In the latest episode of Signals & Stories, @threathuntergirl.bsky.social unpacks the ideas behind her viral "Hard Cyber Threat Intel Pills to Swallow" graphic and the lessons that shape better analysts. What's one "hard pill" every CTI analyst should accept? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...
Synapse Enterprise v3.0.0b3 now supports multi-core parallel execution for Storm queries. The new Storm query worker pool automatically scales across CPU cores, allowing a big boost to Storm query throughput! docs.vertex.link/docs/synapse...
Welcome to the Synapse documentation! — Synapse Documentation documentation

I am continually shocked at the number of vendors who don't know what "structured data" means. Many APIs are bad enough but how can you not get a simple one-off spreadsheet or CSV file right?
There's a LOT in #Synapse v3 but we're here to walk you through the most impactful changes. Check out our first (of many...) updates on what's new and 🔥!
The Vertex Project@vertexproject.bsky.social · 4w agoWith Synapse v3 Beta, we’ve evolved the data model to make it easier for analysts to represent complex intelligence, uncover relationships, and build more powerful workflows. Explore what’s new: vertex.link/blogs/synaps...
Happy Wednesday! You're welcome. 😉💚
The Vertex Project@vertexproject.bsky.social · last mo.🎉 Synapse 3.0 Beta is now available! Built on 10+ years of analyst feedback, Synapse 3.0 introduces a redesigned data model, improved performance, an updated user experience, and a foundation for future innovation. vertex.link/synapse-v3
Synapse MCP (beta) is here! The initial Synapse MCP release provides access to Storm tools and skills, Data Model introspection, and dedicated view tools through a standardized MCP interface. synapse.docs.vertex.link/en/latest/sy...
New Signals & Stories episode with @hegel.bsky.social from @sentinelone.com & @invisig0th.bsky.social We discuss: 🔹DPRK IT workers posing as job applicants 🔹Cross-functional intelligence sharing 🔹AI in CTI 🔹And more! #CyberSecurity #CTI #ThreatIntelligence www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQ1_...
THIS is why we do what we do. Every side conversation, chance encounter at a conference, and person who tells us how we helped their research or made their job easier. 🥹 Grateful for the opportunity to empower analysts to do their best work. 💚
The Vertex Project@vertexproject.bsky.social · 3mo agoFeedback like this sticks with us. Building for practitioners means holding ourselves to a high bar every day. If you’d like to share your experience, we’re always listening. More to come as we keep pushing. vertex.link/10-year-anni...
A huge congratulations to @invisig0th.bsky.social and John Rodgers - ten years is no small feat! You should be proud of what you've built at @vertexproject.bsky.social: the company, the team, #Synapse, but especially the customers and community. 💚 Thanks for inviting us along for the ride.
The Vertex Project@vertexproject.bsky.social · 3mo ago🥳 It’s our 10 year anniversary! We’re celebrating the evolution of intelligence-driven security—and launching Signals & Stories, a new podcast on the future of CTI. 🔗 vertex.link/10-year-anni... #CyberSecurity #CTI #ThreatIntelligence
Hot off the press! Check out reign's latest blog on cloud threat intelligence.
The Vertex Project@vertexproject.bsky.social · 3mo agoThreat actors are abusing cloud environments like AWS, Azure, and GitHub - but most CTI workflows haven’t caught up. Here’s how Synapse helps analysts track, correlate, and understand cloud-based threat activity vertex.link/blogs/cloud-...
Synapse views & layers are powerful, but there’s room for error when moving data between them. Our latest blog covers how to do it safely, plus how to recover when things go wrong. vertex.link/blogs/merge-...

@pivotcon.bsky.social gets better every year...congratulations to all the speakers! 🎉
PIVOTcon@pivotcon.bsky.social · 5mo ago📣 #PIVOTcon26 Agenda is here 🤟 We are thrilled to announce the lineup for this year's edition! 2⃣ days and 19 talks from leading #ThreatResearch experts. The agenda link is in the first comment👇, and the talks and speakers are in the thread.🧵 #CTI #ThreatIntel 1/15
Staying ahead of the constant flow of intelligence data isn’t about collecting more, it’s about connecting the right signals faster. Ryann Hallback (reign) shows how analysts cut through noise, link critical data, and move investigations forward with confidence. www.youtube.com/watch?v=84oG...
So fortunate to work for a great company and a team of absolute rockstars (and genuinely good people). 💚 @vertexproject.bsky.social
The Vertex Project@vertexproject.bsky.social · 6mo agoThe team is together in Curaçao this week for some face time, planning, and collaboration 🌴 As a remote-first company, time onsite at The Vertex Project is a rare chance to align on what’s next — with good ideas, great conversations, and a little sunshine to help.
