AhnLab's K-CTI 2024 presentation emphasized that identifying threat actors and understanding their strategies are central to modern cyber threat intelligence. The talk explained that vendors use different naming and management systems, including MITRE ATT&CK groups, Malpedia actors, Mandiant UNC clusters, Microsoft weather-themed names, and AhnLab's planned taxonomy based on arthropod names. It warned that simply copying another vendor's actor names without an internal classification process can produce incorrect intelligence, especially when tracking sophisticated state-backed activity and TTPs.
