Chronicle: A Meteor Aimed At Planet Threat Intel?
Summary: Alphabet announced it is rolling out Chronicle, a security platform that graduated from its X division and draws in part on data from VirusTotal, which Google acquired in 2012 and which handles roughly one million submissions a day. Chronicle CEO Stephen Gillett said the service aims to make it easier and faster for security teams to capture and analyze signals, and the company is trialing a preview release with several unnamed Fortune 500 firms.
Why it matters: VirusTotal's one million daily submissions feed back to the antivirus vendors in the program, and criminals have already built 'no distribute' scanners that use the same tools while blocking them from reporting new variants - so the same data pool arms both sides.
