Cyber Research Unit (CRU)

All the latest in security news. The CRU identifies new vulnerabilities, researches them, and shares what they find with all to see.

The CRU has developed automated tools to perform basic analysis on security incidents to help automatically make decisions on escalation and remediation. 

With “research” in the name, it only makes sense that research is involved. They dig deep into automated and manual malware analysis, vulnerabilities, and more.

The CRU monitors ransom leak sites and malicious botnets for new threats, uses OSINT resources, and utilizes data from the Perch platform to help create content and complete research.

With the CRU, cyber threat hunting involves building visualizations to highlight abnormal activity, searching through data for new indicators of compromise (IoCs), or testing various queries and reviewing the results.

The CRU is a big fan of hosting CTFs, and for good reason. From their eyes, cybersecurity capture the flag events are a great way to dip your toes into cybersecurity or build upon expert skills.
