The firm also has emphasized that in addition to showing links between exploit kits, campaigns and ransomware, the dashboard also provides extra details about threats by including its source, blogs and whitepapers. There is also a "risk score" for every campaign as well as a "media score" that depends on how much press and social media attention threats are receiving.
