Every security team has a familiar moment. A new advisory lands in the inbox. An indicator shows up in a feed. An analyst opens multiple tabs to validate context, confidence, and relevance. Somewhere between enrichment, investigation, and reporting, the original question gets delayed: does this matter to us, and what should we do about it?
That friction is rarely about a lack of tools. It comes from intelligence being fragmented across systems, workflows, and formats. The result is slow prioritization, inconsistent handling, and limited visibility for leadership into how threat intelligence is actually being used.
Cyware Intel Exchange is designed to bring structure to that complexity by managing the full lifecycle of threat intelligence in one platform. It is built to help organizations sift through millions of data points, focus on what is most relevant, and act with confidence across downstream security systems.
A unified view of threat intelligence posture
Cyware Intel Exchange provides a centralized view to understand threat intelligence posture in one place. Data is consolidated and processed within the platform so analysts can prioritize adversaries, behaviors, and indicators most relevant to their organization, while leaders gain visibility into how intelligence is classified, prioritized, and used without manual aggregation or external reporting.
Ingesting intelligence from diverse sources
Cyware Intel Exchange supports multiple ingestion channels, including built-in API feed integrations with more than fifty commercial and community providers. Intelligence can also be ingested from RSS feeds, community-based sharing groups, email inboxes, web scrapers, and webhooks. ISAC members can configure subscribed feeds directly within the platform.
As part of the Cyware Intelligence Suite, Cyware Intel Exchange includes bundled, curated feeds available out of the box for sectors such as energy, healthcare, operational technology, financial services, government, and manufacturing. High-fidelity ransomware and malware feeds are also available , enabling organizations to start with relevant intelligence from day zero.
Operationalizing intelligence
Cyware Intel Exchange integrates with SIEM platforms, SOAR tools, network security technologies, and endpoint detection and response solutions so prioritized intelligence can be disseminated downstream for threat hunting, detection, and response without manual handoffs. A dedicated Intel Operations module extends this with access to more than three hundred applications for building custom workflows that automate how intelligence is acted upon.
Enrichment with context, on demand
Analysts can enrich indicators on demand using integrated enrichment tools, while rule-based enrichment policies automate enrichment as indicators are ingested. Incoming intelligence across APIs, JSON, CSV, and PDF documents is normalized into a structured STIX-based threat data ontology, enabling consistent analysis, correlation, and automation.
AI-powered extraction of unstructured intelligence
Alongside automated feeds, analysts can upload documents and use AI-powered intelligence extraction to parse and extract indicators, attack patterns, malware, and tools, then create intelligence reports within the platform. Cyware Intel Exchange also supports importing intelligence in CSV or STIX JSON formats, which are ingested as structured reports.
Search, filtering, and contextual queries
Cyware Intel Exchange supports search and query using filters across indicators, malware, sources, source types, and collections, as well as markings such as TLP and marking definitions. Additional filtering uses tags, custom feed scores, and associated sightings. Analysts can also use the Cyware query language to build relational queries and contextual saved searches.
Detailed threat data views and investigation workflows
Indicator detail pages consolidate intelligence from multiple feed providers, automatically de-duplicate data, and correlate it with existing intelligence to maintain a single authoritative record. Analysts can review attributes, related objects, enrichment results, and tags organized into user, source, and system categories.
The analysis section allows analysts to score data manually, build reports, and reference original source information. Relations provide a holistic view of connected intelligence objects. Enrichment can be performed directly from the object view, either on demand or through predefined policies. Sightings show how and when indicators have been observed, while the action section records automation, manual rules, and action logs. Notes and tasks support tracking and collaboration, and quick actions allow analysts to publish indicators or create investigation tickets directly.
Visual investigations through the threat investigation canvas
Cyware Intel Exchange includes a visual threat investigation canvas that presents intelligence and relationships as a knowledge graph. Analysts can enrich data, add new objects, pull in related nodes, filter by data type, and create analytical views such as diamond model analysis or custom layouts to build a complete intelligence package.
Risk-based prioritization
Indicators are automatically scored using a customizable risk scoring algorithm that supports relevance-based prioritization. Scoring considers feed source confidence, enrichment results, and organization-specific attributes, including sector relevance, threat actors, and malware context.
AI-generated summaries and threat actor context
An AI-powered summary feature creates contextual summaries for threat objects using source attribution, relationships, and metadata.
For threat actors, summaries include executive overviews, actor profiling, tactical profiling, victimology, external references, and AI-inferred threat analysis. The platform also provides defensive recommendations, mitigation guidance, courses of action, and insights for proactive hunting and predictive analysis, supporting detection engineering and proactive defense planning.
Advanced visualization and dashboarding
Cyware Intel Exchange includes a visualization module for tracking and sharing key performance indicators, threat trends, emerging threats, TTPs, geographic and sector-based IP distributions, and prevalent threat tags.
Out-of-the-box dashboards include analyst dashboards, an attack navigator dashboard showing correlated TTPs, and a feeds ROI dashboard assessing commercial feed value based on data quality, recency, and early reporting. Custom dashboards can be created using graphical widgets built on saved searches and can be viewed in-platform or shared via email.
ATT&CK mapping
Cyware Intel Exchange includes an attack navigator module that provides visibility into the MITRE ATT&CK matrix across enterprise, mobile, and ICS frameworks. The module presents correlated TTPs through heat maps and supports switching between matrices.
Analysts can create custom MITRE layers to assess TTP relevance, map coverage, implement mitigations, and strengthen proactive defense strategies based on observed behavior.
Watchlists, rules, and automation
The watchlist module allows organizations to track keywords and receive notifications when those terms appear in ingested intelligence. Watchlists can automatically tag data and support peer-based dashboards and sector-specific workflows.
The rules module forms the core of automation within Cyware Intel Exchange. Rules can trigger actions based on conditions such as source, data type, risk score, tags, or text match. Actions include publishing indicators to collections, sending indicators to EDR platforms, blocking indicators on firewalls, generating SIEM alerts, and updating scores or tags.
Cyware Intel Exchange also supports bi-directional sharing through a native hub-and-spoke TAXII model. Organizations can create subscribers, control access to feeds, and enable machine-to-machine sharing with downstream systems that support TAXII.
Playbooks and advanced orchestration
Intel Operations extends automation through playbooks that support complex workflows. The platform includes an out-of-the-box playbook store with industry-standard workflows for threat hunting, vulnerability and risk assessment, attack surface assessment, and detection engineering.
An AI-powered playbook builder allows analysts to create playbooks using natural language prompts without coding. Playbooks can include human-in-the-loop authorization and can be refined through analyst feedback. AI-powered nodes also enable custom functions such as writing code, transforming data, or drafting emails directly within workflows.
Cyware Intel Exchange brings ingestion, enrichment, investigation, visualization, prioritization, automation, and dissemination in a single threat intelligence platform.
