Objective. Cyber threat intelligence (CTI), which focuses on gathering, analyzing, and sharing data on new threats and adversaries, has become a crucial area of cybersecurity. Understanding the academic and practical environment of CTI is essential given the growing relevance of proactive defense measures and the developing cyber threats. A thorough bibliometric examination of the CTI literature from its inception, encompassing articles from 2012 through 2023, is presented in this paper. Design/Methodology/Approach. Using a collection of over 611 scholarly publications from the Scopus database, we aim to monitor this developing subject's growth, trends, and research tendencies. Authors, groups, and countries are identified as significant contributors to CTI research in our analysis, along with recurring themes and topics that have influenced the discourse over time. Results/Discusion. Key findings indicate a significant rise in CTI publications following 2012, with a clear shift from theoretical discussions to practical applications and real-world case studies. Collaboration networks among researchers and institutions highlight the interdisciplinary nature of CTI, drawing expertise from fields such as computer science, information security, and international relations. The study also identifies emerging areas of interest, including the integration of artificial intelligence in CTI and the challenges of threat intelligence sharing in a globalized digital landscape. Conclusions. In conclusion, the bibliometric study underscores the dynamic and evolving nature of cyber threat intelligence, highlighting its growing significance in the fight against cyber threats. Continuous research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and innovation are vital for staying ahead of these threats and safeguarding digital assets in an increasingly interconnected world. Originality/Value. By providing a holistic overview of the CTI research landscape, this bibliometric analysis offers valuable insights for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers engaged in ongoing efforts to enhance cyber resilience and security.
