About this tag
Threat intelligence on WindowsForum.com covers how organizations use security data to defend against real-world attacks. Discussions include Microsoft's push for public-private threat intelligence as a condition for safe AI adoption, the OP-512 China-linked IIS web shell framework targeting Windows servers, and the SearchLeak vulnerability in Microsoft 365 Copilot that exposed data-exfiltration risks. Other threads explore Microsoft's CTI-REALM benchmark for AI-driven detection engineering, Defender's evolution into a continuous threat-intelligence service, and the operational value of turning threat reports into actionable detections via MITRE ATT&CK mapping. The tag reflects a focus on practical, enterprise-grade security intelligence rather than theoretical concepts.
