Operational Intelligence

Definitions

1. The real-time use of operational data, telemetry, and context to improve decisions about system health, risk, and response. In security settings, operational intelligence combines signals from infrastructure, identity, and user activity so teams can prioritize incidents faster and with more context.

   In plain English: Using live operational data to make better decisions about systems and security.

   Example: "The SOC dashboard added operational intelligence by correlating service degradation with suspicious admin activity and firewall changes."
