New assessment provides a structured method to evaluate and uplevel CTI program maturity WILMINGTON, Del., June 10, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Intel 471, the foremost provider of high-fidelity threat intelligence-driven solutions, today announced its new Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) Maturity Pulse Check, a free, lightweight self-assessment for practitioners based on the Cyber Threat Intelligence Capability Maturity Model (CTI-CMM v1.3). The CTI Maturity Pulse Check offers a quick, structured way for organizations to reflect on their CTI program’s current capabilities, highlight areas that warrant a closer look and help security teams prepare for a more thorough assessment using the official CTI-CMM tool. "The CTI-CMM is a community-driven framework designed to give security teams a clear roadmap for improving how they support their wider business," said Michael DeBolt, President and Chief Intelligence Officer of Intel 471. "We created this streamlined version to make the framework more accessible for busy practitioners who want to kickstart internal planning for more comprehensive CTI program evaluations. The assessment is also free to support the broader CTI community amidst rapidly evolving cyber and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven threats in today’s cybersecurity landscape." The 2026 SANS Cyber Threat Intelligence Survey found that 43% of CTI programs do not track maturity over time. At the same time, only 26% of CISOs feel CTI truly drives strategic decisions. Establishing a maturity baseline that teams can measure against is what allows them to make a data-backed case for budget and build the cross-functional buy-in needed to influence those strategic decisions. The CTI Maturity Pulse Check distills each of the 11 CTI-CMM domains into a single representative question with answers mapped to the model’s maturity scale. In just 10–15 minutes, cybersecurity professionals can identify domains that warrant closer examination to mature their operation and prepare for a more thorough assessment using the official CTI-CMM self-assessment tool. The CTI Maturity Pulse Check is designed for practitioners, program leaders and security executives. It provides a final evaluation that includes the highest priority gaps and five next steps to uplevel maturity – created to be readable at each level. After completing the survey, users will receiv...
