Cyber Threat Intelligence: A Product Without a Process?	A research paper describing how current cyber threat intelligence products fall short and how they can be improved by introducing and evaluating sound methodologies and processes.
Definitive Guide to Cyber Threat Intelligence	Describes the elements of cyber threat intelligence and discusses how it is collected, analyzed, and used by a variety of human and technology consumers. Further examines how intelligence can improve cybersecurity at tactical, operational, and strategic levels, and how it can help you stop attacks sooner, improve your defenses, and talk more productively about cybersecurity issues with executive management in typical for Dummies style.
The Detection Maturity Level (DML)	The DML model is a capability maturity model for referencing ones maturity in detecting cyber attacks. It's designed for organizations who perform intel-driven detection and response and who put an emphasis on having a mature detection program. The maturity of an organization is not measured by it's ability to merely obtain relevant intelligence, but rather it's capacity to apply that intelligence effectively to detection and response functions.
The Diamond Model of Intrusion Analysis	This paper presents the Diamond Model, a cognitive framework and analytic instrument to support and improve intrusion analysis. Supporting increased measurability, testability and repeatability in intrusion analysis in order to attain higher effectivity, efficiency and accuracy in defeating adversaries is one of its main contributions.
The Targeting Process: D3A and F3EAD	F3EAD is a military methodology for combining operations and intelligence.
Guide to Cyber Threat Information Sharing by NIST	The Guide to Cyber Threat Information Sharing (NIST Special Publication 800-150) assists organizations in establishing computer security incident response capabilities that leverage the collective knowledge, experience, and abilities of their partners by actively sharing threat intelligence and ongoing coordination. The guide provides guidelines for coordinated incident handling, including producing and consuming data, participating in information sharing communities, and protecting incident-related data.
Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield/Battlespace	This publication discusses intelligence preparation of the battlespace (IPB) as a critical component of the military decision making and planning process and how IPB supports decision making, as well as integrating processes and continuing activities.
Intelligence-Driven Computer Network Defense Informed by Analysis of Adversary Campaigns and Intrusion Kill Chains	The intrusion kill chain as presented in this paper provides one with a structured approach to intrusion analysis, indicator extraction and performing defensive actions.
ISAO Standards Organization	The ISAO Standards Organization is a non-governmental organization established on October 1, 2015. Its mission is to improve the Nation’s cybersecurity posture by identifying standards and guidelines for robust and effective information sharing related to cybersecurity risks, incidents, and best practices.
Joint Publication 2-0: Joint Intelligence	This publication by the U.S army forms the core of joint intelligence doctrine and lays the foundation to fully integrate operations, plans and intelligence into a cohesive team. The concepts presented are applicable to (Cyber) Threat Intelligence too.

MISP Core Format (draft)	This document describes the MISP core format used to exchange indicators and threat information between MISP (Malware Information and threat Sharing Platform) instances.
NECOMA Project	The Nippon-European Cyberdefense-Oriented Multilayer threat Analysis (NECOMA) research project is aimed at improving threat data collection and analysis to develop and demonstratie new cyberdefense mechanisms. As part of the project several publications and software projects have been published.
Pyramid of Pain	The Pyramid of Pain is a graphical way to express the difficulty of obtaining different levels of indicators and the amount of resources adversaries have to expend when obtained by defenders.
Structured Analytic Techniques For Intelligence Analysis	This book contains methods that represent the most current best practices in intelligence, law enforcement, homeland security, and business analysis.
Threat Intelligence: Collecting, Analysing, Evaluating	This report by MWR InfoSecurity clearly describes several different types of threat intelligence, including strategic, tactical and operational variations. It also discusses the processes of requirements elicitation, collection, analysis, production and evaluation of threat intelligence. Also included are some quick wins and a maturity model for each of the types of threat intelligence defined by MWR InfoSecurity.
Threat Intelligence Sharing Platforms: An Exploratory Study of Software Vendors and Research Perspectives	A systematic study of 22 Threat Intelligence Sharing Platforms (TISP) surfacing eight key findings about the current state of threat intelligence usage, its definition and TISPs.

It employs four colors to indicate different degrees of sensitivity and the corresponding sharing considerations to be applied by the recipient(s).
Unit42 Playbook Viewer	The goal of the Playbook is to organize the tools, techniques, and procedures that an adversary uses into a structured format, which can be shared with others, and built upon. The frameworks used to structure and share the adversary playbooks are MITRE's ATT&CK Framework and STIX 2.0
