Threat intelligence is a compilation of threat information that is gathered across external sources and used to prevent and mitigate cyberattacks. Threat data is organized, refined and augmented to make it actionable and to allow your cybersecurity team to understand threats and the actors behind them.
The X-Force Threat Intelligence team delivers global threat intel applied to your security operations with detection and response content. We help streamline workflow, orchestration and applications that drive enrichment, collaboration, visualization and advanced analytics, providing:
Threat intelligence empowers cybersecurity teams to proactively defend against and rapidly respond to threats attacking their organization by helping them identify and understand their adversary, create a response plan and allocate resources strategically. Cybersecurity teams can use threat intelligence to block attacks in real time and mitigate the risk of attackers affecting their brand and reputation.
Threat intelligence is valuable to different members across the security operations center (SOC), from real-time blocking for tier 1 analysts, aiding investigation and threat hunting for more experienced analysts, to helping SOC leaders make strategic decisions.
Quad9, a partnership between IBM, Packet Clearing House and Global Cyber Alliance, is a recursive DNS platform that blocks against malicious domains to prevent your computers and IoT devices from connecting to malware or phishing sites.

The X-Force Threat Intelligence Index is based on insights and observations from monitoring over 150 billion security events per day in more than 130 countries. In addition, data is gathered and analyzed from multiple sources within IBM, including IBM X-Force Threat Intelligence, Incident Response, X-Force Red, IBM Managed Security Services, and data provided from Red Hat Insights and Intezer , which contributed to the 2024 report.
This wide reach into users' online activity was evident in the FBI and European law enforcement's April 2023 takedown of a global cybercrime forum that collected the login details of more than 80 million user accounts. Identity-based threats will likely continue to grow as adversaries leverage generative AI to optimize their attacks. Already in 2023, X-Force observed over 800,000 posts on AI and GPT across Dark Web forums, reaffirming these innovations have caught cybercriminals attention and interest.
Worldwide, nearly 70% of attacks that X-Force responded to were against critical infrastructure organizations, an alarming finding highlighting that cybercriminals are wagering on these high value targets' need for uptime to advance their objectives.
Nearly 85% of attacks that X-Force responded to on this sector were caused by exploiting public-facing applications, phishing emails, and the use of valid accounts. The latter poses an increased risk to the sector, with DHS CISA stating that the majority of successful attacks on government agencies, critical infrastructure organizations and state-level government bodies in 2022 involved the use of valid accounts. This highlights the need for these organizations to frequently stress test their environments for potential exposures and develop incident response plans.
X-Force, incident responders, researchers, and analysts are at the forefront of the battle against cybercrime. These experts bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the table, constantly analyzing emerging threats and vulnerabilities to stay one step ahead of attacks. Their ability to anticipate and understand new attack vectors enables them to provide actionable intelligence and timely guidance to organizations across the globe, via major research reports like the Threat Intelligence Index 2023, Cloud Threat Landscape (2023 edition coming in September), and Cost of a Data Breach 2023, in addition to ongoing research published here. This hub will provide a front-row seat to the latest X-Force research.
