What We’re Up Against

Organizations must ensure their threat intelligence is accurate, timely, and seamlessly integrated into existing security operations. Missed or delayed intelligence can result in devastating breaches, and ineffective integration can nullify valuable insights.

  • Timeliness and Accuracy of Data

    Old or inaccurate threat data exposes organizations to emerging attacks. If intelligence is outdated, organizations can miss the signs of new threats. Inaccurate data can lead to wasted time on false positives or missed real threats. With cyberattacks happening in real-time, timely and precise intelligence is essential to stay ahead.
  • Integration and Interoperability

    Threat intelligence must fit smoothly into existing security tools and workflows. Complex environments with multiple security platforms require seamless integration. Without it, operational efficiency is disrupted, leading to slower responses. Seamless integration ensures that organizations get the most out of their existing tools and intelligence.
  • Data Overload and Relevance

    This sheer volume of information can make it challenging to distinguish between critical threats and irrelevant noise. Without proper filtering and contextualization, important threat indicators may be missed, leaving organizations vulnerable to attacks. Security teams need intelligence that not only alerts them to adversary activity, but also empowers them with information to guide clear decision making and informed threat response.
  • Evasion of Traditional Security Controls

    While traditional EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response), firewalls, and antivirus solutions play a vital role in identifying and mitigating threats at the endpoint level, they are not foolproof. Attackers often use C2 channels to maintain control over compromised systems, issue commands, and exfiltrate data—activities that can be challenging for EDR to detect on its own, especially when sophisticated evasion techniques are employed.

Use Cases

Real-World Intel

InSights empowers security teams to proactively detect and respond to a wide range of cyberthreats. From monitoring attacker command and control (C2) channels and identifying malicious infrastructure to enriching security data and ensuring regulatory compliance, InSights delivers actionable intelligence tailored to your organization’s needs. By leveraging these capabilities, you can enhance your defense strategies, mitigate risks, and stay ahead of evolving threats.

  • Monitor for Attacker Command and Control (C2) Channels

    Leverage InSights C2 feed to detect and block adversary infrastructure, preventing data exfiltration and further attacks during the post-exploit phase.

    When threat actors manage to bypass traditional defense measures like EDR and reach the C2 phase of their attack, MetaDefender InSights adds a critical layer of defense, ensuring you have the information you need to stop them from executing.

  • Identify Attacker Infrastructure

    Detect adversary-operated infrastructure, including malicious domains, VPNs, cloud abuse, and malware staging, to disrupt attacks at the source.

    Threat vectors are numerous and complex; MetaDefender InSights pinpoints incoming threat actors’ source of attack, ensuring they can be identified and stopped before execution.

    It can also provide your team with the capability to detect threat actor activity in the critical post-exploit phase, enabling identification of evasive threats that have gained a foothold and might otherwise avoid detection.

  • Enrichment and Contextualization

    Enhance your security data with detailed threat descriptions, classifications, and reputation scoring for better threat prioritization and response.

    Where does your organization fit into the threat landscape? MetaDefender InSights arms you with the information you need to better understand the potential for attack.

  • Regulatory Compliance

    Meet cybersecurity compliance requirements with threat intelligence that demonstrates due diligence and supports industry-specific regulatory frameworks.

    MetaDefender InSights helps organizations stay compliant with key regulations: PCI-DSS, GDPR, HIPPA, NIST, FISMA, SOX, ISO/IEC 27001, FINRA, SWIFT CSCF, SOC, and more.

Integrations and Interfaces

Seamless Integration

InSights is designed to integrate effortlessly with a wide array of cybersecurity platforms and tools, with JSON formatted feeds that are accessible from web API endpoints. We ensure that organizations can leverage the full potential of real-time threat intelligence without disrupting their existing workflows. By integrating InSights with SIEM, SOAR, XDR, TIP, and more, organizations gain access to curated, actionable intelligence directly within the tools they already use to defend against cyberthreats.

  • MetaDefender Core Integration

    Extend MetaDefender Core with the ability to detect high risk files by identifying known malicious network indicators with MetaDefender InSights threat intelligence.

  • Detect Evasive Malware with Intelligence-Driven Insight

    Malware distributors may utilize various methods to protect their code from detection. But by leveraging multiple approaches to identifying malicious intent, even obscure and evasive malware can be detected. MetaDefender InSights integrates directly in MetaDefender Core to detect malicious files through extracted network artifacts with continually updated threat intelligence data.

  • Unlock Analytical Depth Using Powerful IOC Extraction

    By extracting network artifacts from files, MetaDefender Core surfaces data from inner file layers, enriches it, and reports which MetaDefender InSights threat intelligence feeds contain matching indicators. This empowers analysts by combining file-based analysis with unique infrastructure intelligence, speeding up triage and helping defenders protect critical environments with greater clarity.
