What is a GreyNoise tag?
GreyNoise tags are a signature-based detection method used to identify actors, tools, and CVEs in our data. Tags provide key contextual understanding of the activity/behaviors observed from a particular IP address, offering insight into the intention of the activity originating from it. This helps in threat detection, response, and overall cybersecurity analysis. Understanding tag activity patterns will also help enhance threat assessment exercises and defense plans.
