Threat Intelligence API: Walking the Cybersecurity Talk

To many, threat intelligence still sounds like a strange term. Some specialists even claim that it’s not for every business out there and recommend either adopting it correctly or abstaining altogether… and they might have a point.

The truth is that failing to deploy threat intelligence the right way is like painting with a broad brush with no idea of the bigger picture. Adding to this is the fact that making informed decisions in the world of cybersecurity requires you to have the necessary data close at hand.

The good news is that software such as Threat Intelligence API allows actionable data to be readily integrated into various processes and solutions. This product is composed of six sub-APIs: Domain’s Infrastructure Analysis, SSL Certificate Chain, SSL Configuration Analysis, Domain Malware Check, Connected Domains, and Domain Reputation. Each of them provides specifics on specific areas of the host’s infrastructure.

Perhaps it’s time to reconsider conventional cybersecurity approaches, and here’s where a practice known as threat hunting comes in. When deployed correctly, it becomes a powerful weapon in the battle against cybercrime. Let’s find out how.
