The document discusses threat intelligence, threat assessment, and threat modeling. Threat intelligence involves gathering and analyzing current and emerging threats to an organization. Threat assessment analyzes, evaluates, and prioritizes potential risks and vulnerabilities. Threat modeling proactively identifies, analyzes, and mitigates risks during system design. Each has a different focus, purpose, data sources, frequency, outputs, and benefits.
