[In the Know] Understanding threatER Collect

04.23.2024

Threater’s Collect is a free intelligence aggregation solution to give you a full view of your threat intelligence feeds and lists. By aggregating this information, it can then be fed to the rest of the security stack tools for a widened view of the threat landscape. 

Cyber intelligence is the beating heart of cybersecurity. It informs everything, from the tools to the team to the processes themselves. It’s not a secret that the wider your view of the threat landscape, the better you can defend your network. 

Cyber intelligence comes from a variety of sources: government, commercial platforms, and open source are a few of them. However, in order to make the intelligence usable, it needs to be centralized in one place. This is where Collect comes in: it’s line speed intelligence aggregation available to anyone at no cost

Collect’s intelligence aggregation powers are what give Enforce the intelligence to block threats. In order to help you understand what Collect does, we made this quick video tour. 

Centralize Your Cyber Intelligence 

Collect streamlines the process of managing cyber intelligence by bringing all your data together in one place. Whether you’re tapping into industry-specific cyber intelligence feeds, managing your own lists, or integrating other external sources, Collect ensures all your lists are accessible and at your fingertips.

Quick Onboarding and Intuitive Interface:

Getting started with Collect is a breeze. Simply visit our Collect page, sign up for a free account, and you’re in. Once inside, you’ll find a user-friendly interface that provides real-time insights into your aggregated intelligence. This is a central view of all your intelligence feeds, lists, and sources.

View Intelligence Coverage with Intelligence Overlap Matrix:

Our List Overlap Matrix gives you a visual snapshot of how your intelligence lists intersect. The higher the numbers in the matrix, the more overlap of indicators there are. It’s extremely rare to have much overlap, which highlights the importance of a wide, varied view of the threat landscape to inform your tools and feeds. 

Flexible List Creation and Export Options:

Having intelligence is good, but what you do with them is what matters. Collect can export your lists in CSV or JSON formats, ensuring compatibility with your existing security tools. These aggregated indicators can help inform blocking decisions from other tools such as the firewall. 

Marketplace for Premium Intelligence Feeds:

Whether you need additional industry-specific feeds or want more intelligence feeds, our integrated Marketplace is available for you and can hook into Collect straight from the platform.
