Hire a Threat Intelligence Specialist
Cyber Threat Intelligence gives your organisation the edge over attackers. Without insight into the threat landscape, your security operates reactively and unpredictably. MVPeople Group delivers CTI specialists who identify, analyse and translate threats into concrete security measures.
The Threat Intelligence landscape in the Netherlands
Demand for threat intelligence specialists in the Netherlands is growing strongly. The threat landscape is becoming more complex due to state-sponsored attacks, ransomware-as-a-service and supply chain attacks. Organisations need professionals who systematically map these threats and translate them into defensive measures.
The CTI domain encompasses multiple disciplines: tactical intelligence (IOCs and malware analyses), operational intelligence (attack campaigns and TTPs) and strategic intelligence (threat trends and geopolitical risks). Each discipline requires specific skills and tool expertise.
The MITRE ATT&CK framework has become the standard for classifying attack techniques. Threat intelligence platforms such as MISP, Recorded Future and ThreatConnect are used to collect, enrich and share threat information. Integration with SIEM and SOAR platforms enables automated detection and response.
MVPeople Group has a specialised network of CTI professionals with experience at government organisations, financial institutions and multinationals. We understand the specific requirements of intelligence roles and quickly make the right match.

Frequently asked questions about Threat Intelligence Recruitment
What is Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI)?
Cyber Threat Intelligence is the systematic collection, processing and analysis of information about cyber threats. The goal is to provide organisations with actionable intelligence that enables them to detect threats earlier, prioritise better and respond more effectively. CTI encompasses tactical, operational and strategic intelligence.
Why is threat intelligence important for my organisation?
Without threat intelligence, your security team operates reactively: incidents are only noticed after the damage is done. With CTI, you can defend proactively by understanding which threat actors target your sector, which techniques they use and which vulnerabilities they exploit. This enables targeted security investments.
Which threat intelligence tools are most commonly used?
Commonly used platforms in the Netherlands include MISP (open source), ThreatConnect, Anomali ThreatStream, Recorded Future and Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence. Additionally, the MITRE ATT&CK framework is the de facto standard for classifying attack techniques. MVPeople Group has specialists for all these platforms in our network.
How quickly can a threat intelligence specialist start?
We typically present suitable CTI profiles within 5 working days. Depending on availability and any screening requirements, a specialist can start at your organisation within 1 to 3 weeks. For urgent assignments, we deploy additional capacity to accelerate the process.
What is the difference between a CTI analyst and a threat hunter?
A CTI analyst primarily focuses on collecting and analysing external threat information: who are the attackers, what are their motives and which techniques do they use? A threat hunter proactively searches within the organisation's own IT environment for traces of attackers who have evaded detection. Both roles complement each other and work closely together.
What does it cost to hire a threat intelligence specialist?
Rates vary based on seniority, specialisation and type of engagement. A mid-level CTI analyst has a different rate than a senior threat intelligence lead or a specialised threat hunter. Contact MVPeople Group for a no-obligation indication based on your specific needs.
Does MVPeople also deliver threat intelligence project teams?
Absolutely. In addition to individual specialists, MVPeople Group delivers complete threat intelligence teams through our MVProjects service line. This is ideal when setting up a CTI capability, implementing a threat intelligence platform or conducting large-scale threat analyses.
