How Search Is Transforming Patient Engagement In Healthcare
In healthcare, we often talk about patient engagement as something that begins after a person schedules an appointment, logs into a portal, or interacts with a care team. But the reality is that engagement starts much earlier, at the moment a person begins looking for information. More often than not that moment starts with search.
Rental properties: owning free & clear vs. mortgage
@Chris Pace Most of the posts so far have been heavy on the disadvantages of owning outright, so I will stick with the advantages. For reference, I own 11 properties, no mortgages. 1. Closings are easier, cheaper, faster, and more under your control if you buy with cash. No bank paperwork or approvals. Inspections and appraisals are at your discretion. 2. Carrying costs during rehab and vacancies are much lower, therefore less worrisome. 3. Insurance coverage is under your control, not the bank's. 4.
Sixth Circuit Adopts New Certification Process In FLSA Collective Actions
On May 19, 2023, in Clark v. A&L Home Care and Training Center, LLC., the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit rejected the familiar two-step certification procedure in collective actions under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), instead requiring lead plaintiffs to demonstrate a "strong likelihood" that other employees they seek to represent are "similarly situated" to the original plaintiffs.

Pharma Drama: Interactive Crisis Simulation of an Insider Threat
Pharma is vulnerable. The sector, which bridges the healthcare–business divide and deals extensively with data and intellectual property (IP), is a tantalizing prospect for malicious actors. It is now one of the most targeted sectors, according to Deloitte, with over a fifth of companies suffering at least seven attacks. Perhaps the greatest threat facing the pharma industry, however, lies inside its own walls.
International Money Laundering Enforcement Will Rise—What GCs Need to Know
The next few years are expected to see a significant increase in international money laundering enforcement from a confluence of recent events. First, the new Anti-Money Laundering Act, which took effect on Jan. 1, directs additional resources to combating money laundering, expands the Department of Justice’s authority to subpoena documents from foreign banks.
The security trends shaping business in 2016
IT security – in all its forms – has been a major cause of sleepless nights amongst IT industry professionals for as long as anyone can remember. For most of that time engaging other areas of business in the potential risks associated with data loss has been an uphill struggle. That’s now changing and here’s why. In a business environment where being better connected confers many advantages, the reality of securing an IOT-enabled, fully networked world is becoming apparent.
The Real Security Benefits You Can Get From Threat Intelligence
By Chris Pace on March 13, 2018 What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of threat intelligence? Most people imagine that it’s the opportunity to “get ahead of attackers” — the idea that powerful threat intelligence will allow you to know precisely when, where, and by whom you’ll be attacked. And sure, sometimes that really is possible. Hacktivist groups occasionally publish their targets in advance, and might use a predictable set of tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).
How Relativity Integrates Threat Intelligence Throughout the Security Function
How Relativity Integrates Threat Intelligence Throughout the Security Function By The Recorded Future Team on December 11, 2018 Editor’s Note: The following blog post is a summary of a presentation from RFUN 2018 featuring Amanda Fennell (CSO), Jerry Finley (director of cybersecurity and deputy CSO), and Darian Lewis (threat intelligence lead) of Relativity. Key Takeaways Reactive analytics play an important role in security, but they have a number of serious drawbacks.
Bringing Collaboration to Real-Time Data Feeds
Recorded Future Blog Bringing Collaboration to Real-Time Data Feeds By Amanda McKeon on December 10, 2018 Our guest today is Aaron Gee-Clough. He’s chief technology officer for King & Union, a company that aims to bring increased collaboration to threat intelligence analysts, allowing them to more easily visualize and manage threat data in real time.
Why good threat intelligence is no longer limited to the security privileged
Recorded Future’s Chris Pace makes the case for threat intelligence that is accessible to infosec professionals of all levels. For many organisations, the concept of high-level threat intelligence is something achievable only by the world’s most elite security professionals – secretive governmental organisations and mega corporations with unlimited budgets.
3 Security Roles That Should Evaluate Their Threat Intelligence
Who in your organization is consuming threat intelligence? We always say here that threat intelligence must be timely and contextual for it to be useful. Understanding exactly how it’s being used in your organization, and who is getting the most out of it, is an essential part of developing effective threat intelligence.
Defining Your Cyber Battlespace With Threat Intelligence
An intelligence preparation of the battlefield (IPB) is a method for defining and understanding a specific operating environment in all battlespaces — a conceptual framework to better understand how to apply your threat intelligence. It has a been a staple tool to help military leadership make decisions, and when the same methodology is applied to the cyber realm, the benefits can be tremendous.
How a Large Airline Uses an All-in-One Solution to Better Detect Threats
When it comes to cybersecurity, airlines have a ton of information to protect — credit card numbers, names, dates of birth, passport information, flight details, and more. For this major airline, however, even more important than securing information and preventing breaches is protecting people’s lives. To track and understand potential threats, this airline employed several threat intelligence analysts, but with the amount of data they needed to research, they couldn’t risk things being missed.
Military Reaper Drone Documents Leaked on the Dark Web
Scope Note: Initial analysis into the leak of sensitive military information regarding the MQ-9 Reaper unmanned aerial vehicle was initiated as the result of analysts monitoring criminal activity on deep and dark web forums and marketplaces. Direct threat actor interaction allowed Insikt Group analysts to discover other leaked military information available from the same threat actor. Once identified, searches in Recorded Future revealed the extent of the actor’s activities.
Busting common threat intelligence myths
There are plenty of misconceptions surrounding threat intelligence, one being that it is only for elite security analysts, another that it causes more problems than it solves. These misunderstandings risk leading many security professionals to believe that bringing threat intelligence into their role is not advantageous.

Resiliency in the Face of High-Profile Breaches and Trendy Threats
There’s a natural tendency, not just in cybersecurity, to be drawn to bright, shiny objects. If you’re a security professional, you’ve likely had to respond to questions from management and your coworkers about the latest high-profile breach or ransomware incident. For sure, that’s part of the job, but how do you make sure you’re not spending too much time reacting to the latest threat, when you could be strengthening your internal resiliency plans?
Chinese Government Alters Threat Database Records
In episode 29 of this podcast we heard from Dr. Bill Ladd, chief data scientist at Recorded Future, about the differences between the U.S. and Chinese cyber threat vulnerability reporting systems. He pointed out the difference in speed of publishing between the two, with the Chinese generally being faster, as well as their conclusion that the Chinese National Vulnerability Database (CNNVD) is essentially a shell for the Chinese MSS, the Ministry of State Security.
Ransomware Trends to Watch in 2018
Last year, I published my predictions for ransomware trends, some of which turned out to be correct — others, not so much. For example, ransomware becoming part of a number of different attack groups’ toolsets and the continued growth of fileless malware were accurate predictions. On the other hand, predicting a rise in ransomware designed to publicly shame victims as well as ransomware declining because of law enforcement actions were incorrect.
False Flags From Olympic Destroyer
The 2018 Olympic Games in PyeongChang recently concluded, but not without attempts at disruption from cyberattackers. A major telecom and IT provider was targeted with a multi-pronged campaign to gather credentials, move laterally within networks, and destroy data. It borrows bits of code from previously known campaigns, and was an aggressive effort to spread quickly and cause maximum damage to systems.
McAfee's Michael Rea on Managing Formal Intelligence Requirements
Our guest today is Michael Rea. He’s a threat intelligence professional currently working at McAfee. He’s got prior experience in the U.S. Navy, serving at sea and at shore, including positions at Cyber Command and the NSA.

What Lies Beneath: Protecting Your Data From Dark Web Denizens
Editor’s Note: The following blog post is a summary of a presentation from RFUN 2017 featuring First Data’s Christopher Mascaro and Recorded Future’s Andrei Barysevich. Your life is probably for sale on the internet — but don’t go rushing out to buy it back. That’s one of the points that Christopher Mascaro of First Data and Andrei Barysevich of Recorded Future made during their presentation at the Recorded Future’s recent annual user conference.
Threat Intelligence: Putting It All Together
At Recorded Future we have been very fortunate to grow with the expansion of threat intelligence. Back in 2010 only a few companies outside government were serious about building threat intelligence programs, in 2018 it’s quite different. We got started in open source (OSINT) and are to this day very proud of our very broad OSINT coverage across more than 30 human languages.
North Korea Targets South Korean Cryptocurrency
Facing sanctions from much of the rest of the world, North Korea has turned to cybercrime to help finance their operations. The Lazarus Group is well known as a state-sponsored team of criminal hackers serving North Korean interests, and in 2017 they set their sights on cryptocurrency users and exchanges in South Korea with a spear phishing campaign.
Applying Government Intelligence Strategies to Commercial Organizations
Editor’s Note: The following blog post is a summary of an RFUN 2017 customer presentation featuring Roberto Sanchez, vice president of intelligence at GroupSense. The “intelligence cycle” is a process which forms the basis of operations in government organizations like the CIA and the NSA. It very broadly outlines the stages of developing raw information into finished intelligence for policy makers to use in decision making.
2017 Cybersecurity in Review and Predictions for the New Year
Whether you felt 2017 flew by or you just couldn’t wait for it to be over, from a cybersecurity point of view there’s no question it was an interesting year. There was something for everyone, including ransomware, botnets, major data breaches, IoT issues, as well as business and policy concerns. Our guest today is Dr. Chris Pierson. He’s the CEO and founder of Binary Sun Cyber Risk Advisors, and a familiar voice for those of us who follow cybersecurity.
Dispelling Cybersecurity Myths
In this episode, we have a conversation with Gavin Reid, chief security architect at Recorded Future. Before joining Recorded Future, he helped design the systems that protect organizations like NASA, Cisco, and Fidelity.
Mastermind Behind Andromeda Botnet Arrested in Belarus
On December 4, 2017, a joint task-force of European Law Enforcement agencies, U.S. FBI, and several non-EU Member States successfully dismantled Andromeda Botnet, one of the oldest and largest criminal botnet operations. According to Microsoft, more than 2 million compromised computers worldwide were identified in 48 hours of observations prior to the take down.
ICS Is Serious Business (But There’s No Need to Panic)
Recently, there’s been a good bit of focus on industrial control systems (ICS) — the systems that monitor and help keep our critical infrastructure running. The electrical grid tends to get the most attention, but ICS includes water, dams, communications systems, pipelines, natural gas, transportation, and other process control systems. As more and more of these systems get connected to the internet they can make an attractive target for cybercriminals or state actors who are up to no good.
Budgeting for threat intelligence - spend to save
The use of threat intelligence in cybersecurity has rapidly increased recently, and security teams would be wise to incorporate it into their existing strategy. To guarantee smooth integration security teams must look to establish clear goals between themselves and the leadership of the organisation at the outset. To facilitate this effectively, it is first important to define exactly what threat intelligence is.
AI, Robots, and Cyborgs - Inside IoT With Chris Poulin
In this episode of the Recorded Future podcast we take a closer look at the Internet of Things (IoT). It’s a wide-ranging category, spanning everything from connected thermostats, refrigerators, and security cameras to industrial control systems, self-driving cars, and medical devices. It’s hardly an exaggeration to say that if a device has a power source, somebody is thinking up a way to connect it to the internet.
The Practical in Practice - Use Cases for Threat Intelligence
In this episode of the Recorded Future podcast, we take a closer look at the practical application of threat intelligence. Some security teams still meet threat intelligence with a skeptical eye, wondering how adding even more information to the flow of data they’re already receiving could improve their security posture. In reality, they’re likely already using some degree of threat intelligence even if they don’t realize it.
No Phishing Allowed
This episode focuses on phishing, where a bad actor pretends to be someone they’re not in order to get a user to reveal information, like a login or password, or to get them to perform a task, like transferring money. Phishing has been around for quite a while. Many of us remember breathless email requests from a certain Nigerian Prince looking to share millions of dollars.
A Look Into the Thriving Dark Web Criminal Market
The recent Equifax breach highlights the vulnerability of our personal data online, and serves as a reminder that there’s an active, thriving, global criminal market for that sort of information. In this episode of the Recorded Future podcast we return to the dark web, with Recorded Future’s Director of Advanced Collection, Andrei Barysevich, as our guide.
Why Does the U.S. Lag Behind China in Vulnerability Reporting?
The U.S. National Vulnerability Database, or NVD, is, in part, a collection of security-related reports. Software vulnerabilities are assigned CVE numbers, which stands for common vulnerabilities and exposures, which help track the issues and provide a common reference for referring to a specific flaw. China has a database of their own, the Chinese National Vulnerability Database, or CNNVD. Our guest today is Dr. Bill Ladd, chief data scientist at Recorded Future.
Know the Threat to Beat the Threat
Our guest today is Bob Gourley, author of the book “The Cyber Threat: Know the Threat to Beat the Threat.” Earlier in his career, Bob spent 20 years as a U.S. Navy intelligence officer. One of his last assignments with the military was as director of intelligence for the first Department of Defense cyber defense organization. He’s currently a partner at Cognitio Corp, where he leads research and analysis activities, due diligence assessments, and strategic cybersecurity reviews for clients.
