Doctrine

In military and intelligence contexts, doctrine refers to the fundamental principles, beliefs, and methods that guide an organization's actions in achieving its objectives. It provides a common framework for how forces are organized, trained, and employed.

TECHNICAL DEFINITION

Military doctrine comprises the foundational principles, authoritative beliefs, and established Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) that govern the preparation and employment of military and intelligence forces to achieve strategic and tactical objectives across all operational domains, ensuring interoperability and mission success.

BACKGROUND

Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) is a part of cybersecurity that focuses on collecting, analyzing, and sharing information about potential or existing cyber threats. It gives organizations the information needed to predict, prevent, and respond to cyberattacks, enabling them to understand attackers’ behavior, tactics, and the vulnerabilities they exploit.
