There is no silver bullet for network security. Security professionals know that truly protecting their network and its assets requires three things:

1. First, security should be approached as a practice and a discipline.

2. Second, there is no single solution for protecting the entirety of an organization’s networks.

3. Third, the products deployed to secure today’s highly disparate networks should work together in an automated and integrated fashion.

However, with the amount of solutions available, this is no easy task. At Threater, we understand that providing our customers with a market leading threat intelligence solution is not enough. This is why the Threater Threat Intelligence Gateway (TIG) was built with automation and integration as a critical component of its DNA.

Harness the Power of Automated Integration Utilizing the Threater REACT™ Capability

Threater TIG is an open platform that easily integrates with other security solutions by delivering automated blocking of IPs from other security devices. The Threater REACT™ capability enables Threater TIG to automatically ingest malicious IPs from other security systems including SIEMs, Security Orchestration Automation & Response (SOAR) solutions, NGFWs, IPS, endpoint, and other security controls.

Threater TIG with other security controls, enabling automated and semi-automated blocking of malicious IPs detected by these systems. Once configured, organizations can also manually add entries to REACT™ utilizing the Threater Global Management Center (GMC). REACT™ enables organizations to:

  • Integrate alerts from other devices within their security stack (SIEM, FW, IPS, physical security solutions)
  • Configure and manage threat feed actions, such as configuring Time-To-Life values (i.e. 24 hrs/1 week/forever)
  • Enjoy greater control of their threat feeds, including false positive mitigation and tuning of the REACT™ threat list, utilizing the easy to use, single-pane-of-glass Global Management Center (GMC)
