PARIS/SEATTLE — In an era characterized by an unfathomable deluge of cyber risk data, a staggering paradox has emerged: organizations are inundated with threat intelligence, yet remain profoundly impotent in their capacity to prioritize it effectively www.helpnetsecurity.com .
The latest State of Threat Management report, disseminated by Filigran on July 3, 2026, illuminates a dire reality where security teams operate across a fragmented myriad of disconnected tools, leaving pivotal context dispersed across multiple frameworks www.helpnetsecurity.com .
The Conundrum of Visibility
While cloud infrastructure, on-premises environments, third-party services, vulnerability scanners, threat intelligence feeds, and attack surface management platforms all generate copious information about potential risk, the synthesis of this data remains elusive www.helpnetsecurity.com .
The report uncovers that a staggering 93% of organizations encounter impediments in maintaining an accurate and up-to-date view of their attack surface www.helpnetsecurity.com . Furthermore, a mere 41% have achieved a consolidated view of their cyber risk exposure www.helpnetsecurity.com .
Organizations are drowning in threat data from dozens of feeds and tools. Without continuous validation and intelligent prioritization, that data creates noise rather than clarity. Closing the exposure gap requires connecting threat intelligence directly to exposure validation and risk reduction in a continuous workflow.

The Proliferation of Threat Intelligence
Threat intelligence has witnessed ubiquitous adoption across security operations centers (SOCs). An astonishing 99% of organizations utilize it within the SOC, although a mere 45% report that it is integrated and operationalized www.helpnetsecurity.com .
On average, organizations consume an average of 14 threat intelligence feeds, including nine open-source feeds www.helpnetsecurity.com . However, managing information from these multifarious sources remains a manual endeavor for many organizations www.helpnetsecurity.com .
The Costly Toll of Inaction
Visibility alone does not assist organizations in deciding which risks require immediate attention. Attacks frequently exploit risks that are already known and have not been prioritized, and a staggering 97% of organizations report difficulties determining whether exposures are exploitable www.helpnetsecurity.com .
Consequently, analysts expend considerable time investigating risks that later prove to be low priority or not exploitable. On average, these investigations account for 42% of the working week, or about 17 hours per analyst www.helpnetsecurity.com .
As the cyber threat landscape continues to evolve with unprecedented velocity, the imperative to transition from passive data collection to proactive, intelligent prioritization has never been more critical.
