Hot Take:

Ah, the Internet Storm Center—where cybersecurity pros gather to discuss threat levels, upcoming classes, and the latest podcasts. It’s like the Hogwarts of the cyber world, but instead of wands, we wield firewalls and packet sniffers. You know it’s a serious place when the threat level is “green,” and your biggest worry is if your coffee will stay hot until the next podcast drops.

Key Points:

  • Threat level is currently “green,” meaning all is calm in cyberspace—for now!
  • Xavier Mertens is the handler on duty, presumably keeping the digital fort secure.
  • An online class on Network Monitoring and Threat Detection is coming up in December 2025.
  • The latest ISC Stormcast podcast is ready for download, promising to be more thrilling than your last Zoom call.
  • The site offers a smorgasbord of cybersecurity resources, from diaries to data feeds.
