Right now, different cybersecurity companies often give the same hacking group completely different names. Which makes tracking and responding to attacks harder and slower.
Microsoft and CrowdStrike are teaming up to change that.
They’re creating a unified naming system that clearly identifies cybercriminal groups. Using weather-themed names like “Typhoon” for Chinese state-backed groups. Or “Tempest” for financially motivated gangs.
This might seem like a small change, but it’s a big win for businesses.
It means clearer threat reports, faster responses, and less confusion for your IT support or security provider. Ultimately, it helps your business stay safer and better prepared when cyberthreats strike.
