Every week, another major breach captures the headlines. Dozens of less newsworthy acts of data theft occur. Every day, the invisible seeds of new breaches are planted – steps in the sequence of events that might result in next week’s news. Direct and indirect losses can be huge -- in damage to reputation, fines imposed, and costs associated with fraud and other compensatory costs.
Cybercrime is evolving more rapidly than ever before, is more multi-layered, and is often aimed at very specific targets. Detection requires connecting the dots between multiple symptoms, and the ability to monitor for anomalous behavior over time. In this atmosphere, there is increasing demand for up-to-date threat information. Security analysts subscribe to various threat feeds, hoping to be better prepared with the right defenses.
But most threat intelligence can’t be effectively utilized. Some data sources provide the limited function of updating specific anti-virus, IDS, or other security tools. Other data – such as blacklists or phishing site lists – provide important, but partial information, in both structured and unstructured formats. The fragmented nature of this “intelligence” makes it anything but intelligent; it’s hard to decipher, and virtually impossible to mold into a coherent picture that’s relevant to your own environment and risk factors.
Vigilant’s Collective Threat Intelligence™ (CTI) Services solve this problem by providing advanced awareness of cyberthreats through a single, enriched feed, integrated directly into your security monitoring infrastructure, now available as part of
Fusion for SIEM managed services, or as a standalone subscription. Here’s how it provides rich, actionable and context-aware threat intelligence:
- Over 30 global threat information sources compiled into one intelligence data warehouse;
- Automated enrichment routines de-duplicate, correlate, normalize, validate and prioritize the information, and augments it with human analysis;
- Actionable integration of aggregated intelligence feeds into industry leading SIEM tools, or feeds can be purchased separately in standard formats (i.e. CSV, XLM, RSS);
- Specially-designed SIEM uses cases for threat intelligence, part of Vigilant's Fulcrum Framework, harness SIEM’s robust correlation and workflow management capabilities.

Collective Threat Intelligence Services correlate your internal security intelligence with dynamic external security intelligence, made actionable through Fulcrum Framework CTI use cases. The result is a dynamic, automated solution, customized to your environment, that improves your ability to detect and analyze suspicious activity across the entire infrastructure, empowering you and your team to better safeguard your organization's critical assets in the face of ever-changing cybercrime techniques.
