Your Monday Menu - 2/11/20

Did you know how much great information is available free from Unit 42? The Palo Alto Networks Threat Research team publish threat intelligence, Courses of Action (CoAs) and the Tactics Techniques and Procedures used in each attack campaign they research. These are delivered in the form of ATOMs (Actionable Threat Objects & Mitigations) using STIX (Structured Threat Information eXpression, a structured language for sharing threat intelligence data). You can sign up for an account and API key here.

If you are a security nerd and interested in data visualisation, a colleague pointed me to a useful website. Hackmageddon keeps a record of publicly disclosed breaches and their costs in a timeline. In a similar vein is this data graphing enterprise.

This week I offer a diet menu. In the week leading up to “you-know-what” there doesn’t appear to be any significant or interesting cyber news. At least that I noticed.
