In this quarterly Threats Report, we highlight two Key Topics:
We discuss the background and drivers of threat intelligence sharing; various threat intelligence components, sources, and sharing models; how mature security operations can use shared threat intelligence; and five critical threat intelligence–sharing challenges that need to be overcome.
We examine Mirai, which was responsible for the widely publicized DDoS attack on Dyn, a major DNS service provider. Mirai is notable because it detects and infects poorly secured IoT devices, transforming them into bots to attack its targets.

Read this McAfee Labs Threat Report and learn how mature security operations can use threat intelligence sharing to simplify event triage and provide a better environment for security practitioners to investigate high-priority threats.
