That&#8217;s why for CISOs, it&#8217;s key to prioritize decisions that reduce dwell time and protect their company from risk. <\/p>\n<p>Three strategic steps you can take this year for better results:<\/p>\n<h2>1. Focus on today&#8217;s actual business security risks<\/h2>\n<p>Any efficient SOC is powered by relevant data. That&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the lack of relevant data that doesn&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>STIX\/TAXII-compatible Threat Intelligence Feeds by ANY.RUN allows security teams to focus on threats targeting organizations today.
