CrowdStrike and Microsoft have announced a strategic collaboration to streamline cyber threat attribution by creating a unified mapping system for threat actor identification. This 'Rosetta Stone' for cyber threat intelligence harmonizes different naming conventions across vendor platforms, enabling faster threat response and better defense coordination.

The collaboration aims to reduce confusion caused by multiple naming systems, accelerate defensive responses, and strengthen global cybersecurity. Both companies plan to expand this initiative by inviting other partners to contribute to a shared threat actor mapping resource for the cybersecurity community.

While 93% of SMBs are aware of cyber risks and 83% have security plans, only 36% are investing in new tools, and a mere 11% have adopted AI-powered defenses.

Key findings show that SMBs with fewer than 50 employees are most vulnerable, with only 47% having security plans and over half spending less than 1% of their budget on cybersecurity. While 67% of SMBs prioritize affordability, only 57% focus on protection against advanced threats.
