Bitdefender Advanced Threat Intelligence is now available as part of the ThreatQ platform. Actionable threat intelligence enables better decisions and more efficient security processes. For Security Operation Center (SOC), Managed Detection and Response (MDR) and Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP).
Bitdefender today announced its strategic partnership with ThreatQuotient, a pioneer in security operations platforms. As a result, customers can now use Bitdefender Advanced Threat Intelligence for the ThreatQ platform. The partnership gives ThreatQuotient customers a better view of the threat landscape. Companies with Security Operation Centers (SOC), Managed Security Service Providers (MSSP) and Managed Detection and Response (MDR) providers benefit from this. You can recognize dangers more precisely and react to them more quickly.
SOC platform ThreatQuotient integrates feeds
ThreatQuotient integrates Bitdefender's threat intelligence feeds. Feeds are file hashes, IP addresses and domains that are correlated with Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) or malware. In addition, there are IP addresses that are associated with the attackers' command and control servers (C&C), as well as phishing campaigns.
The security teams that use the ThreatQ platform consider these information feeds in their entirety, taking into account customer and industry-specific requirements in order to detect threats. The integration is simple and user-friendly. Security Operation Center (SOC) and internal IT security teams in the company receive all the latest updates on the threat situation without having to change configurations or write new software code.
Bitdefender Advanced Threat Intelligence
Bitdefender Advanced Threat Intelligence relies on the Bitdefender Global Protective Network (GPN), an extensive network of hundreds of millions of sensors worldwide that are constantly collecting information at the endpoint. The experts at Bitdefender Labs compare the GPN data with known indicators of compromise (IOC) and information on malware, malicious domains and URLs. They also carry out in-depth analyzes to discover unknown dangers. With this combination of telemetry, human and automated analysis, hundreds of threats can be rediscovered every minute. Billions of searches every day are possible. At the same time, however, the number of false alarms decreases due to the overall assessment of the information.
Significantly decreasing false positives
Accurate and verifiable threat intelligence is critical to efficiently identifying and responding to threats. According to Gartner analysts, “Threat intelligence provides knowledge about who or what is on the other side and how those attackers are acting. Trying to defend yourself against everything with limited resources is a futile endeavor. Threat intelligence is necessary to protect organizations from all possible adversaries. This allows users to decide which opponents are actually relevant.”

“Bitdefender's proprietary real-time threat intelligence empowers our customers to accurately identify, assess and validate emerging risks. This allows them to take action faster to remove threats from their environments,” said Jonathan Couch, senior vice president, strategy at ThreatQuotient: “Bitdefender is known for excellent threat intelligence. This has been validated by MITER and other leading independent testing organizations. ThreatQ customers will get contextualized insights into Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), malicious email campaigns, and other threats in a single pane of glass. This allows them to quickly evaluate, validate and react to them. At a time when attacks continue to increase in frequency and sophistication, our collaboration has proven valuable to customers. Because they are now better able to recognize malicious campaigns.”
Cooperation with ThreatQuotient helps companies
“Our collaboration with ThreatQuotient helps organizations become more resilient to cyberattacks. And that despite the fact that attackers' methods of remaining undetected are becoming increasingly sophisticated,” said Andrei Florescu, Vice President of Product Management, Bitdefender Business Solutions Group. “Threat intelligence platforms like ThreatQ improve detection. Leaders are much better at assessing the security posture across operations and prioritizing SOC activities based on risk and potential impact.”
