Why This Matters

This webinar highlights the importance of proactive threat detection by teaching security teams how to identify early warning signals of cyberattacks in open and hidden sources. Recognizing these signals before an attack escalates can significantly enhance an organization's defense strategy, reducing potential damage and downtime. As cyber threats become more sophisticated, understanding and acting on early indicators is crucial for maintaining security resilience in the tech industry and for consumers alike.

Key Takeaways

Many cyberattacks don’t start with exploitation, they start with signals that are commonly overlooked.

On Thursday, April 30 at 2:00 PM ET, BleepingComputer will host a live webinar with cybersecurity company Flare and threat intelligence researcher Tammy Harper, exploring how security teams can identify early warning signs of attacks before they escalate into incidents.

Threat actors may sometimes reveal their intentions in public and semi-public spaces, from dark web forums and Telegram channels to access broker marketplaces and vulnerability discussions. These signals, whether it’s credential requests, chatter around new exploits, or listings for network access, can provide valuable insight into emerging threats and targeting patterns.

Flare Systems, a threat intelligence firm focused on external threat monitoring, helps organizations detect these signals across hidden and open sources. By surfacing actionable intelligence from noisy environments, security teams can better understand attacker behavior and prioritize defenses before an intrusion occurs.

In this Thursday's webinar, titled "From noise to signal: What threat actors are targeting next," attendees will learn how to move beyond reactive detection and begin using threat intelligence as a proactive defense tool.

Impending attacks leave clues, if you know where to look

From early-stage reconnaissance to coordination between threat actors, some of the groundwork for cyberattacks happens in the open. However, these indicators are often fragmented and difficult to interpret without the right context.

This webinar will explore how to monitor and analyze these signals effectively, helping security teams separate meaningful indicators from background noise and identify when activity points to a real threat.
