I read both the Kerbson & Wired articles and while I commend the work they've done, it sounds like an expensive operation and not really worth the investment by Cisco if they can't brand it or make any money from it. When I read statistics like "1.2 billion malware samples" or "11.6 petabytes of threat intelligence data" I have to wonder how much of that is really relevant today. Do we really need to be storing malware samples from archaic operating systems? Couldn't they lean down their operation to focus on the most widely used platforms? How effective are honeypots in 2020? I'm just not sure this really needs to be saved.
