Team Cymru

Security teams strive to outpace threats, but their efforts are often hindered by fragmented data, time-intensive manual processes, and a lack of actionable insights. These obstacles can delay critical responses and leave organizations vulnerable to sophisticated attacks. By integrating Team Cymru’s intelligence feeds into Cyware’s Threat Intelligence Exchange, security teams can overcome these challenges with an operationalized approach to threat intelligence. This seamless collaboration enables accelerated defense by providing unparalleled visibility, enriched context, and actionable insights, empowering teams to detect and mitigate threats with unmatched efficiency.

A Tale of Two Customers: The Value of Pre-Integrated Threat Intelligence

To illustrate the transformative potential of this partnership, consider two organizations:

• Customer A adopts Cyware Intel Exchange with Team Cymru’s intelligence feeds pre-integrated.
• Customer B continues to operate with separate tools and fragmented data sources, relying on manual processes to piece together threat intelligence.

After three months, Customer B faces inefficiencies caused by disjointed systems, struggles to prioritize relevant threat data, and lacks the automation needed for rapid responses. Security analysts spend excessive time correlating data and integrating multiple feeds, which delays their ability to mitigate threats effectively. Meanwhile, Customer A leverages Cyware’s seamless integration to streamline workflows, automate data enrichment, and enable faster, more accurate threat investigations—all while staying within budget.

This comparison highlights two critical dimensions of value:

1. Observed Value: Enhanced capabilities for threat detection, investigation, and blocking through rich and contextual threat data.
2. Unobserved Value: Reduction in complexity, resource allocation, and total cost of ownership (TCO).

How Integrated Intelligence Simplifies and Accelerates Security

Cyware Intel Exchange, bundled with Team Cymru’s threat feeds, is the only Threat Intelligence Platform with near real-time visibility into botnets, malware, and external malicious activity. It simplifies threat intelligence management and investigation while accelerating defensive actions against sophisticated adversaries.

Key Features of the Integration

Team Cymru Botnet Analysis and Reporting (BARS) Threat Feed

• Provides actionable intelligence on botnets, malware, and DDoS campaigns.
• Tracks over 450,000 unique IPs daily and analyzes roughly 50 million unique events.
• Delivers geolocation, victimology, campaign history, and malware family insights.

Team Cymru Controller Feed

• Real-time identification of botnet command-and-control (C2) infrastructure.
• Tracks 40+ malware families and 40,000 unique IPs daily.
• Includes detailed attributes such as malware hashes, domain names, and confidence scores for actionable context.

Addressing Customer Challenges

Organizations often face significant challenges, including limited situational awareness that hampers their ability to gain timely visibility into malicious infrastructure. Operational inefficiencies further complicate matters, as manual processes for ingesting and analyzing threat intelligence consume valuable time and resources. These issues are compounded by resource constraints, making it difficult to manage the cost and complexity of engaging multiple vendors. Additionally, the lack of contextual insight hinders organizations from effectively prioritizing threats and transitioning from a reactive to a proactive defense posture.

Key Benefits of the Integration

Security teams can achieve significant benefits by leveraging the integration of Cyware Intel Exchange and Team Cymru’s advanced threat feeds. These advantages are designed to address the most pressing challenges in threat intelligence management and defense. Here are the key benefits:

1. Accelerated Time-to-Action: Eliminates months of effort required to integrate and operationalize threat data.
2. Enhanced Situational Awareness: Near real-time visibility into malicious activity from botnets, malware, and C2 servers.
3. Simplified Vendor Management: Consolidates threat feed procurement and management into a single platform.
4. Optimized Investments: Maximizes ROI by combining multiple threat feeds into a unified, comprehensive platform.
