InQuest, renowned for in-depth file analysis of malware and threat intelligence that draws from a rich tapestry of both open-source and proprietary sources, is thrilled to announce a new integration with ThreatConnect’s TI Ops Platform. With this integration, InQuest’s critical indicators of compromise (IOCs) are instantly accessible for downstream use by popular SIEMs, endpoint, network, and cloud security tools. This enhances an organization’s threat detection and prevention capabilities and provides CTI analysts with dynamic updates for their Threat Library in ThreatConnect’s Platform.
Unique Insights for a Rapidly Evolving Landscape
InQuest’s InSights has carved a unique position for itself by offering unmatched visibility into indicators extracted from comprehensive file-based analyses. Spanning across its customer base, alliances, and proprietary analysis platforms, the intelligence gleaned provides security teams with insights into real-world attacks. Particularly, these insights emphasize threats from advanced actors known for their evasion tactics and penchant for targeting high-stakes sectors.
Powered by Internal Cutting-Edge Sources
Several internal sources lie at the heart of InQuest’s state-of-the-art threat intelligence feeds, including the InQuest InSights C2 Feed, InQuest InSights TI Feed, InQuest Labs RepDB, InQuest Labs IOCDB, and InQuest Labs DFIDB. InQuest InSights C2 Feed is dedicated to spotlighting InQuest’s innovative analysis on malware command and control (C2) infrastructure. This feed is primarily composed of the output of InQuest’s threat intelligence analyst work product as well as proprietary sources that are worked in conjunction. The InQuest InSights TI Feed is composed of indicators relating to adversary infrastructure used for malware staging, phishing, VPN and proxy endpoints, and attack origination including mail delivery, scanning and exploitation, and network penetration. This feed includes data from InQuest intelligence analysis and its partner networks. InQuest Labs RepDB is a robust collection of reputation data leveraged by the InQuest TI team to validate and contextualize InQuest Threat Intelligence. It consists of two dozen of the most trusted reputation datasets available privately and commercially as well as output of InQuest’s state-of-the-art Deep File Inspection® (DFI) technology. InQuest Labs IOCDB is a rich OSINT focused feed that contains hundreds of sources pulled from the Internet filtered and contextualized to provide high-quality indicators and data in a timely manner. InQuest Labs DFIDB is composed of indicators extracted from publicly shared files as well as files uploaded to labs.inquest.net for analysis by InQuest DFI file analysis.
Together, the synthesis of reputation data, open source intelligence, and unparalleled data from InQuest’s file and infrastructure analyses presents a panoramic and in-depth understanding of the contemporary threat landscape.
