A threat intelligence platform aiming to enhance its intelligence

It falls under the category of AI-embedded threat intelligence, which makes detection more efficient by reducing the rate of false positives and improving the overall detection rate. When the threat intelligence alone doesn’t provide enough information, we use other methods to verify the threat. For example, IBM has its threat intelligence team and tools. If the threat intelligence doesn’t yield much information, the tool has a framework that can identify suspicious activity. We then use our judgment and experience to implement compensating controls, whether for a potentially malicious patch, IP address, or any other threat. Customers benefit from it, even if they’re not directly integrating it. Through our service, they receive the benefits of the integration. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Integration is the most valuable feature."

"It's quite integratable so you can actually integrate and get IP malware and URL information. It also gives you some form of intelligence into what you're trying to investigate or what you're trying to understand."

"The most valuable feature is you have the expertise of human experience directly involved. There is a team of experts."

"This product has helped to increase staff productivity."

Cons

"I would like a more universal search."

"We would like to have more AI capabilities to detect threats and improve its productivity from a cybersecurity standpoint."

"You have to look for the new information from X-Force. X-Force will provide it but you have to look for it. We need clearer visibility."

"I would like to see better integration with other systems, solutions, and vendors."
