Discovering Essential Cyber Security Information Sources

Welcome, cyber security enthusiasts!

As professionals in the field, staying updated on the latest threats and security developments is crucial for enhancing our defenses, whether for our organizations or our clients. While there are many tools available for internal threat detection, I’m particularly interested in the resources we rely on for external threat intelligence.

For those of you in Security Operations Centers (SOC) or anyone else deeply involved in cyber security, where do you turn for your daily dose of up-to-the-minute information? What websites do you keep open as you navigate your day, ensuring you don’t miss critical updates on emerging threats and vulnerabilities?

Having transitioned to a full-time role in Security after a background in systems administration, I’m seeking recommendations for reliable sources to track. I typically monitor Security Wizardry and Talos Intelligence, which offer valuable insights, but I would love to hear from seasoned professionals about the platforms and feeds that they find indispensable.

Your suggestions could not only enhance my personal knowledge base but also contribute to the broader community of cyber security practitioners eager to stay ahead of cyber risks. Let’s collaborate to share our go-to information sources for ongoing education and vigilance in this rapidly evolving field!
