Contains a huge amount of information regarding deep web and dark web, reducing investigation times
In the search engine, you are able to use operators. These operators allow you to do specific searches or open searches. The main things are: * If you want to search everything related to a specific malware family but you don't want to have anything related to specific search. So, you can just upload it from the search engine and search for it. * If you only wanted to know about one specific vulnerability, but you don't care what is in Telegram or GitHub as repositories, then it will only care for these things in the dark web forums. You can narrow your search to that. * If you want only sites in Spanish, but not in other languages, you can narrow your search to that. There are a lot of possibilities when using the search engine. It has become really useful for my analysts. The solution has enabled us to access sources that we have not seen anywhere else, such as Telegram. It also gives us access to the Genesis Marketplace. Otherwise, we would have to pay someone for that. However, with Cybersixgill, we can go to the platform and search for whatever we want.

Easy to deploy, scalable, but the UI needs work
We use the solution for LLC merchants, threat advisories, and research The solution is adding a more contextually rich and higher fidelity enrichment to our IOCs. Integration is the most valuable feature. The web front end of the UI is a bit clunky and has room for improvement. I would like a…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"They also provide some of the greatest notification capabilities. I put in a customer's company name and domain names, or sometimes I put in their IP addresses as a keyword. Once Sixgill collects information that includes those keywords, they then provide us email notifications. That means we can catch information related to our customers as soon as possible."
"To be diligent for the customer, we usually go into Cybersixgill Investigative Portal to analyze and search things. The solution tells us the reputation of cyber threat actors. So, if someone has a reputation of one, it is a really bad idea to care about what that person is saying. However, if you find someone with a reputation of nine, then there is a high probability that we need to address the problem. You can get information about these type of actors in Cybersixgill Investigative Portal. They have a huge collection, which is like having the rules/goals of the dark web and deep web without having to go there. Our analysts avoid going dark web because they have Cybersixgill Investigative Portal and can get the news from their browser, searching wherever they want."
"The advanced analysis has made our security operations more efficient. It has also potentially given us quicker access to data that we might not have otherwise located."
"The solution’s approach of using limited open source intelligence and focusing, instead, on the Deep Web and Dark Web is what seals the deal. That is why I like them. I have other tools that I can aggregate all the open source intelligence from. I value Cybersixgill because it provides access to things that no one else does."
"Integration is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"We need real-time updated information. If we could have this, it would be amazing. For example, if someone was posting something, then ten second later, it was on the platform. Sometimes, it takes a minute or hours right now, depending on the forum."
"Regarding their scraping abilities, things could be solidified. There are definitely improvements that could be made on the specificity for setting certain queries."
"Sixgill has strong capabilities based on search queries, but there is some difficulty in using Sixgill. Their querying is very powerful but it can be difficult. It's not hugely complex but you need some skill to use Sixgill querying."
"The breadth of access to data is good, but there are gaps. More data would be my suggestion because the platform is good and I have no complaints about the system. I think it is just a case of always trying to get more data sources."
"I would like a more universal search."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is cheap compared with Recorded Future. Sixgill's cost-effectiveness is very good."
"The pricing and licensing are good. It is expensive for us because the US dollar is quite strong compared to our dollar. Otherwise, it is quite reasonable for what it is. All the tools in the market are around the same price from my experience."
"Sometimes, Cybersixgill Investigative Portal is cheaper than its competitors."

What needs improvement with Flashpoint Intelligence Platform?
The web front end of the UI is a bit clunky and has room for improvement. I would like a more universal search. The search seems limited to the section we're in versus a more global holistic search.
What is your primary use case for Flashpoint Intelligence Platform?
We use the solution for LLC merchants, threat advisories, and research.
