Side Quest

Security Signal Intelligence

Which security event this week is worth a conversation, and for which accounts?

Who uses it
A rep preparing an account call, or a field marketer who cannot monitor every advisory alone.
Decision it enables
Whether to open a conversation, and what we are allowed to say.
Working today
Nothing in this repository. Rapid7 playbooks and Darktrace industry training were field work. They are not this product.
Workflow and next steps
Inputs → review → output
A fixed list of public sources → a person reviews the item → a note that says whether a rep should use it. That path is not built.
Planned next
A reviewed weekly note. I have not turned the source list into software.
Technologies in this repo or a linked project
None. This page is the note.

What a team actually used

Rapid7 threat-intelligence playbooks and Darktrace industry training.

Proposed software, separate from that asset

Not designed as a product yet.

Where it stands

Concept. The playbooks and the training were real. I have not completed a design for this product, and I have not built it.

My role

At Rapid7 I was a threat-intelligence resource for enterprise accounts, partners, and customers, and I wrote playbooks the portfolio team used. At Darktrace I built industry-knowledge training. A shared signal product is still an idea.

Metric to test

No product metric. I am not counting the playbooks or the training as usage of this idea.

Links

No public demo or repository beyond this page.

How it works

The problem I kept seeing

Relevant security news, breaches, and market events are difficult for GTM teams to monitor and interpret consistently.

Timely conversations need a shared, reviewed digest — not 20 people refreshing the same feeds.

Without a repeatable answer: Inconsistent awareness. Missed campaign windows.

What I was working from

Threat-intelligence playbooks at Rapid7 and industry training at Darktrace existed because the field could not monitor the market consistently on its own.

Workflow

Sources → Collection → Normalization → Deduplication → Classification → Relevance scoring → Review → Digest / alerts

In plain language

Sources → Normalize → Classify → Review → Digest

Described stack — not what this repository runs

Names below are a sketch. They are not completed integrations unless the technology section says Built with.

Source collection · Normalization · Classification · Review queue · Digest delivery

Source · Event · Account relevance · Review · Digest

Next. Not started as software.

Goals

  • Collect, deduplicate, classify, score relevance, and review before a digest goes out.

Out of scope

  • A news product.
  • Unreviewed alerts to customers.

Smallest version

A reviewed weekly digest with account/persona tags.

Question that version tests: Does a shared, reviewed signal feed change conversation quality?

Metrics I would watch

These are not results unless the section above says they are on record.

  • Faster market awareness
  • Digest usage
  • Campaigns launched from signals
  • Hypothesis: stronger customer conversations and timely campaigns

If market events are reviewed and tagged, GTM should respond faster and more consistently. Next — not built. Human review stays in the loop.

Tradeoffs

  • Reviewed digest over real-time unfiltered alerts.
  • Deterministic source list over open-ended crawling.

What I would build next

  • Source list
  • Review queue
  • Account tagging
