The report argues that many enterprises engage in “intelligence theater” and must evolve to operationalized Intelligence Operations to achieve measurable ROI. It outlines four maturity stages—from Reactive to Autonomous—emphasizing automated workflows, continuous autonomous hunting, and real-time impact measurement, citing survey-based gains in time savings, triage efficiency, and detection speed. The document urges three shifts—mindset (measure outcomes), technology (integrated orchestration), and process (machines automate, humans decide)—to convert CTI from a cost center into a value generator.
