Maximize Threat Intelligence Value with Custom Scores in Intel Exchange

The ability to prioritize and efficiently handle threats is paramount. Cyware’s Intel Exchange enhances its powerful threat intel management feature with custom scores for threat data objects in the latest release of Intel Exchange v3.6.2.

By leveraging custom scores, organizations can tailor threat intelligence scoring based on specific parameters such as relevance, severity, and risk. This flexibility empowers analysts to prioritize their efforts, streamline threat processing, and improve decision-making.

Enhance Every Stage of the Threat Intelligence Lifecycle

Custom scores streamline the entire threat intelligence lifecycle—from ingestion and processing to actioning and dissemination—enabling analysts to make informed decisions and allocate resources efficiently.

Ingestion: When creating intel, security analysts can assign custom score values right at the point of ingestion. This immediate prioritization ensures that the most critical threats are recognized and flagged as soon as they enter the system.
Processing: During the processing phase, analysts can view and update custom score values. This flexibility allows for real-time adjustments based on new information or insights, ensuring that the scoring remains accurate and relevant as the threat landscape evolves.
Actioning: Custom scores can be used as conditions in rule configurations, enabling automated actions based on the scores of threat data objects. By automating responses based on custom scores, organizations can ensure that resources are allocated efficiently.
Intel Dissemination: When publishing threat intel, custom scores are included, providing subscribers with prioritized and comprehensive threat data. Sharing threat intel with custom scores helps improve collaborative defense strategies. Organizations can share detailed, prioritized threat information with partners and allies, facilitating better-informed decisions and collective action against common threats.

INTERVIEW: A Q&A with Jason Keirstead

I started working deeply with technology in middle school, after we got our first PC. I think it was less than a year before I started learning about things like the open-source movement and had installed FreeBSD on it. While going through university, although I was trying to focus on programming, I still ended up with a number of internships in the networking and network security spaces as well as working in open-source communities like the KDE project. After I graduated, I joined a start-up called Q1 Labs that had a product in the network security space (that IBM ended up acquiring in 2011 after we had assumed a leadership position in the SIEM market). Over the two decades at Q1 Labs/IBM I had a number of different roles, from UI Architect, to product owner, to Chief Architect, eventually the CTO of Threat Management.
