Threat Intelligence Works Best When It’s Operationalized

ReliaQuest's GreyMatter platform integrates threat intelligence directly into security operations center workflows to enable faster detection, hunting, and response. Forrester recognized the product among notable external threat intelligence providers for its AI-enabled, operationalized approach that embeds intelligence into SIEM, EDR, and automated response systems rather than isolating it in standalone platforms. The company argues that manual translation of intelligence into detections creates delays that adversaries exploit, with data exfiltration sometimes occurring in six minutes while average detection takes 51 minutes.

Why it matters: SOC teams and security leaders need to understand that vendor-provided threat intelligence only reduces risk when integrated into active detection and response workflows; isolated feeds and reports leave organizations vulnerable to the speed at which modern attacks execute.

Threat Intelligence Works Best When It’s Operationalized

ReliaQuest's GreyMatter platform was named a notable external threat intelligence provider in Forrester's Q1 2026 landscape report. The report stresses that intelligence must be operationalized within SOC workflows to reduce detection delays. GreyMatter integrates intelligence from open, deep, and dark web sources and uses Agentic Teammates to automatically update detections, launch hunts, and trigger response playbooks.

Why it matters: SOC analysts and threat hunters benefit when intelligence is directly fed into detection and response tools, reducing manual handoffs and closing the gap between intel collection and action.
