In January 2023, TeamWorx Security, Inc., published the Cyber Threat Intelligence Field Manual (CTI FM). TeamWorx Security empowers security operation centers (SOC), managed security service providers (MSSP), and cyber incident response teams with the tools, expert analysis, and training needed for incidents in defense, cyber, law enforcement, critical infrastructure, and emergency management.
“The reason we started TeamWorx Security was to help protect our country from cyber threats and the publication of the Cyber Threat Intelligence Field Manual is an important part of our mission,” says Chris Anthony, lead author of the FM and co–founder of TeamWorx Security. “I started thinking about this book eight years ago and writing it has been a true team effort. This manual will be an invaluable resource to cyber threat intelligence analysts. I’m so proud of our folks at TeamWorx Security who helped this dream become a reality: Rick Chapman, Jordan Creamer, Allissa Race, Alexander Lothstein, Laura Nolan, and Sam Ingalls.”
