Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) is more than indicators of compromise (IOC) I *may* have ranted about that before.

- they must share a comms team with ASD who invite people to view their CAM content (an acronym we all know to mean child abuse material - well they obviously dont or they wouldnt have used it in this context)
True - after all why get people who actually work in security to help create security awareness … what would we know…
Oh FFS - i cannot even think of anything pithy or suitably snarky to say about this. Other than unenlightened people who do not look beyond their noses and realise what they are inadvertantly saying (acronyms have connotations too - why didnt their comms people check that)
