Having a Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) is a good thing for the CTI team. However, this raises the follow-up question:
How do you select the best TIP for your organisation?

On 23 February 2020, greek news media reported that Greece Prime Minister’s office, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the National Intelligence Service and the Greek Police were the targets of an international cyber espionage campaign in April 2019 named Sea Turtle. This is one of the most significant cyber espionage activities against Greece that is publicly known. Sea Turtle campaign has been initially reported by Cisco Talos Intelligence Group last year.

SANS CTI Summit 2020 took place on 20 and 21 January in Washington DC and it was a blast! I enjoyed the talks, got connected with lots of people that I only knew virtually, and felt like being a part of a big CTI family.
On 30 and 31 of January, ENISA CTI-EU 2020 took place in Brussels. The conference was a splendid CTI bonding event bringing together 20 speakers, 160 participants and 9 vendors of CTI products.
ENISA did a great job to bring together all the above stakeholders and build an environment for connecting and exchanging ideas regarding CTI (especially within European context). Such an event is much needed within Europe since there are not a lot of opportunities to connect CTI peers from the industry with people from the public sector and from the European Commission.
Moreover, the content of the presentations was of high quality (see agenda here). Continue reading “ENISA CTI-EU 2020 Recap”

On 17 September 2019, I participated in ENISA’s NIS Summer School 2019 that took place in Heraklion, Greece. The Summer School had 4 parallel training sessions (CTI, CyberDefence, Incident Response and Crypto) and the participants were mostly graduate students as well as infosec professionals.
I joined the CTI training sessions as an instructor for “Intelligence Requirements” as well as “CTI Reporting”. In this post, I will focus mostly on the session that was about Intelligence Requirements. Intelligence requirements is something that is very close to my heart and it was my pleasure to present this concept to the students of the summer school.
