Anunciamos una nueva colaboración estratégica para aportar claridad a la nomenclatura de los actores de amenazas

junio 19, 2025

Anunciamos una nueva colaboración estratégica para aportar claridad a la nomenclatura de los actores de amenazas

Grupo de personas sentadas en una mesa en una sala de juntas

Por: Vasu Jakkal, vicepresidenta corporativa de seguridad de Microsoft.

En el panorama actual de las ciberamenazas, incluso unos segundos de retraso pueden significar la diferencia entre detener un ciberataque o ser víctima del ransomware. Una de las principales causas de la demora en la respuesta es la comprensión de la atribución de los actores de amenazas, que a menudo se ve ralentizada por datos inexactos o incompletos, así como por inconsistencias en la nomenclatura en todas las plataformas. Esto, a su vez, puede reducir la confianza, complicar el análisis y retrasar la respuesta. Como se describe en la guía del Instituto Nacional de Estándares y Tecnología (NIST, por sus siglas en inglés) sobre el uso compartido de amenazas (SP 800-1501), alinear la forma en que describimos y categorizamos las amenazas cibernéticas puede mejorar la comprensión, la coordinación y la postura de seguridad general.

Es por eso que nos complace anunciar que Microsoft y CrowdStrike se unen para crear alineación entre nuestras taxonomías individuales de actores de amenazas. Al mapear dónde se alinea nuestro conocimiento de estos actores, proporcionaremos a los profesionales de la seguridad la capacidad de conectar información más rápido y tomar decisiones con mayor confianza.

Más información sobre la taxonomía conjunta de actores de amenazas de Microsoft y CrowdStrike

Los nombres son la forma en que damos sentido al panorama de amenazas y organizamos la información sobre los comportamientos conocidos o probables de los ciberatacantes. En Microsoft, hemos publicado nuestra propia taxonomía de nomenclatura de actores de amenazas para ayudar a los investigadores y defensores a identificar, compartir y actuar sobre nuestra inteligencia de amenazas, que se basa en los 84 billones de señales de amenazas que procesamos a diario. Pero el mismo actor al que Microsoft se refiere como Midnight Blizzard podría ser referido como Cozy Bear, APT29 o UNC2452 por otro proveedor. Nuestros clientes mutuos siempre buscan claridad. Alinear los puntos en común conocidos entre los nombres de estos actores directo con los de sus pares ayuda a proporcionar una mayor claridad y proporciona a los defensores un camino más claro hacia la acción.

Presentamos una guía de referencia colaborativa para los actores de amenazas

Microsoft y CrowdStrike publican la primera versión de nuestro mapeo conjunto de actores de amenazas. Incluye:

  • Una lista de actores comunes rastreados por Microsoft y CrowdStrike mapeados por sus respectivas taxonomías.
  • Alias correspondientes de la taxonomía de cada grupo.

Esta guía de referencia sirve como punto de partida, una forma de traducir a través de los sistemas de nomenclatura para que los defensores puedan trabajar más rápido y de manera más eficiente, en especial en entornos donde están en juego las ideas de múltiples proveedores. Esta guía de referencia ayuda a:

  • Mejorar la confianza en la identificación de actores de amenazas.
  • Optimizar la correlación entre plataformas e informes.
  • Acelerar la acción de los defensores frente a las ciberamenazas activas.

Este esfuerzo no se trata de crear un estándar de nomenclatura único. Más bien, está destinado a ayudar a nuestros clientes y a la comunidad de seguridad en general a alinear la inteligencia más fácil, responder más rápido y mantenerse por delante de los actores de amenazas.

De cara al futuro

Esta asignación de taxonomía inicial es una colaboración entre Microsoft y CrowdStrike. Google/Mandiant y la Unidad 42 de Palo Alto Networks también contribuirán a este esfuerzo. Esperamos compartir actualizaciones de esas colaboraciones en un futuro próximo. La seguridad es una responsabilidad compartida que requiere esfuerzos de toda la comunidad para mejorar las medidas defensivas. Estamos emocionados de asociarnos con CrowdStrike y esperamos que otros se unan a nosotros en este recorrido.

Amazon S3 Express One Zone now supports atomic renaming of objects with a single API call

Amazon S3 Express One Zone now supports renaming objects with the new RenameObject API. For the first time in S3, you can rename existing objects atomically (with a single operation) without any data movement.

The RenameObject API simplifies data management in S3 directory buckets by transforming a multi-step rename operation into a single API call. You can now rename objects in S3 Express One Zone by specifying an existing object’s name as the source and the new name of the object as the destination within the same S3 directory bucket. With no data movement involved, this capability accelerates applications like log file management, media processing, and data analytics while lowering costs. For example, renaming a 1-terabyte log file can now complete in milliseconds, instead of hours, significantly accelerating applications and reducing cost.

You can use the RenameObject API in the S3 Express One Zone storage class in all AWS Regions where the storage class is available. You can get started with the new capability in S3 Express One Zone using the AWS SDKs, AWS CLI, AWS Management Console, Amazon S3 API, or Mountpoint for Amazon S3 (version 1.19.0 or higher). To learn more, visit the S3 User Guide.
