Turning intelligence into operational advantage.
Alt Funktion was founded by Jennifer Funk, a Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) professional dedicated to helping others navigate and excel in the evolving world of threat intelligence.
Alt Funktion exists to demystify CTI, breaking down complex intelligence concepts, frameworks, and workflows into approachable, real-world lessons. Through courses, content, and community, Jennifer empowers analysts, students, and defenders to think critically, analyze effectively, and translate intelligence into action.
With years of experience supporting enterprise security operations, Jennifer built Alt Funktion to bridge the gap between theory and practice. The goal isn’t just to teach CTI it’s to help others think like intelligence analysts, apply structured analytic techniques, and contribute meaningfully to their organizations’ security posture.
Alt Funktion stands for more than information sharing, it’s about developing tradecraft, sharpening analytical reasoning, and advancing the field of Cyber Threat Intelligence one learner at a time.
Why CTI?
In today’s threat environment, organizations can no longer afford a purely reactive security posture. Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) embeds proactively into strategy, delivering measurable risk reduction, operational efficiency, and alignment with business objectives.
Reduced dwell time = reduced risk exposure
One of the clearest signals of CTI effectiveness is its impact on attacker dwell time. A sustained downward trend in dwell time after CTI adoption is a compelling quantitative indicator of risk mitigation.
Efficiency gains & false positive reduction
CTI doesn’t merely improve detection — it plays into executive risk decisions, budget prioritization, competitive resilience, and brand protection.
Qualitative & strategic value beyond
“just security”
One financial institution deploying CTI via ThreatConnect estimated a 75% to 99% improvement in CTI analyst efficiency and a 50%–74% reduction in false positives from security tooling.
