Intel Exchange (CTIX) is an automated Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) designed to help security teams turn large volumes of raw threat data into prioritized, actionable intelligence.

It automates three key steps:

• Ingestion: Automatically collects threat intelligence and machine-readable IOCs from multiple sources, including curated feeds, OSINT, premium feeds, and ISAC/CERT advisories. It supports STIX 2.x and can ingest data from almost any format.
• Enrichment & correlation: Normalizes and deduplicates incoming data to reduce noise and false positives, then enriches it with context like threat actors, campaigns, and TTPs (tactics, techniques, and procedures). This refined view gives analysts higher-fidelity threat intelligence.
• Prioritization & action: Uses IOC confidence scoring and a feeds ROI calculator to help you focus on the most relevant threats and optimize threat intel investments. Integrated MITRE ATT&CK heatmaps and sandbox detonations further support deeper investigation and faster decision-making.

With native integrations (over 375 with SIEM, firewalls, EDR, XDR, and SOAR tools), CTIX helps security teams automate workflows, orchestrate responses, and share intelligence across teams and partners. It is built to support security teams of different sizes through options like Intel Exchange for large enterprises, Intel Exchange Lite for emerging programs, and Intel Exchange Spoke for small businesses that want a managed service.

CTIX is designed to reimagine how security teams collaborate around threat intelligence by breaking down silos and enabling structured, automated sharing.

Key collaboration capabilities include:

• Embedded integrations: CTIX offers 375+ native integrations with leading SIEMs, firewalls, EDRs, XDRs, and SOAR platforms. This allows threat intelligence to flow into and out of your existing tools without heavy custom work.
• Bidirectional intelligence sharing: It is STIX 2.x compliant, enabling bi-directional exchange of threat intelligence across internal teams and external communities. This supports use cases with MSSPs, ISACs, ISAOs, CERTs, and other trusted ecosystems.
• Collaboration at scale: CTIX supports collaborative threat visibility, sharing, and awareness, and it is trusted by over 90 ISACs. Security teams can share insights with suppliers and partners, not just internally, which increases the reach and impact of their threat intelligence.
• Beyond incident response: Orchestration is not limited to incident handling; it is designed to inform and connect siloed security operations teams so they can coordinate on prevention, detection, and response activities.

Together, these capabilities help organizations move from isolated analyses to coordinated, ecosystem-wide threat management.

CTIX is built to fit different organizational sizes, maturity levels, and infrastructure requirements, giving teams flexibility in how they adopt and scale threat intelligence operations.

Deployment options include:

• Public cloud – For teams that prefer a cloud-based model with easier scalability and management.
• Private cloud – For organizations that need more control and isolation while still benefiting from cloud infrastructure.
• On-premises – For environments with strict data residency, compliance, or control requirements.
• Air-gapped – For highly sensitive or classified environments that require strict network isolation.

Product variations to match program maturity:

• Intel Exchange – For large enterprises with mature threat intelligence programs that need advanced automation, orchestration, and ecosystem collaboration.
• Intel Exchange Lite – For new or emerging threat intel programs that want to establish foundational capabilities and scale over time.
• Intel Exchange Spoke – For smaller businesses that prefer a managed service model while still leveraging CTIX capabilities.

Across these models, CTIX supports use cases such as automated threat ingestion and refinement, MITRE ATT&CK-based investigations, sandboxing of suspicious files, and orchestrated actions across security tools—helping teams increase speed and accuracy while managing costs and analyst workload.
