Connecting Threat Intelligence to Decision-Making: How Flashpoint Is Operationalizing Intelligence in 2026

Flashpoint announced new capabilities at RSA Conference 2026 designed to operationalize threat intelligence by connecting adversary activity to business priorities. The update addresses the challenge of security teams drowning in data without clear actionable context. Key features include Threat-informed External Attack Surface Management (EASM), Business-Aligned Priority Intelligence Requirements (PIRs), and a Managed Attribution browser for safe investigations. These tools aim to transform passive monitoring into intelligence-driven action, allowing organizations to prioritize vulnerabilities based on real-world attacker behavior rather than static scores. By mapping live asset inventories to vulnerability intelligence, Flashpoint enables defenders to make defensible decisions on risk reduction. This shift moves security operations from reactive patching to proactive risk management, ensuring resources are allocated to exposures that genuinely matter to the business context.

At RSA Conference 2026, Flashpoint introduces new capabilities that enable security teams to move from visibility to defensible action by connecting adversary activity to business priorities, assets, and investigations.

In practice, this creates a familiar problem. They can see what vulnerabilities exist. They can track threat activity. They can monitor alerts across their environment. But the questions they struggle to answer are more important: Which of these exposures actually matter? What do we fix first — and why? How does this activity translate to risk for the business? As a result, teams fall back on patching cycles, compliance requirements, or best-effort prioritization and are left making decisions based on incomplete context. This gap between data and decision-making has become one of the most persistent challenges in modern security operations. At RSA Conference 2026, Flashpoint is sharing how we are addressing this gap directly — connecting adversary activity to assets, investigations, and defined business priorities so teams can make more consistent, defensible decisions. “The industry has reached a tipping point where security teams are drowning in data that fails to align with their most important business requirements and decisions. Visibility alone is no longer a victory; it’s a baseline. By connecting underground adversary activity to an organization’s specific attack surface and strategic requirements, Flashpoint is raising the bar beyond passive observation. We are enabling defenders to stop asking ‘what do we own’ and start answering ‘what do we fix first, and why,’ turning raw data into an engine for risk reduction at speed.” Josh Lefkowitz What Flashpoint is Showcasing at RSA Conference 2026 Flashpoint is introducing a set of capabilities designed to connect threat intelligence directly to business risk, assets, and investigations: Threat-informed External Attack Surface Management (EASM) Business-Aligned Priority Intelligence Requirements (PIRs) Managed Attribution browser for anonymous investigations Together, these capabilities enable organizations to move beyond passive monitoring and toward intelligence-driven action. What Is Threat-Informed External Attack Surface Management (EASM) Most organizations maintain an inventory of their external assets, but prioritizing them is a persistent challenge. Traditional EASM tools identify what you own but often fail to answer the critical “so what?”. Without contextual risk, prioritization is often driven by static severity scores, patch cycles, or compliance requirements rather than real-world attacker behavior. As a result, teams are left managing stale data through manual CSV uploads and struggling to determine which exposures actually matter. Flashpoint’s EASM module transforms this stream of exposure data into a prioritized action plan. It continuously discovers a customer’s external attack surface,...
