However, intelligence alone doesn't guarantee action or
success. It takes someone with knowledge
and experience to interpret these insights within a specific context, align
them with goals, and uncover actionable strategies to address potential risks or
opportunities. This process enables smarter decisions and often provides a
competitive edge advantage.
In this case, the person dismissing threat intelligence as "worthless"
failed to understand how to use it. Intelligence reports don't necessarily dictate
actions -- they empower decision-makers with the information they need to act. The
value lies not in the report itself, but in the expertise to leverage it.
