Threat Landscape Dashboard<\/a> illustrates the relationships among exploit kits, campaigns, and ransomware. For example, the RIG exploit kit takes advantage of vulnerabilities that are used to spread certain ransomware families. Further, some of these vulnerabilities are also seen in targeted campaigns. Consequently, we can show links between exploit kits and targeted campaigns through vulnerability correlation. We also calculate a \u201crisk score\u201d for each threat and campaign, and recently added a \u201cmedia score,\u201d too. Monitoring and processing information from social media feeds, we calculate a score for the press attention received by the specific threat or campaign.<\/p>\nThe Beginning of the Threat Landscape Dashboard<\/h2>\n
On each threat\u2019s details page, we provide reference links to more information about the threat, including the source, blogs, and whitepapers. The dashboard also supports RSS feeds.<\/p>\n
This is just the beginning for the Threat Landscape Dashboard; we are eager for your feedback. In the near future we plan to expand the dashboard with detailed threat descriptions and more contextual data. That information will be available through the RSS feed so users can import the feed and, based on keywords, filter the incoming stream.<\/p>\n
