Staying ahead of the constant flow of intelligence data isn’t about collecting more, it’s about connecting the right signals faster. Ryann Hallback (reign) shows how analysts cut through noise, link critical data, and move investigations forward with confidence. www.youtube.com/watch?v=84oG...

So fortunate to work for a great company and a team of absolute rockstars (and genuinely good people). 💚 @vertexproject.bsky.social

@vertexproject.bsky.social's "Operation Deepfake" insider threat challenge is now live (for real)! We made a few revisions based on feedback from CYBERWARCON, and it's been Ron tested and approved. ✅ Use the link below to try it for yourself!

I cannot fathom the arrogance of someone who thinks they're worth one trillion dollars.

Can't decide which I'm more excited about - challenge coins or snacks? (I mean I'm MOST excited about the Challenge, but...) 🤔

Trying to tempt you with a good time... 🍪🪙💚

Not quite, but *almost* better than chocolate. Happy Halloween! 🎃🍫

Happy National Black Cat Day to those who celebrate.

You know things are utterly FUBAR in the US when @bellingcat.com is doing satellite imagery analysis of the White House.

Analysts, take note: Censys just leveled up in proactive threat hunting. We’ve updated our Synapse @censys.bsky.social Power-Up to match—bringing faster discovery, richer context & repeatable enrichment. Try it: vertex.link/request-a-demo

Home is where they get you. 💚 Come join us!

Very excited to welcome Dylan to the team! 💚

IT'S ON! 💚

Had a great experience at #LABScon2025 - the @sentinelone.com team worked incredibly hard and pulled off an amazing event for all!

It's on!!

I had a great time creating this workshop for @pivotcon.bsky.social . Definitely eye-opening to deep dive into what "everyone" says about a threat group and how vastly different reporting on "the same" group can be in practice. 😱 Check it out for yourself!

These were good times. 😁💚

We're being trolled, right? "By choosing...'Curly COMrades,' we aim to de-glamorize cybercrime...They are not 'fancy bears' or 'wizard spiders'; they are simply malicious actors...We hope this...sparks a...conversation...encouraging a shift towards more practical and less sensational designations."

What you missed while in Vegas last week: @vertexproject.bsky.social published my second #threatintel blog untangling threat actor targeting and motivation: vertex.link/blogs/tactic...

In case you missed it...check out my blog on the critical relationship between your tactical and strategic intelligence on @vertexproject.bsky.social's website. Part 2 is in our editorial pipeline and will be out soon! vertex.link/blogs/tactic...

Happy Birthday, Raven. I miss you.
