FB-ISAO Members Inform Our Products

Every now and then and when warranted, we’ll be taking a few minutes to talk about how to use our products. I am so excited to talk about one of our new products on Social Media Sweeps. We’ve discussed this topic here and there, in other products, in the daily awareness post and in our educational discussions.

Discovering what information is being said about you or your organization online can be helpful in assessing risk and potential threats. In addition, threat actors routinely search online for any information that could be used to support their hostile event planning. Therefore, it is important for organizations to carry out a review. The Weekly Advisory of 19 March 2025 is a how-to resource.  I encourage members to take a look at the product and to follow the guidance to set-up their own social media sweeps for general awareness of mentions of your organization on social media. Further, the guidance can be used for evaluating information about your organization’s public facing website and social media platforms to ensure that there is no information that could be used by threat actors to facilitate an attack.

To a large extent, the steps can be set up once but will require periodic review of key words so that the searches are kept current. Most everything related to your security program requires periodic review and so folding the review of your social media sweeps would fall into that category.

This product was informed by one of our members and developed by the Chair of the Cybersecurity Threat Intelligence Working Group.

We welcome your input feedback and requests – this is a community of force multipliers!
