December 1, 2021—Intel 471, the premier provider of cybercrime intelligence for leading intelligence, security, and fraud teams, today announced a technology partnership with autonomous XDR innovator Kognos to reduce digital risk by empowering security teams to take a proactive stance in their threat hunting mission. Leveraging adversary intelligence and underground capabilities from Intel 471, Kognos XDR Hunter customers will benefit from embedding and activating Intel 471’s intelligence within fully autonomous hunts in their environment.
“Cybercriminals and their tactics are accelerating rapidly in their sophistication, increasing the need to apply and understand the implications of threat intelligence in the context of an organizational attack surface, with constant monitoring and testing of that surface, is of paramount importance,” said Intel 471 CEO Mark Arena. “Intel 471 combines advanced, automated collection capabilities, matched with ‘boots on the ground’ intelligence professionals worldwide to provide complete coverage of the criminal underground. We are proud to partner with Kognos and their differentiated solution, which delivers proactive, autonomous threat hunting capabilities, to help combat sophisticated adversaries by augmenting their efforts with our unparalleled intelligence.”
Launched in 2020, Kognos is the cybersecurity industry’s first and only autonomous XDR investigator platform that detects, investigates and responds to attack campaigns. Founded on the principle that attacker behavior is indicative of attack methodology, attribution and data for exfiltration, Kognos leverages the power of relationships using security aware AI to fundamentally reduce dwell time by tracing the attacker’s path in real-time.
