Open source intelligence gathering and analysis of cyber attack trends
With the emergence and growing dominance of the Internet, the cyber threat landscape has experienced rapid changes in recent years. As people struggle to understand and keep up with the latest threats, the lack of readily available resources is a challenge faced by many. To address this issue, prope...
