DETECT AND DEFEND AGAINST BREACHES AND DATA LEAKS
An organization’s data is valuable – and cyber threat actors are continuously evolving to breach, steal, and exploit it. From Software supply chain attacks to ransomware operators utilizing double extortion tactics, high-impact breach incidents now routinely make headline news, lending new urgency for organizations to detect potential breaches and leaks faster than ever before.
Intel 471’s top-tier cyber threat intelligence (CTI) gives organizations the head start they need to perform rapid mitigating actions to secure compromised data or networks before attackers can use them to fuel cybercriminal activity. We provide unmatched visibility of data leaks and breaches.
Alongside collections from data extortion leak blogs and marketplaces, our intelligence team has infiltrated the closed spaces where attacks are planned and compromised data is traded, earning the trust of adversaries there to bring you early insight from where others only bring suspicion. With intelligence direct from the frontline, we distill the motivations and capabilities of adversaries to help customers dramatically reduce the impact of breaches.
The evolution of malware-as-a-service (MaaS) has industrialized the threat landscape — attacks are more frequent, more sophisticated, and easier for anyone who has the money to spend. Intel 471’s Malware Intelligence provides high-fidelity indicators of compromise (IOCs), malware behaviors, and real-time insights from the command-and-control (C2) level to hunt and disrupt a breach before it can escalate.
WHERE RANSOMWARE STRIKES, BREACHES FOLLOW - BREAK THE CHAIN
The prolific threat of ransomware attacks is becoming increasingly tied to data breaches thanks to the ever-increasing use of double-extortion by ransomware attackers. Double extortion involves the attacker exfilrating a victim’s data, rather than just encrypting it, to capitalize on the threat of publicly leaking the data or trading on the cyber underground. Indeed, Verizon’s 2025 Data Breach Investigation’s report (DBIR) revealed that ransomware was involved in 44% of the breaches it examined.
It is clear: protection against data breaches cannot be achieved without simultaneously protecting against ransomware attacks. Intel 471’s continuous monitoring of data leak blogs, vulnerabilities being exploited, potential third-party breaches, and threat actor conversations helps organizations anticipate and detect ransomware threats. We also provide intelligence-driven hunt tools necessary for proactive threat hunting to identify the precursors of ransomware attacks and reduce dwell time.
OUTPACE ADVERSARIES WITH INTEL 471
Intel 471’s fully contextualized CTI arms you with all you need to proactively protect your organization against data and network breaches in near-real time. Our intelligence connecting malware, vulnerabilities, adversaries, and attack surfaces help to position cyber defense teams ahead of the attacker.
Enhance Leak and Breach Detection
Gain comprehensive visibility of the places where data leaks and breaches are discussed and shared, including data leak sites, dump shops, marketplaces, closed forums, and private instant messaging groups and channels. Any exposure relating to your domains, IPs, and your third parties are immediately surfaced for your rapid remediation.
Timely Alerts
Enhance proactive prevention, detection and response with near-real-time alerts of compromised networks, credentials, payment card details, intellectual property and more. Gain access to the closed spaces and conversations where attacks are planned that enable track threat actors and their actions. We provide pre-warnings of an attack, giving you the critical head start you need to defend your organization against attempted breaches.
Context-Enriched Remediation
Cut through noise and gain a deeper understanding of threats to enhance your investigations and remediation. Pivot seamlessly between alerts, dashboards, and intelligence reports. Take decisive action to contain a breach or identify its root cause with OCR and logo recognition, deep insight into adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), attack attribution, and credential contextualization.
Apply Malware Intelligence
Intel 471’s near-real time surveillance of malware and threat actor activity delivers deep insights and context into malware operations. Our patented Malware Emulation and Tracking System (METS) provides insight at the C2 level to deliver real-time technical indicators, exposing malware behavior and adversary movements to stop exfiltration in its tracks. Rapidly deploy intelligence-driven threat hunts from our HUNTER threat hunting platform that help your teams investigate and identify malicious behaviors missed by detections for known threats. .
Defend Against Ransomware Attacks
Utilize Credential and Vulnerability Intelligence to understand how ransomware actors gain access to your networks, identify compromised credentials within your organization and your third parties, and prioritize vulnerability remediation by knowing those that ransomware actors are most likely to target. Adversary Intelligence enables the tracking ransomware as a service (RaaS) actors as they evolve their brand, TTPS, and relationships with other actors so that you can stay ahead of their plans.
Map and Manage Your Attack Surface
Move beyond a static impression of your attack surface by continuously mapping your external attack surface. By reducing your attack surface through the identification of misconfigurations, high-risk CVEs, accidentally exposed information and other vulnerabilities, you can proactively prevent attackers from accessing or exploiting your data.
