Our latest blog post highlights core insider threat lessons around collaboration, context, and analyst decision-making when clear red flags are absent. Find it here: vertex.link/blogs/inside...

2 weeks til our webinar with @censys.bsky.social! Attackers can rotate infrastructure faster than threat hunters can keep up. Learn how defenders can pivot from indicators to infrastructure-centric intelligence.

Insider threats won’t look like the stereotypical "hacker in a hoodie."

Operation Deepfake will challenge you to investigate an insider threat scenario using shared intel - not just indicators. Try it here: vertex.link/blogs/inside...

A bit of light-hearted fun from the latest Synapse + Optic release. The "colorize" command lets you specify runtime colors for nodes which take precedence over Workspace color configs. This hilarious example uses part of the node hash as a random color value 😂🤩🌈

How do you track DDoS infrastructure when C2 servers rarely last a day?

@vtx-savage.bsky.social and @silascutler.bsky.social are breaking down real-world DDoSia hunting using the Synapse-Censys Power-Up in our next webinar.

Why do Views and Layers matter for security teams?

Because not all collaboration should be fully visible.

They let teams:
🔹Work in parallel
🔹Restrict access to sensitive data
🔹Collaborate securely

Security frameworks fail on software supply chain risk | ReversingLabs Researchers studied how well the top frameworks mitigate modern attack techniques. They found serious security gaps.

@invisig0th.bsky.social underscores why security frameworks are a starting point, not a finish line. Strong supply-chain security is in the execution. Read more from @reversinglabs.com: www.reversinglabs.com/blog/securit...
