CrowdStrike (CRWD) and Microsoft (MSFT) announced a collaboration to bring clarity and coordination to how cyber threat actors are identified and tracked across security vendors. By mapping threat actor aliases and aligning adversary attribution across platforms, the collaboration minimizes confusion caused by different naming systems and accelerates cyber defenders’ response against today’s and tomorrow’s most sophisticated adversaries. The cybersecurity industry has developed multiple naming systems for threat actors, each grounded in unique vantage points, intelligence sources, and analytic rigor. These taxonomies provide critical adversary context to help organizations understand the threats they face, who is targeting them, and why. But as the adversary landscape grows, so does the complexity of cross-vendor attribution. Through this deeper collaboration, CrowdStrike and Microsoft have developed a shared mapping system – a ‘Rosetta Stone’ for cyber threat intelligence – that links adversary identifiers across vendor ecosystems without mandating a single naming standard. By reducing ambiguity in how adversaries are labeled, this mapping enables defenders to make faster, more confident decisions, correlate threat intelligence across sources, and better disrupt threat actor activity before it causes harm. By making it easier to connect naming conventions like COZY BEAR and Midnight Blizzard, the mapping supports quicker decision-making and unified threat response across taxonomies.
