Member Organizations should implement relevant decisions and actions based on the intelligence produced to help build the resilience of the financial sector in the KSA. Member Organizations should take into consideration what actions are necessary, who is going to take these actions, and the response timeframe for anticipating or responding to an attack. Based on threat Intelligence produced, Member Organizations should take relevant mitigation actions or measures to improve defense infrastructure and resilience based on their knowledge of relevant threats (e.g. knowing techniques adopted by threat actors on a network could help Member Organizations to prioritize mitigation controls).

The Member Organization's threat intelligence team should share relevant intelligence with other relevant departments such as the Security Operations Center (SOC), IT, etc. sharing of such information should be done as per "Principle 8: Share Intelligence". These departments should also share information deemed relevant to the CTI capability as to feed and complement threat intelligence assessments.
