Cyberattacks pose growing risks to critical infrastructure and digital security, but defenses typically react only after incidents occur. Researchers Mohammad Hammas Saeed and Howie Huang from George Washington University, along with colleagues, introduce SENTINEL, a groundbreaking framework for proactively spotting emerging cyber threats.

The team shows that Telegram discussions reveal early warning signals, as attackers and cybersecurity experts share intel and coordinate there. SENTINEL analyzes language patterns and coordination markers in these chats, accurately linking online talks to real-world attacks.

This approach marks a leap in predictive cybersecurity by tapping open-source intelligence from social platforms like Telegram, enabling anticipation and mitigation of threats before they escalate.
