The Missing Link team enjoyed some fun and friendly competition recently when they took part in the Alert Triage Workshop organised by our new partner, Recorded Future. Recorded Future shares our passion to arm businesses with the resources to proactively defend against cyberattacks.
Their platform is one of the world's most advanced security intelligence solutions, as it cuts through the noise and delivers insights unique to your business and industry. They provide automated, real-time threat intelligence with context for better and faster detection and investigations.
What this means is you can boost your threat intelligence feeds by integrating the platform from Recorded Future into your existing security stack.
We all know the risks associated with cyber threats and attacks. Security teams work tirelessly to monitor and triage a never-ending stream of events and alarms which can lead to alert fatigue. This can leave organisations vulnerable in their defence against an adversary.
Your analysts need a platform that is easy to use and adaptable to your business needs.
Recorded Future has developed a platform that ticks those boxes! They automate real-time intelligence from an unrivalled breadth of external sources. The platform centralises external intelligence feeds and enriches your internal threat analysis, quickly enabling you to defend your organisation against cyberattacks.
"The Recorded Future's Threat Intel Platform was easy to use and provided granular searches" said Vivek, Senior Security Analyst with The Missing Link. "It can provide a search result in the form of cards and give an overview or key indicators of the threat actors along with references from feeds that it sources the data from."
The stakes were high – pride, honour, and some cool gift cards!
Because having fun at work is part of our values at The Missing Link, when the opportunity arose to enter a challenge that would sharpen our skills, and maybe even earn some bragging rights, we had to go for it!
It was rather thrilling to test out the full capabilities of Recorded Future's threat intel platform in the real-time, hands-on capture the flag (CTF) experience.
The Missing Link team had the opportunity to:
So how did our team perform in the workshop?
Senior Security Analyst, Vivek, says, "I took a few minutes to browse through the portal and get a feel of the site when the CTF event began. The searches were easy, but we just had to keep an eye on the specific indicators mentioned in the questions."
Rory, who is also one of our Senior Security Analysts enjoyed playing the "game" too and explains how he went on to finish in the top 10: "At the beginning I found myself very far down in the placings, spending too much time on specific indicators being a first-time user. After a while, I started to move on from specific indicators I was stuck on, moving onto those I knew I could obtain. I found after gathering the Intel, my navigation of the platform became better, allowing me to then go back and easily get the intelligence I was stuck on previously."
And yes, you guessed it! All participants from The Missing Link team finished in the top 10! They returned to work with a spring in their step and some good-natured bragging!
