Optic just got a major refresh. The updated Synapse Enterprise UI features: • A cleaner, more consistent design • A simplified query bar • Custom themes (light, dark, high contrast & community themes) • Expanded edge support • A reworked Stories tool …and more. vertex.link/blogs/synaps...

🚀 Synapse v3 is now generally available. Built with more than a decade of experience alongside intelligence analysts, Synapse v3 delivers a more flexible data model, a better analyst experience, and the performance to tackle complex intelligence workflows. Learn more: vertex.link/synapse-v3

Trustworthy intelligence requires accuracy, precision, transparency, and the context needed to make decisions. In our latest episode of Signals & Stories, we explore what makes intelligence worth trusting and why methodology matters as much as conclusions. Listen here: vertex.link/10-year-anni...

We're soooo close to @vertexproject.bsky.social's release of #Synapse 3.0! In the meantime, you can get a peek at the new features in the #Optic UI, including an updated Stories Tool, themes, and more! vertex.link/blogs/synaps...

Our webinar is TOMORROW! Join The Vertex Project and Team Cymru to see how graph-native analysis and global network telemetry help analysts move beyond IOC chasing to uncover connected infrastructure, hidden relationships, and faster investigative outcomes. 📅 Tomorrow! 🔗 Register: hubs.la/Q04rHr6S0

I just got a preview, and this webinar has everything. 🎉 De anonymized KP ORB nets, job site recon, SSH server key overlaps, residential proxies, palindrome high ports, actor pattern of life... Ryann Hallback and Eli W. are gonna knock this out of the park! 💚🤩

Data rarely has the courtesy to fit neatly into one box. With Synapse 3, properties don’t have to either. See how polymorphic properties let a single property support multiple types without losing their distinct meaning or behavior: hubs.la/Q04rHdVL0 #Synapse #DataModeling

Your keyboard has a theme. Your editor has a theme. Your intelligence platform should too. Syn3 Optic now supports multiple themes, including light mode and high contrast. Preview on hover, choose your favorite, and it'll persist across sessions. Learn more: vertex.link/synapse-v3

Join us to see how Synapse + Team Cymru's global network telemetry help analysts pivot from isolated indicators to connected infrastructure, uncover hidden relationships, and accelerate investigations with graph-native analysis. vertex.link/events/beyon...

I mentioned this quote and forgot who said it and who shared it and wanted to give credit where credit is due

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...

Two analyst teams once disagreed over attribution so intensely it nearly turned into a fistfight. 😅 The lesson isn't self-defense. It's this: great intelligence means challenging assumptions, questioning conclusions, and changing your mind when the evidence does. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Awvv...

Being able to represent the whole story is critical to threat actor attribution. Can your platform represent analytically relevant lunch orders? 😉 PoL is now "Pattern of Lunch" ctrlaltintel.com/research/Voi...

Join us to see how Synapse + @teamcymrus2.bsky.social's global network telemetry help analysts move beyond IOC chasing to uncover infrastructure, expose campaigns, and connect adversary tradecraft through real-world investigations. vertex.link/events/beyon...

What’s that saying about the best laid plans? 😅 Our Synapse 3.0 demo video is going to be delayed. We're taking a little more time to make sure it's worth the wait. Thanks for your patience! Learn more about Synapse 3.0: vertex.link/synapse-v3

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...

In the latest Signals & Stories podcast, we discuss confirmation bias, attribution pitfalls, analytical tradecraft, and why the best intelligence teams encourage respectful disagreement. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Awvv...

Managing distributed Synapse deployments just got simpler. ✨ Automatic AHA provisioning 🔍 Service discovery by type 🔄 Dynamic leader election ⚙️ Less manual configuration The latest Synapse Enterprise Beta brings major improvements to operating at scale. docs.vertex.link/docs/synapse...

In the latest episode of Signals & Stories, @lawsecnet.counterintelligence.pl highlights why effective intelligence requires both skilled OSINT researchers and regional experts who provide the cultural and local context technical analysis alone can't. vertex.link/10-year-anni...

With 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...

Hot take from @jags.bsky.social We appreciate the discussion happening in the space around what “scalable intelligence” actually means. We’re building Synapse for that exact problem set: vertex.link

In this Signals & Stories clip, reign explains how Synapse surfaces connections across datasets, but it’s still the analyst who decides what matters. Signal vs noise never goes away. It just gets better tooling around it. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

The jetlag subsided - we wanted to give a big thank you to the organizers, speakers, volunteers, and attendees at x33fcon. We're grateful to have been a sponsor and to support such a strong cybersecurity community. Thanks for the conversations, insights, and connections throughout the event.
