That’s why for CISOs, it’s key to prioritize decisions that reduce dwell time and protect their company from risk. \\n\\nThree strategic steps you can take this year for better results:\\n\\n## 1\\\\. Focus on today’s actual business security risks\\n\\nAny efficient SOC is powered by relevant data. That’s what makes targeted, prioritized action against threats possible. Public or low-quality feeds may have been sufficient in the past, but in 2026, threat actors are more funded, coordinated, and dangerous than ever. Accurate and timely information is a deciding factor when counteracting them.\\n\\nIt’s the lack of relevant data that doesn’t allow SOCs to maintain focus on the real risks relevant here and now. Only continuously refreshed feeds sourced from active threat investigations can enable smart, proactive action.\\n\\nSTIX\/TAXII-compatible Threat Intelligence Feeds by ANY.RUN allows security teams to focus on threats targeting organizations today. Sourced from the latest manual investigations of malware and phishing done by 15K SOC teams \u0438 600K analysts, this solution provides:\\n\\n * **Early threat detection:** fresh, extensive data expands threat coverage for attack prevention.\\n * **Mitigated risk of incidents:** being informed about the most relevant malicious indicators minimizes the chance of incidents.\\n * **Stability in operations:** destructive downtime is prevented, ensuring the company’s sustainability.\\n\\n \\n— \\nTI Feeds deliver quantifiable results across SOC processes \\n \\nBy delivering relevant intel to your SIEM, EDR\\\\XDR, TIP, or NDR, TI Feeds expand threat coverage and offer actionable insights on attacks that have just happened to companies like yours.\\n\\n**Result:** Up to 58% more threats detected for a reduced chance of business disruption.\\n\\n**TI Feeds drive early threat detection**\\n\\n**Expand coverage and identify up to 58% more threats in real time**\\n\\n**Integrate TI Feeds**\\n\\n## 2\\\\. Shield analysts from false positives\\n\\nAs a CISO, one of the most effective things you can do to mitigate burnout and improve SOC performance has more to do with analysts’ daily operations rather than overall management.\\n\\nAnalysts show better results when they can stay focused on real threats and actually do the job that matters. But false positives, duplicates, and other noise in threat data drain them. It slows down response and increases the risk of missed incidents.\\n\\nUnlike other feeds with largely outdated and unfiltered indicators, ANY.RUN’s TI Feeds deliver verified intel with near-zero false positive rates and real-time updates. IPs, domains, and hashes are validated and 99% unique.\\n\\n \\n— \\nTI Feeds promote early detection with fresh indicators available via API\/SDK and STIX\/TAXII integrations \\n \\nIntegrating TI Feeds into your stacks means:\\n\\n * Taking resource-efficient action against threats for breach mitigation\\n * Avoiding workflow disruptions and costly escalations\\n * Achieving better SOC team performance, morale, and impact\\n\\n\\n\\n**Result:** Higher productivity across SOC analyst Tiers with 30% fewer Tier 1 to Tier 2 escalations.\\n\\n**Protect your brand by mitigating downtime risk in 2026**\\n\\n**Request access to TI Feeds**\\n\\n## 3\\\\. Shorten the gap between knowing and doing\\n\\nMature SOCs move from detection to response fast. This requires **context** : something that’s missing from ordinary threat intelligence. Without sufficient insights into malicious behavior, the investigation across multiple resources takes too much time and energy, heightening the chance of operational downtime.\\n\\n \\n— \\nHow TI Feeds benefit SOCs across tiers \\n \\nTI Feeds address the gap between alert and action. With behavioral context sourced from real sandbox analyses done globally by 15K+ security teams, it shortens MTTD \\u0026 MTTR, helping businesses:\\n\\n * **Reduce breach impact at scale** by enriching indicators with real-world attacker behavior from active campaigns.\\n * **Prevent incident escalation** caused by uncertainty and slow validation during early investigation stages.\\n * **Maintain operational continuity** by accelerating investigations before attacks affect core business processes.\\n\\n\\n\\n**Result:** 21 min faster Mean Time to Respond and lower incident response costs.\\n\\n## Conclusion\\n\\nPrioritizing relevant threat intelligence, filling operational gaps, and improving the entire workflow from triage to response directly impacts performance rates across SOCs. For CISOs, this translated into a clear priority: take targeted action to reduce dwell time by empowering analysts with actionable, relevant, and unique threat intelligence feeds, enabling fast and confident decision-making.\\n\\n**Prioritize actionable threat intelligence**\\n\\n**Enable faster response and reduce MTTR by 21 minutes**\\n\\n**Reach out for full access**\\n\\nFound this article interesting?
