Intel 471, a global provider of cyber intelligence-driven solutions, and Sumo Logic, a leading SaaS Log Analytics Platform, have announced a strategic partnership to integrate Intel 471’s threat intelligence directly into Sumo Logic’s platform. This collaboration aims to enhance customer protection against sophisticated cyberattacks by improving the ability to proactively neutralize threats and provide predictive analytics.
The integration is designed to significantly reduce an attacker’s dwell time within systems by offering insights into the cyber-criminal underground. This move comes as targeted data exfiltration has seen a notable increase, rising to 59% over the past year, according to a recent SANS survey. The partnership enables Sumo Logic customers to access Intel 471’s intelligence gathering capabilities and threat actor tracking.
Brandon Hoffman, Chief Strategy Officer at Intel 471, stated, “In today’s threat landscape, comprehensive visibility and understanding of adversarial behaviors is critical for organizations to accurately protect their networks. Intel 471 is recognized for providing an insider’s view into pre-attack planning through deeper visibility into the tactics, techniques, and procedures used by threat actors. By sharing these insights, we equip security teams with the information necessary to maintain an advantage in the ongoing cybersecurity efforts.”
Sumo Logic’s Threat Intelligence solution is designed to help organizations operationalize various threat sources and enrich detections with global context to accelerate threat identification. Its Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution integrates out-of-the-box threat feeds, user-provided feeds, and open standards like STIX/TAXII, delivering broad threat insights at machine speed. The combination of Sumo Logic’s SIEM with Intel 471’s strategic threat intelligence is expected to enable security operations teams to develop robust defense mechanisms capable of anticipating and preventing zero-day threats.
Keith Kuchler, Chief Development Officer at Sumo Logic, commented, “The digital complexity and escalating cyber risks in today’s threat landscape present a critical challenge for organizations worldwide. Our new multi-feed product capabilities, powered by this integration with Intel 471, facilitate a proactive defense against emerging threats. This integration reinforces our commitment to providing organizations with enhanced speed and accuracy for threat analysis and mitigation by delivering actionable intelligence at the right time and in the right format.”
