Predictive threat intelligence data is vital in cyber attack detection as it enables organizations to anticipate and prepare for potential threats proactively. By analyzing patterns and trends, it predicts where and how future attacks might occur, allowing for early detection and mitigation before they escalate. This early warning system improves incident response times by providing actionable insights and helps prioritize threats based on their likelihood and severity. 

Additionally, it optimizes resource allocation by focusing efforts on the most significant threats, ultimately reducing potential damage and costs.

PowerDMARC’s integration with SecLytics is a leap forward in our AI-powered email security SaaS platform’s threat intelligence abilities. Through this integration, our end users and partners will enjoy: 

• Detailed Predictive Threat Intelligence 
• Evaluate the Risk Security Score of Your IP Addresses
• Gain Insight into Current & Emerging Cyber Threats
• Identify Attack Patterns and Trends 

Let’s explore how this integration will revolutionize our customer’s IP address monitoring abilities, and take their domain’s security to the next level!

SecLytics Threat Intelligence Feature Overview in PowerDMARC

On visiting the PowerDMARC Threat Intelligence page, after logging in (or signing up) into the portal, you can see our existing threat intelligence data powered by Cisco Talos integration and FCrDNS check. Now, on top of that, you will also find your SecLytics score. When you enter an IP address in the destination box on the Threat Intelligence page, the following new features will be available to you: 

SecLytics Risk Evaluation Score 

The SecLytics score evaluates the intensity of risk associated with the IP address on a scale of 0-100. The risk evaluation meter helps users quickly identify an IP address as low risk or critical risk. 

SecLytics Threat Intelligence Analysis Report

Your SecLytics Threat Intel Analysis Report provides detailed insights into how the IP address has performed historically in terms of spam, malware, and other potential cyber threats. 

What Information is Available in Your IP Analysis Report?

When you click on the button titled “view SecLytics report” under your SecLytics score, you will be immediately redirected to the detailed report for that IP address. On this page you will find your: 

Risk Level Score 

This is the score evaluating the IP address as low, moderate, elevated, high, or critical risk on a scale of 0-100. 

Risk Category Distribution 

This section summarizes the number of days pertaining to several categories of malicious activities (malware, botnets, spam, proxy, backscatter, brute force, ransomware, etc) that the IP address was involved in. 

Year View 

This section provides a detailed annual analysis of the IP address being reported as malicious, displaying the exact dates, nature of malicious activity reported, and colors to denote the level of risk associated. This provides an extended range of historical data on the IP address to determine whether it is harmful. 

Entire Period

This section provides an analysis of malicious IP activity for its entire activation period. This analysis starts from the day the IP address was first activated, to the present day. 

Predictions

This section is divided into tables for CIDR, profile, category, importance, and prediction date. Here you can see the predictions on the attack category associated with the IP address, the important level (risk intensity score), and the date of prediction for this attack incident also enlisted. 

Threat Data

This section provides a detailed breakdown of the different categories of threats, along with the date on which the threat activity was last performed. For example, you can visually identify when the IP address sent the last spam email, malware, or was reported as malicious.

Reasons 

This section provides more information on these cyber attacks associated with the IP address, with detailed explanations of each threat. 

Sample Associated Spam Emails

This section displays the potential sending sources or email addresses used by this IP address to carry out its malicious activities. The report also provides examples of subject lines commonly used in the spam emails sent from the IP address to victims.

Attack Mitigation

This section provides recommendations and suggestions on possible mitigation techniques for threats.
