This is the Way: Beginning my Cyber Threat Intelligence Journey

January 29, 2024 /

I have gotten older, I find I’m less eager learn the depths of every technical solution, and have been searching for my happy place. Since my SANS studies, I have gravitated towards an area that is – from what I can see – fun as heck. That area? Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI). My rookie impression is that this vast world is understaffed and under-supported, and this might be because organizations are so busy looking for operators that they don’t classify this role as mission critical. Fast forward to today: I spent a good part of the day listening into the SANS CTI Conference virtually, and I took away two things. First, there are some wicked sharp folks who have a passion in this area. Second, while I am not likely to become a full-fledged CTI professional, I sure want to learn more and incorporate what I can to help organizations see CTI’s value. This post launches my cyber threat intelligence journey.

Hey folks! This may be the last one of these for a couple of weeks, because I am headed to Amsterdam for Cisco Live Europe!

January 18, 2024 /

Good morning folks! I had a great time leading a Threat Hunting Workshop at my alma mater, RIT, and meeting some awesome customers, but in my travels I gathered some updates on the threat & vuln side of things that we all should be aware of. And before we get started, I meant to spell “Weak” that way – so let’s get started!:

Power-up your security: Mapping ATT&CK’s massive ecosystem

January 14, 2024 /

If you are a security professional, MITRE’s ATT&CK is everywhere these days. Even in places it does not belong! That being said, there are a ton of tools, projects, and extensions to ATT&CK. Some are fundamental (like Navigator) while others are niche. How do we tell what is right for us? What projects are essential to power up your security program? For my upcoming Cisco Live presentation in February, I take a crack at mapping ATT&CK’s massive ecosystem to roles and functions. Am I off to a good start? Let’s me share how I tackled this and you can let me know!

Cisco Talos and Avast teamed up with Dutch authorities to take down the Babuk Torilla ransomware strain’s key folks, and they have also worked together to provide a decryptor for potential victims.
