Huge thanks to @vertexproject.bsky.social for updating Synapse to support the new "relationship" context. We’re excited to see this research foster collaboration and push real change across the threat intelligence community. (3/3)

In blog 2, we dive into the challenges of investigating compartmentalized campaigns. We share our approach to identifying them and propose an extended Diamond Model with a new "relationship" layer to close the analytical gaps. (2/3) blog.talosintelligence.com/compartmenta...

📡 New blogs out: Compartmentalized attacks are no longer limited to financially motivated actors, state-sponsored groups are adopting them too. We propose a new taxonomy for initial access groups to reflect broader motivations and affiliations. (1/3)

In addition, we have also published a blog proposing an extension to the Diamond Model to support more accurate and comprehensive threat modeling support for compartmentalized intrusion sets. Check it out too! blog.talosintelligence.com/compartmenta...

Excited to announce that Asheer Malhotra, @ashl3y-shen.bsky.social, @vventura.bsky.social and I just published a new blog on how initial access groups are changing and propose a new taxonomy to support the latest threats that we are seeing. Check it out! blog.talosintelligence.com/redefining-i...
