Threat Intelligence for IoT & OT
What is Threat Intelligence?
Threat intelligence is the collection and analysis of data about current and potential attacks. In the IoT/OT world, it includes details like:
-
Indicators of Compromise (IoCs)
-
Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs)
-
Threat actor profiles targeting industrial systems
-
π§ Early Warning: Know when attackers are targeting your sector
-
π‘️ Defense Strategy: Update firewalls, SIEMs, and controls with real-world data
-
π§ͺ Incident Response: React faster with known threat patterns
-
π§ Patch Prioritization: Fix what attackers are actively exploiting
Tools & Sources
-
MITRE ATT&CK for ICS – Maps out attack steps on industrial systems
-
MISP, Anomali, Recorded Future – Popular threat feeds
-
ISACs (like E-ISAC or Health-ISAC) – Share threats across industries
-
Shodan + honeypots – Discover exposed devices & attack trends
Key Benefits
-
Real-time awareness of threats
-
Informed, proactive defenses
-
Better coordination between IT and OT teams
-
Avoid surprises from zero-days or ransomware
Final Thought
Threat intelligence is no longer optional. For secure IoT/OT systems, it’s the radar you need to see what’s coming — before it hits.
