In the contemporary digital landscape, organizations face an escalating tide of sophisticated cyber threats. Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) has emerged as a critical discipline to understand, predict, and counteract these adversarial activities. However, many organizations struggle to effectively operationalize CTI, often due to a lack of structured methodologies for program establishment. This article proposes a comprehensive framework designed to guide organizations through the systematic development and implementation of a CTI program. Drawing upon existing research and industry insights, the framework addresses key phases from requirements definition to continuous improvement, aiming to bridge the gap between theoretical CTI benefits and practical organizational integration. The discussion highlights the framework's advantages in enhancing proactive defense, adversary understanding, and overall security posture, while also acknowledging implementation challenges and future research avenues.
