CyberArk Threat Research Blog
The CyberArk Threat Research Blog feed periodically pulls blog posts from the CyberArk Threat Research Blog and ingests them into ThreatQ as Report objects.
GET https://www.cyberark.com/resources/threat-research
This request returns HTML. The HTML is parsed for the title, author, date, links, etc. The blog itself is then fetched.
