WILMINGTON, DE — Intel 471 has released an updated version of its Cyber Underground General Intelligence Requirements Handbook (CU-GIRH), a key resource designed to help cybersecurity professionals prioritize, organize, and act on intelligence from the dark web and underground networks.
First introduced in 2018, the CU-GIRH has become a widely adopted framework across the cybersecurity industry, helping threat intelligence teams streamline decision-making and improve the efficiency of cyber defense operations. The latest update expands on that foundation with new methodologies, case studies, and organizational tools tailored to the evolving threat environment.
“In today’s increasingly complex and volatile cyber threat landscape, intelligence no longer merely informs decisions and actions; it is the fundamental catalyst that brings those decisions and actions into tangible reality,” said Michael DeBolt, Chief Intelligence Officer at Intel 471. “With these latest updates, the CU-GIRH continues to be an indispensable resource, enabling professionals to not only comprehend but also proactively mitigate the myriad of risks lurking within the ever-evolving cyber underground.”
The enhanced edition includes:
- New methodologies for assessing and responding to cyber threats.
- Updated case studies demonstrating real-world intelligence applications.
- Improved data organization for more efficient collection, prioritization, and dissemination of intelligence.
By structuring intelligence workflows and automating routing, the CU-GIRH helps organizations reduce noise, focus on actionable intelligence, and better measure the performance and return on investment of their cyber threat intelligence (CTI) programs.
Intel 471 also conducts quarterly Intelligence Planning Workshops, offering CTI managers hands-on training in developing collection plans that align with stakeholder needs and improve synchronization across teams, languages, and use cases.
