The Problem

Security analysts spend 5-10 hours/week manually tracking:

• CVE vulnerability trends
• Ransomware campaign popularity
• Competitor security incidents
• Industry compliance deadlines

The Solution

Automated Google Trends monitoring for threat intelligence:

• Track multiple security terms simultaneously
• Visual spike detection for emerging threats
• Compare threat popularity over time
• Export data for threat reports

Use Cases

1. CVE Monitoring: Track which vulnerabilities are gaining attention
2. Ransomware Tracking: Monitor campaign popularity (LockBit, BlackCat, etc.)
3. Incident Response: See if your breach is trending publicly
4. Content Strategy: Identify hot security topics for timely blog posts
