People who are pursuing CompTIA’s CySA+ certification are stuck with a bit of a decision right now. Do they study for v3 and take the test earlier? Or do they wait until v4 is (probably) released this June?

Over the years, I’ve noticed that having standard operating procedures (SOPs) consistently makes things go better. Writing them isn’t the most exciting part of security, but if done well they continue to pay off over time.

Let’s consider the use of SOPs in threat hunting.

I’m always on the lookout for good reports or articles about intrusions to evaluate defenses.

They can be extremely useful in overlaying what adversaries are doing to a network.

@SAINTCON Great. Thank you.

@McGrewSecurity I've enjoyed watching a number of Matt's videos. The Abandoned Mansion series was a lot of fun. This wouldn't be a fun position to be in.

I’ve told myself for years that I’m not an ideas guy.

This is really frustrating when I try to figure out a topic for a presentation at security conferences. It takes hours just come up with an idea.

Last week I stumbled into a way to find topics in just a few minutes.

The lesson to me is that writing consistently creates a bank of thoughts and ideas to tap on demand.

Huh. What do you know…

Threat hunting is challenging to take on when you are the only security person, but it can be done. It takes some heavy lifting in the beginning, then you are able to put it to work and make improvements over time.
