LimaCharlie and SnapAttack are pleased to announce a new integration that gives organizations access to open-source intelligence objects and behaviorally-oriented detections developed by the SnapAttack threat research team as well as popular community tools, such as Atomic Red Team and Sigma. The ruleset contains high-confidence detections for most platforms that have been verified against true positive data by SnapAttack’s threat detection team.
