Threat Sighting aims to aggregate and deliver the latest news and stories in cyber security to the general public, and professionals. Taking its contents from over 150 cyber security vendor web sites, news sites, blogs and social media sites, its provides a comprehensive coverage of cyber security and the Internet.

Editorial Policy

Threat Sighting carefully curates these articles according to its editorial policy, which places a special focus on reporting emerging and ongoing cyber threats and attacks. News articles on cyber security technology, security practice and management, cyber security training, cyber security laws, are generally of low emphasis and go unreported on Threat Sighting.

Reports

The curated articles are presented daily in several report formats. These reports include:
  1. Daily Brief. A newspaper-like with a mix of geographical and topical sections. Special focus is placed on Asia, with articles covering other regions or locations under the World section. This is the preferred option for most general readers. However, it tends to be very comprehensive with a long section on cyber threats and attacks.
  2. Region Brief. This organizes articles into the major regions of the world: North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania. It is useful for some readers who are only focused on cyber security developments in certain world regions. 
  3. Sector Brief. Similar to the Region Brief, the Sector Brief is to cater to readers interested only in cyber news for specific industry sectors or vertical markets.
  4. Threat Report. The Threat Report groups articles into major cyber security concepts and threat classes. This is useful to readers who are interested in specific topics like types of attacks and threats.
  5. Platform Report. The Platform Report classifies articles into various common operating systems for desktop and mobile computing devices. This format is useful for the general public interested in only desktop or mobile devices, or for engineers focused on maintaining or supporting computing devices running one or more of the operating system platform. 
  6. APT Report. The APT Report is for the cyber security professionals such as security analysts and engineers who are tasked with defending high value targets and their high profile clients against sophisticated adversaries. The APT Report does not contain articles  related to other low level threats and is thus much more concise in its coverage, and also more time saving to read.
