1. Executive summary

For a decade, the cyber threat narrative has been one of escalating sophistication. Over the past twelve months, it has become one of escalating speed. Across reporting from Google [1], Microsoft [2], CrowdStrike [3], Mandiant [4], Anthropic [5] and OpenAI [6], a consistent picture has emerged: artificial intelligence is not fundamentally changing what adversaries can do. Instead, it is letting them execute existing tactics faster, at greater scale, and with fewer skilled people.

In the fast-paced world of cybersecurity, SOC and CTI analysts need one thing above all else: clarity. With so much data coming in every day, how do you determine what’s truly critical? EclecticIQ’s Observable Risk Score empowers analysts to cut through the noise, prioritize high-confidence threats, and act with precision - all while saving valuable time. 

Threat intelligence is only as valuable as its relevance, accuracy, and timeliness. Many security teams struggle with an overload of data that doesn’t match their organization’s actual risks, leading to wasted resources, missed threats, and ineffective security decisions.
