Next week, on May 30th the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCDCOE) opens the 10th International Conference on Cyber Conflict, CyCon 2018. The anniversary event focuses on the theme of maximising effects in the cyber domain.

The Prime Minister of Romania, Mrs. Viorica Dăncilă, announced today during her visit to Estonia that Romania looks forward to joining NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCDCOE) in 2019. NATO-accredited cyber defence hub in Tallinn welcomes the decision of Romania to become another NATO Ally to join the Centre.

As of 1 September 2018 Colonel Jaak Tarien, former Commander of Estonian Air Force for the past six years, will assume the role of Director of the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence based in Estonia.

Merle Maigre, current Director of CCDCOE, will take on a new challenge in September by joining CybExer Technologies, an Estonian cyber security company which is rapidly expanding its operations both in Estonia and abroad.

Colonel Jaak Tarien, until recently the long-term Commander of Estonian Air Force, assumed today from Merle Maigre the role of Director of the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence based in Tallinn.

The Call for CyCon 2019 Papers is open until 1 October 2018. The theme for the eleventh International Conference on Cyber Conflict, hosted by the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence, is ‘Silent Battle’. CyCon 2019 will take place in Tallinn, Estonia, from 28 to 31 May 2019.

The International Conference on Cyber Conflict, CyCon, is entering its second decade. Throughout the years, CyCon has established itself as a prominent multidisciplinary conference, introducing keynotes and panels focusing on the technical, legal, policy, strategy and military perspectives of cyber defence and security. This is undoubtedly thanks to the amount of high-quality original academic research presented at the conference. In 2018, the Academic Review Committee selected 22 articles that were presented at the conference and published in the proceedings.

The NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence contributes this week to the setup and organisation of NATO’s largest cyber exercise Cyber Coalition 2018 taking place in Tartu, Estonia. This year, the experts of the Centre contributed to the operational and legal part of the exercise scenario, adding respective challenges to the participating cyber experts across the Alliance.

Recorded Future was just named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: External Threat Intelligence Service Providers, Q3 2026.

We’re incredibly proud of this acknowledgment, just as we are of every recognition we’ve received over the years. Behind every one of these industry evaluations is a lot of work that readers never see — including product demonstrations, customer reference calls, briefing presentations, and formal questionnaire submissions — all of it condensed into a single final report. But the most interesting part of any industry recognition is all the details and information that resides in the demos, decks, and responses, so we wanted to share some additional context on the factors that we believe contributed to our ranking this year.

Use this blog post as a companion guide when reading your complimentary copy of the Forrester Wave™ report, which you’ll find in the link below.

Superior support for Priority Intelligence Requirements

Priority Intelligence Requirements (PIRs) are foundational in helping security teams achieve meaningful outcomes, because they help shape data collection strategy and support the effective decision-making that enables machine-speed defense.

Recorded Future received the highest possible score in the PIR criterion. Forrester’s evaluation describes this score as for vendors that offer “superior support for features such as mechanisms to translate external PIRs meaningfully, advanced querying for building/optimizing PIRs, and structured management of General Intelligence Requirements.”

We’ve made PIRs a particular focus in the Recorded Future Platform, adding prebuilt PIRs and enabling customers to use them or define their own in our Impact and Metrics Dashboard. The dashboard surfaces metrics based on those requirements, so teams can more easily measure and better report on how successfully their programs are answering the key questions business leadership wants answered.

Extensive intelligence collection sources and deep and dark web monitoring

Intelligence is at the core of the modern security stack, and good intelligence is often what separates reactive security teams from proactive ones that can defend themselves pre-attack, at the first sign of threat.

To us, Forrester’s evaluation criteria show how important comprehensive intelligence collection is in providing security teams with full visibility across the threat landscape. Here are the different types of data sources we primarily index and analyze and how these data sources can be used for a multitude of use cases:

Technical intelligence— network traffic analysis across billions of daily data points from over 200 points of presence, internet-wide scanning and infrastructure monitoring, malware detonation and behavioral analysis, and vulnerability exploitation tracking
Underground intelligence— data gathered from criminal forums, marketplaces, and adversaries that can help identify stolen data and credentials, emerging attack techniques, threat actor intent, and ransomware victimology
Community intelligence— aggregated detections across customers that reveal patterns and campaign-level activity no single organization would usually catch on its own
Open-source intelligence— broader context from data leakage detection, code repository monitoring, social media monitoring, and web/HTML/DOM analysis to help catch brand abuse, impersonation, and exposed data

Threat hunting, vulnerability intelligence, third-party risk management, and more
We believe that receiving the highest possible scores in the Forrester Wave in criteria around multiple cybersecurity disciplines — including brand protection, third-party and supply chain intelligence, fraud intelligence, and threat hunting and vulnerability intelligence — demonstrate our commitment to providing powerful threat intelligence and defensive capabilities across the entire attack surface.
