Threat Intelligence Alone Won't Close the Exploitation Gap
Pentera argues threat intelligence alone leaves a validation gap, promoting threat-led penetration testing that auto-tests leaked credentials against real attack surfaces.
A contributed Pentera piece argues that threat intelligence signals such as leaked credentials and vulnerability advisories often sit unactioned in queues because teams lack the offensive capacity to validate them against live environments. It promotes threat-led penetration testing (TLPT) and highlights Pentera's integration with Recorded Future, which triggers automated validation of leaked credentials against an organization's external attack surface. Wyndham Hotels & Resorts cybersecurity VP Joseph Gothelf is quoted supporting the convergence of threat intelligence and security validation.

Exclusive: NSA to host a hacker reunion in bid to rebuild secretive unit
NSA will host a reunion of former Tailored Access Operations hackers as it moves to rebuild and rebrand the elite unit.
The invitation-only event at Fort Meade, spearheaded by Deputy Director Tim Kosiba, a former TAO technical director, will tour the new TAO building and pitch alumni to return. TAO, credited with contributions to Stuxnet and once grown to over 2,000 personnel, was renamed Computer Network Operations about a decade ago, and the recent reshuffle undid some of those changes after NSA lost roughly 2,100 staff (8% of its workforce) last year.
