MANAMA: CTM360, a Bahrain-based preemptive cybersecurity technology company, announced the launch of its Next-Generation Cyber Threat Intelligence (Next-Gen CTI) Platform, introducing a new approach to understanding cyber threats beyond traditional Indicators of Compromise (IoCs). The announcement was made at the fourth edition of Gateway Gulf, held on 1–2 November 2026 at the Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay. Hosted by the Bahrain Economic Development Board (Bahrain EDB), the forum convenes under the theme “Reimagining Global Partnerships, Powering Sustainable Growth”.

Traditional Threat intelligence often shows what is happening elsewhere, but security teams still have to work out what it means for their own organization.

CTM360’s Next-Gen CTI Platform aims to change this by connecting global threat reporting, security advisories, vulnerabilities and emerging threat activity into unified intelligence stories, helping security teams follow a threat as it develops and understand how it could affect their organization.

Built around an organization’s Digital Asset Register, the Next-Gen CTI approach introduces three intelligence layers: indicators of Exposure (IoEs): What is exposed across your digital footprint; indicators of Warning (IoWs): What emerging threats are relevant to your organization; indicators of Attack (IoAs) and what malicious activity is targeting your organization right now.

“IoCs are about someone else, somewhere else. IoEs, IoWs and IoAs are about YOU and NOW,” said Mirza Asrar Baig, Founder and CEO of CTM360.

The platform brings connected threat stories together with CTM360’s capabilities helping organisations understand their external exposure and protect their digital presence against emerging threats.

At Gateway Gulf 2026, CTM360 officially introduced the Next-Gen CTI Platform to cybersecurity leaders and industry professionals, demonstrating its approach to making threat intelligence focus on what matters and what teams can do about it.
