Seeking Insight: How Cybersecurity Professionals Stay Updated on Threat Intelligence

Greetings to all cybersecurity enthusiasts!

As we navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of cybersecurity, staying informed about the latest threats and trends is crucial. While this question may resonate particularly with those working in Security Operations Centers (SOCs), I believe it holds value for anyone in our field. How do you gather timely information that helps you fortify your organization’s defenses or safeguard your clients?

My focus is not on the internal protective measures you might have in place but rather on the external resources that keep you in the know. What are the go-to websites or platforms that you consistently check or keep open in the background to ensure you are well-aware of emerging threats?

Having transitioned into full-time security work just over a year ago—after years as a systems administrator—I’m keen to enrich my daily routine with reputable sources of information. Currently, I rely on resources like Security Wizardry’s radar and Talos Intelligence for my updates. However, I’m eager to learn from the seasoned professionals in our community: what sites or feeds do you find indispensable in your daily monitoring for cybersecurity threats?

Your insights could greatly enhance not only my knowledge but also benefit many others in our community striving to stay ahead in this dynamic field. Thank you in advance for sharing your valuable resources!
