Microsoft and Crowdstrike announce partnership on threat actor naming

Whenever a cyberattack is discovered, companies disclose it to the public and assign it a unique name based on their internal procedures. Unfortunately, this leads to inconsistencies, as each company has its own naming conventions. As a result, the same threat actor behind a cyberattack may end up with multiple names, causing delays and confusion in response efforts.
For example, a threat actor that Microsoft refers to as Midnight Blizzard might be known as Cozy Bear, APT29, or UNC2452 by other security vendors.
