Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) is a vital component of cybersecurity that provides insights into the motives, methods, and capabilities of cyber adversaries. CTI can help organizations prevent, detect, and respond to cyberattacks, as well as improve their risk management and decision-making processes. However, CTI activities can also face various challenges, such as data overload, quality issues, and sharing difficulties. This paper aims to present an overview of the concept of CTI and its methodology, its uses and applications inside an organization, as well as some of the most popular open-source platforms and tools that support CTI activities. It also discusses some of the current and emerging issues and challenges in the CTI domain and presents possible solutions and best practices to address them .
