Intelligence must change a decision

A feed of indicators is not intelligence unless it changes what you monitor, block, patch or investigate. Start with the decisions a website owner actually controls.

Monitor the attack surface

Track domains, subdomains, certificates, exposed services and cloud assets. Alert on newly discovered hosts, unexpected DNS changes and technologies with known exploited vulnerabilities.

Watch for stolen access

Monitor credential leaks and infostealer logs for corporate identities and customer-facing accounts. Force resets, revoke sessions and investigate the source rather than only changing passwords.

Detect brand abuse

Look for typosquatted domains, cloned login pages and fake support profiles. Maintain a rapid takedown and customer-notification process.

Patch with context

Prioritize vulnerabilities that are internet exposed, exploited in the wild and reachable in your architecture. CVSS alone does not represent actual risk.

Close the loop

  • Collect only sources tied to defined decisions
  • Enrich signals with asset ownership and exposure
  • Assign actions and deadlines
  • Measure whether repeated threats decline
