PhishMe Intelligence Integrates with Industry Leading Threat Intelligence Platforms (TIPs)
Swimming in a sea of threat intelligence indicators and services, security teams have been working towards effective ways to centralize, de-duplicate, and correlate massive amounts of threat data. The challenge is once this is done, acting on the what matters most. This requires intelligence, not just data.
This is why PhishMe has completed technical integrations with TIP partners Anomali™ and ThreatConnect®. These integrations offer security teams the ability to ingest and correlate phishing-specific indicators with easy-to-act-on impact ratings and contextual reports to make confident security and business decisions.
PhishMe Intelligence customers gain from our human-verified phishing intelligence. What does this mean? It means that our customers receive phishing indicators from daily criminal phishing campaigns such as compromised IP addresses, domains, URLs, hashes, and botnet and command and control infrastructure. These indicators and credible intelligence reports are meticulously maintained and verified by PhishMe security researchers. Customers receive expert phishing intelligence that connects indicators with threat actors’ infrastructure so that security teams can confidently act quickly and accurately in their investigations.
PhishMe precisely delivers timely indicators and intelligence about ransomware, business email compromise, credential-stealing phish, and other malware. It is the timeliness and accuracy that is so crucial because the longer it takes security teams to determine the impact and severity of the threat, the more time the attacker has to plot their next move and achieve their mission.
When PhishMe designates an indicator with a major impact rating, teams can heed this warning and confidently take action. PhishMe doesn’t just tell security teams what is malicious, we explain why something is malicious. This is the context that allows analysts to act on the data analyzed and enriched by trustworthy PhishMe researchers.
PhishMe also helps answer the never-ending question; “is this a threat to my business”? The Active Threat Reports are contextually-rich reports that illustrate threat actor tactics and the neighboring criminal infrastructure that supports their operation. The reports take “so what” about an indicator, and provide an inside-out view of the threat actor and tactics.
Security analysts spend less time deducing and more time executing.
Security teams invest in TIPs as a way of bringing multiple sources of data into a centralized location that can be correlated and then distributed to other systems as part of the workflow. Open source, paid subscription, and industry-specific intelligence exchanges, all provide a useful purpose in managing threats to the business. The difficulty is managing vast amounts of data and ensuring a low signal-to-noise ratio. As such, TIPs emerged to support the endless need for data analysis and decisive action.
PhishMe Intelligence product management and solution engineers collaborated with TIP providers to complete technical integrations suited for security teams accountable for defending the business.
Conclusion
TIPs emerged to help security analysts who are inundated with so much information and the need to centrally manage it. They’ve become a concentrated repository for security teams to ingest, de-duplicate, analyze, and act on the indicators received. PhishMe’s technical partnerships with Anomali and ThreatConnect, will help ensure that the quality of intelligence available is second to none when it comes to indicators of phishing. Phishing is the primary vector of compromise and oftentimes leads to data loss. Consuming human-vetted phishing intelligence into a TIP ensures security teams can be confident in the action they take to protect their business.
