Netflix Open Sources Internal Threat Monitoring Tools

Posted by timothy on from the how-they-watch-you-watching-them dept.

alphadogg (971356) writes Netflix has released three internal tools it uses to catch hints on the Web that hackers might target its services. "Many security teams need to stay on the lookout for Internet-based discussions, posts and other bits that may be of impact to the organizations they are protecting," wrote Andy Hoernecke and Scott Behrens of Netflix's Cloud Security Team. One of the tools, called Scumblr, can be used to create custom searches of Google sites, Twitter and Facebook for users or keywords.

    Why is it this is the only article I can really find online about Netflix petitioning the FCC to now allow the Comcast TWC merger?
