Intel 471 Launches Free CTI Maturity Assessment Tool

Event summary

Intel 471 introduced a free Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) Maturity Pulse Check on June 10, 2026.
The tool is a lightweight self-assessment based on the CTI-CMM v1.3 framework.
The assessment takes 10–15 minutes and evaluates 11 CTI-CMM domains.
43% of CTI programs do not track maturity over time, per the 2026 SANS survey.
Only 26% of CISOs believe CTI drives strategic decisions.

The big picture

Intel 471's free CTI Maturity Pulse Check addresses a critical gap in the cybersecurity landscape, where many organizations lack structured CTI program evaluations. The tool aligns with the growing need for data-driven security strategies amid evolving cyber and AI-driven threats. The launch underscores the importance of measurable maturity in CTI programs to secure budget and executive buy-in.
