It feels like there's new threat intel coming out every hour, from zero-days to ransomware groups and APT activity. Staying informed is crucial, but it’s easy to get overwhelmed by constant alerts and headlines.
I keep a simple system:
- I follow a few trusted sources like CISA, Krebs on Security, and vendor blogs such as CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and Microsoft.
- I use Feedly to organize news by topic, including SOC operations, incident response, or threat hunting.
- I spend just 20 to 30 minutes a few times a week to scan updates instead of checking nonstop.
- I focus on tactics, techniques, and procedures, along with trends, not just headlines. That’s where the real learning happens.
How about you? What tools, websites, or habits do you use to stay informed without feeling overwhelmed?
