Bitdefender joins hands with ThreatQuotient to ensure robust response to threats

Bitdefender today announced a strategic partnership with ThreatQuotient to incorporate Bitdefender Advanced Threat Intelligence into the ThreatQ Platform. The partnership provides ThreatQuotient customers including enterprises with a security operation center (SOC), managed security services providers (MSSPs) and managed detection and response (MDR) providers greater visibility across the global threat landscape to enable detection that is more accurate resulting in accelerated response to threats.

“The proprietary real-time threat intelligence provided by Bitdefender strengthens our clients’ ability to accurately detect, assess and validate emerging threats so they can take faster actions to eliminate them from environments,” said Jonathan Couch, senior vice president strategy at ThreatQuotient. “Bitdefender is recognized globally for having best-in-class threat intelligence and threat detection capabilities validated by MITRE and other leading independent testing organizations. ThreatQ customers will have contextualized insights on advanced persistent threats (APTs), malicious email campaigns and other dangers under one centralized view to quickly assess, validate and respond. Our collaboration has proved invaluable to our customers by increasing visibility into malicious campaigns as threat frequency and sophistication continues to rise.”

ThreatQuotient integrates Bitdefender’s threat intelligence feeds including file hashes, IP addresses and domains associated with advanced persistent threats (APTs); domains associated with malware; IP addresses associated with attacker command and control (C&C) servers; and phishing campaigns. Security teams using the ThreatQ platform incorporate these feeds based on specific threat detection needs leveraging easy to use and configure integration. Security Operation Centers (SOCs) and internal security teams receive all the latest threat updates without having to change configurations or write new software code.

Bitdefender Advanced Threat Intelligence is powered by the Bitdefender Global Protective Network (GPN), an extensive network of hundreds of millions of sensors continuously collecting endpoint threat data worldwide. Bitdefender Labs, an elite team of security practitioners, correlates GPN data against known indicators of compromise (IOCs), malware, malicious domains and URLs and performs deep analysis to discover unknown threats. This telemetry coupled with human and automated analysis results in hundreds of newly discovered threats each minute, validation of billions of threat queries daily and less false positives for security teams.

Bitdefender Advanced Threat Intelligence for the ThreatQ Platform is available now.
