Seeking Insights: Where Do Cyber Security Professionals Keep Their Information Fresh?

As a burgeoning cyber security professional, I’m eager to connect with others in the field and discuss best practices for staying informed. While my background includes a year of full-time experience in security—following a stint as a system administrator—I’m on the lookout for trustworthy resources that can help enhance my understanding of external threats and defenses.

For those of you working in Security Operations Centers (SOCs) or similar environments, how do you keep your pulse on the latest developments in the cyber landscape? I’m particularly interested in resources that provide real-time updates on emerging threats, rather than internal detection systems that we may already have in place.

Currently, I rely on platforms like Security Wizardry’s Threat Radar and Talos Intelligence to gather intelligence, but I’m on the hunt for more websites and feeds that offer insightful, timely updates.

What are the go-to resources that veteran professionals like you utilize? Whether it’s specific websites, forums, newsletters, or social media channels, your recommendations will be invaluable as I strive to bolster my skill set and enhance the security measures of the companies and clients I work with.
