A quick monologue on global inefficiency
We need to reduce the inefficiency of each SOC analyzing and countering threats on their own with little to no efficient, actionable knowledge sharing, globally speaking
A new threat emerges. This could be new malware, new exploitation techniques, new types/classes of vulnerabilities, new cloud attack vectors, whatever it is - the new threats leave every SOC globally, and individually, struggling to understand the threat in order to mitigate and detect
This is horribly inefficient. We need something that scales better! I want point out this global inefficiency in order to explain why we need to issue a call for action.
What's being done today is that researchers are trying to document their work researching malware, or forensically following the traces of attackers in networks/clouds, or detection teams sharing detections they built to address MITRE ATT&CK techniques. But they're sharing without a standard methodology or framework or even approach, and it also does not scale very well and the shared knowledge is never incorporated into a global body of knowledge.
