  • Challenge.

    The department supports more than 80,000 users and operates in a complex threat environment that includes nation-state actors, supply chain dependencies, and insider risk. Its CTI team was responsible for monitoring and reporting across multiple risk areas, while responding to growing demand from internal teams.

    Key intelligence activities were fragmented. Supply chain monitoring relied on hundreds of Google Alerts each month, all requiring manual triage. Different teams needed intelligence on suppliers, vulnerabilities, leaked credentials, and geopolitical threats, but there was no shared workflow or consistent approach.

    Reporting was also time-intensive. Producing regular CTI updates took up to 15 hours per week, limiting the team’s capacity for deeper analysis and forward-looking work.

  • Solution.

    The department deployed Silobreaker to unify supply chain, nation-state, vulnerability, and credential intelligence in a single workflow. With support from Silobreaker’s Customer Success team, dashboards and automated processes were tailored to internal priorities, giving teams a shared foundation for analysis and reporting.

    Supply chain and nation-state intelligence are centralized through custom dashboards that support cross-department reporting and reduce manual effort, freeing analysts to focus on higher-value work.

    Automated alerts surface credential exposure and high-severity vulnerabilities, routing intelligence to the right teams and integrating with existing threat intelligence systems. Silobreaker AI supports daily article summarization and CTI blog creation, accelerating content production without compromising quality.

Outcome.

With Silobreaker, the department has significantly improved efficiency and reach:

  • CTI reporting time was reduced by over 90%, freeing analysts to focus on higher-value work
  • Major reduction in manual supply chain monitoring effort
  • Faster delivery of decision-grade intelligence to supplier assurance, cloud, identity, and vulnerability teams
  • Higher-quality internal reporting, now widely consumed across the organization
  • Growing adoption, with additional teams requesting dashboards and intelligence support

By consolidating intelligence workflows and reducing noise, the CTI team delivers clearer insight to support decision-making across a complex public sector environment.

“Silobreaker has made a huge difference – both in time saved and in the quality of our reporting. We’ve gone from 15 hours a week writing updates to about one hour, and the intelligence we share is more relevant, timely and widely used.”
