New Product Simplifies the Distribution, Consumption, and Actionability of Threat Intel, Improves Analyst Efficiency, and Drives Faster, More Informed Cyber Defense
Arlington, VA, September 10, 2024 – ThreatConnect, maker of leading Threat Intelligence Operations (TI Ops) and Risk Quantification (RQ) solutions, announced today that it has launched Polarity Intel Edition (PIE). Designed to simplify and accelerate the use of threat intelligence to improve cyber defenses, this new product smooths the flow of actionable information between the teams who analyze and produce intel and those who utilize it to make decisions.
Following its recent acquisition of Polarity, this new product is the first to deliver new and unique value to customers based on synergies between the companies’ offerings. By integrating seamlessly with the ThreatConnect TI Ops Platform, Polarity Intel Edition enables CTI teams to quickly and easily surface relevant, actionable intelligence and insights to SOC, IR, hunt, and vulnerability management analysts at the point of analysis and decision.
Polarity Intel Edition (PIE) provides:
- Federated Search for an essential set of threat intelligence and enrichment data sources for insights and contextualization (e.g. ThreatConnect, other commercial and open source threat intel platforms, premium intel providers, VirusTotal, Shodan, etc).
- Frictionless access to the aggregated intel in TI Ops, including the AI-powered CAL Automated Threat library. Supports adding new intel and updating existing intel directly via PIE.
- AI Assistant in Polarity to interface with approved GenAI LLMs to significantly reduce the time it takes for analysts to gain insights and take action.
Unlike traditional approaches to disseminating threat intelligence, which require logging into various TI systems or building complex integrations, Polarity Intel Edition provides analysts with access to real-time and contextual threat intel without ever leaving their pane of glass. PIE puts intel consumers first, making it easy for them to operationalize high-fidelity intelligence—when and where they need it—through a single interface. The new product eliminates the need to manage credentials and switch between platforms to access intelligence, streamlining your workflow and saving time to enable quicker decision-making and response.
“Every SecOps organization wants to be threat-informed,” said Andy Pendergast, EVP of Product at ThreatConnect. “But it’s always been a challenge for them to access the intel they need when they need it most. With Polarity Intel Edition, we’re removing the friction, improving analyst efficiency, and enabling a vastly improved security posture for our customers.”
Polarity Intel Edition is now available as a cost-effective add-on module for all ThreatConnect TI Ops customers and for organizations using legacy threat intelligence platforms.
