👋 The CTI Community has been rebuilt — come check it out!

Over the past several days, we’ve been working on a major cleanup and reorganization of the server with one goal: make this a more useful, active, and engaging place for the cyber threat intelligence community.

Rather than adding more channels, we’ve streamlined the server around the things that actually matter:

🎯 Threat Intelligence

• threat-desk — discuss current threats, campaigns, actors, vulnerabilities, malware, and notable reporting

• intel-requests — ask the community for help with specific intelligence or research questions

• analyst-workbench — CTI tradecraft, OSINT, detection, tooling, malware analysis, automation, and methodology

• research-showcase — share research, detections, tools, datasets, presentations, and projects you’ve created

🎓 Careers & Learning

• Career discussion
• Job opportunities
• Learning, mentorship, certifications, resumes, portfolios, and professional development

🤝 Networking & Social

• Conferences and meetups
• Community projects and collaboration
• A dedicated Vendor Corner for transparent product/vendor discussion

📰 Intel Feeds
We’re also rebuilding our automated intelligence feeds with a much more focused structure covering threat research, security news, vulnerabilities, operational intelligence, ransomware activity, and CTI resources.

🛡️ Safety & Moderation
We’ve strengthened our rules, moderation processes, vendor/recruiter guidelines, job-posting standards, and member-safety protections. Keeping this a professional and trustworthy community is a top priority.

The most important part, though, is all of you.

We’re approaching 1,000 members, and there is an enormous amount of experience and knowledge represented here. Whether you’re an experienced CTI analyst, work in SOC/DFIR, detection, malware research, OSINT, are just getting into threat intelligence, or simply want to learn — jump back in.

👉 Introduce yourself.
👉 Start or join a discussion in #threat-desk.
👉 Ask a question.
👉 Share something you’re researching.
👉 Help another member with an intel request.

You can also visit Channels & Roles to customize which areas, feeds, and notifications you want to see.

This is still a community built for CTI practitioners and by CTI practitioners. We’re excited to see what we can turn it into together.

Welcome back. 🛰️

2026-04-01 | CTI Community Announcement

When I started this project, it was intended to be a morning newspaper of sorts, helping me get a jump on my day with current news and events in the industry. I opened the server, and it quickly grew to our near-800-member count. The community has since evolved a bit with the deep organization of our Feeds category and even the custom#rware-victims channel by a member of our community.

Now, as the community continues to grow and the industry evolves, we are looking to expand it even further. We would like to open the floor up for discussion and get feedback, as well as suggestions on how we could further improve this server.

💡 Suggestions & Forum Guidelines

Welcome! We value your input to help make this the best CTI community on Discord. To ensure your idea is seen and understood, please follow these guidelines when creating a post. Please post your suggestions and feedback to #channel and utilize the Suggestion tag. We value all posts and would love to capitalize on everything, but as we must prioritize what is most popular, we will review the posts with the most reactions first.

📝 Post Format

Please use the following structure for your suggestion:

• Summary: A clear, one-sentence description of the idea.
• The "Why": What problem does this solve? How does it benefit the CTI community?
• Implementation Idea: Any thoughts on how we could actually do it? (e.g., specific bots, webhooks, or role changes).

🔍 Search First

Before posting, please use the search bar at the top of this forum. If someone has already suggested your idea, give it an upvote or add a comment to that existing thread instead of making a new one.

✅ What We’re Looking For

Intelligence Feeds: New RSS sources, OSINT tools, or ransomware leak trackers.

• Structural Changes: Ideas for new specialized sub-channels (e.g., #mobile-malware or #apt-tracking).
• Automation: Suggestions for Discord bots that could help with IOC enrichment or alert filtering.
• Community Events: Ideas for CTFs, guest speakers, or research paper deep-dives.

❌ What to Avoid

Support Tickets: If you have a personal issue or need help with a role, please use open-ticket.

• Vague Requests: "Make the server better" isn't actionable. Be specific!
• Harassment: Keep all suggestions professional and constructive.
