Tony Meehan expresses his excitement about the release of the 2022 Elastic Global Threat Report, reflecting on how the cybersecurity landscape has evolved since the first M-Trends report from Mandiant in 2010. Meehan, who has a background in developing computer network exploitation tools at the NSA, highlights that the Elastic report continues a tradition of sharing threat intelligence while also adopting a more open approach to publicizing detections to better combat cyber threats. He emphasizes the ongoing importance of credential access for attackers, particularly concerning cloud workloads, and stresses the need for collaboration between defenders and developers. This collaboration can bridge the gap between Observability and Security to enhance protection against attacks. The report showcases Elastic Security Labs' commitment to open security, inviting the community to engage with their findings and contribute to a collaborative defense against increasingly sophisticated cyber adversaries.
