expertise so they can make faster, smarter, and more informed decisions. As a result, we take a
dynamic, use case-driven approach to building AI solutions for security teams.

In practice, that looks like building solutions around three core AI capabilities and mapping those solutions
into the threat intelligence lifecycle. Those AI capabilities include:

• Correlation: Uncover meaningful relationships across vast datasets and CTI frameworks to
improve prioritization, context, and decision-making.
• Classification: Automatically tag, categorize, and contextualize threat intelligence to align with
frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK.
• Acceleration: Reduce technical barriers to action through customizable automation and by
distilling large volumes of intelligence, enabling teams to act faster

As a result, our AI technology is deeply integrated into the ThreatConnect ecosystem, supporting
intelligence operations with automated decision support, classification, correlation, scoring, and
summarization. To date, more than 250 enterprises worldwide trust our AI solutions to help them stay
ahead of adversaries.

Choosing a Future of AI Collaboration

In many cybersecurity spheres, machine learning and AI are not necessarily new technologies. However,
they’re increasingly becoming must-have resources in today’s threat landscape.

By thinking critically about the best ways to wield AI—to shore up its weaknesses with human intuition,
context, and creativity while leveraging its strengths—cybersecurity teams can maximize the impact of
AI now and in the future.
