Midnight Blizzard, Cozy Bear, APT29, NOBELIUM — one actor, many names. Why vendors disagree on naming, what breaks when aliases aren't managed, and a 5-step workflow for building an alias-aware actor knowledge base.
Attribution isn't a single "aha" moment — it's dozens of low-confidence observations that only mean something once they're connected. Why actor tracking breaks down, and how to build attribution that compounds over time.
Great analysis rarely fails because of a missed indicator — it fails because the reasoning behind it was never written down. Why structured note-taking separates strong CTI, SOC, and DFIR analysts from the rest.
Learn how CTI analysts transform daily web articles, technical threat reports, and IOC lists into structured entities, connected threat actor graphs, and actionable MITRE ATT&CK mappings.
A practical comparison of MISP, OpenCTI, Yeti, TheHive/Cortex, Maltego CE, and HC IntelLab — for analysts who need structured CTI without enterprise overhead.
