NIST SP 800-172 3.11.1e: Threat-Aware Risk Assessment

Employ threat intelligence, at a minimum from open or commercial sources and any DoD-provided sources, as part of a risk assessment to guide and inform the development of organizational systems, security architectures, selection of security solutions, monitoring, threat hunting, and response and recovery activities.
