Overwatch: Where is Threat Intelligence Going in 2025?

You know how every time Zara and our team predict what’s coming next year, the tech world somehow shifts into overdrive? That’s exactly why Overwatch is poised to shake things up in threat intelligence: old-school keyword monitoring just can’t keep pace with AI-driven attackers who move at lightning speed.

Key Trends on Our Radar

• Threat Intel for All: Thanks to AI, threat intelligence is about to get way more accessible. Teams can rely on automation to filter the noise, so security pros can focus on real threats—not endless data crunching.

• Intel’s Getting Broader: We’re not just pulling from logs or domains anymore. Everything from sign-in pages to user sessions—even the deep, dark, and social web—is fair game. The end goal? A neat, prioritized list of what genuinely matters.

• Threat Hunting Should Improve: AI agents will help hunters and black hat hackers probe their systems more effectively. However, software might not be our biggest weakness.

• Trust Is Getting Harder: Social engineering is everywhere, meaning even savvy users can slip up. Relying on one security checkpoint won’t cut it. Instead, ongoing user analysis and real-time session checks are fast becoming the new norm.

• Compliance Takes Center Stage: With the EU AI Act around the corner and ISO 42001 gaining traction, standards like SOC2 aren’t going to be enough. AI systems and intel processes need to be more transparent, secure, and regulation-ready than ever before.

To tackle these challenges, threat intelligence platforms ramp up their machine learning capabilities, crunch data from multiple sources, and translate insights directly into SecOps actions. In a world where attackers use AI, there’s no time to waste on noisy alerts and slow response times.

At Overwatch, we deliver solutions that detect threats, adapt to new attack tactics, and respond in real time. Ready to level up your threat intelligence for 2025?
