Similar to other cyber-related notions, there is not any crystallized definition of “cyber intelligence,” nor are there enough studies focusing on how it is crafted. In light of the above, the present paper draws a clearer picture of this emerging practice by taking stock of the existing analytical work on the topic. The paper reviews the available scientific literature addressing cyber intelligence, discusses the notion of cyber INT, and examines how this intelligence is crafted through the lens of the (cyber) “intelligence cycle.” The paper concludes by stressing the importance of developing a clear and shared understanding of cyber intelligence among relevant security and, especially, cybersecurity stakeholders.
