SANS CTI Survey 2025 : Navigating Uncertainty in Today’s Threat Landscape with Andreas Sfakianakis
As the cyber threat landscape continues to evolve, the past year has presented unique challenges and opportunities for cyber threat intelligence professionals. For 2025, availability has become a critical focus within the CIA triad, with ransomware and service outages high on the agenda, and network defenders and CTI analysts acutely aware of the impact of large-scale network disruptions. Additionally, AI remains a double-edged sword, with both adversarial and beneficial applications advancing rapidly.
In response to these dynamic conditions, the SANS 2025 CTI Survey has undergone a substantial transformation. With the support of SANS' data science and analysis team, the survey has been revamped to provide deeper insights and more actionable intelligence.
The presentation will explore:
How CTI can help prepare organizations for unpredictable events with severe consequences
- How methodologies and enhanced analysis tools are shaping CTI practices
- How automation and engineering are supporting cyber threat intelligence operations
- The dual role of AI in cybersecurity, from threats to defensive measures
- How CTI teams assess their maturity and plan their CTI programs
