2026 SANS CTI Survey Insights: From Indicators to Insights: How CTI Empowers Both Practitioners and Decision-Maker

Over the past few years, the cyber threat landscape has been defined by supply chain compromises, the targeting of cloud and SaaS environments, and the growing use of AI by both defenders and adversaries. At the same time, state-backed and geopolitically motivated operations and an increasingly professionalized cybercrime ecosystem are further increasing complexity. These developments reinforce that CTI serves a dual mission: enabling operational teams to detect, disrupt, and respond effectively, while also supporting executives and boards in making informed, risk-based decisions.

The 2026 SANS CTI Survey explores how CTI programs are addressing this full spectrum of needs.
