Their main role is to provide actionable intelligence by identifying patterns, threats, or relevant insights that can support security operations, investigations, or business decisions.

This collaboration often involves regular briefings, joint investigations, and contributing to incident response efforts. Effective communication and coordination are key, as analysts must translate complex findings into actionable insights for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
