Flashpoint expands Risk intelligence

Flashpoint has expanded its Business Risk Intelligence capabilities for Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs), helping them to meet the growing demand for more proactive, value-added services.

Flashpoint’s extensive ability to safely track adversaries across multiple types of online communities and collections from the open, deep and dark web sources, makes it an indispensable resource for MSSPs wishing to extend those capabilities to clients.

With access to Flashpoint’s technical data, vulnerability information, and finished intelligence reports, analysts can safely conduct research within threat actor communities and bring meaningful context to threats, allowing organisations to take informed actions and mitigate risk.

The company’s data and finished intelligence expand the MSSP partner’s capabilities, adding context to threat information and informing decisions that proactively mitigate risk. The following capabilities are a crucial complement to critical services core to MSSPs, such as network and log monitoring, vulnerability management, incident response, and threat hunting. 

Security products include the Flashpoint Intelligence Platform which allows analysts to safely conduct research within threat actor communities and bring meaningful context to threats, allowing organisations to take informed actions and mitigate risk. Finished intelligence describes and contextualises a wide spectrum of illicit underground activity, including cybercrime, emergent malware, and exploit development.

Flashpoint Head of Global Channels & Partnerships Ayesha Prakash said managed security services providers increasingly require comprehensive solutions that parallel what Flashpoint’s Business Risk Intelligence encompasses.

“Flashpoint’s prioritisation of MSSPs as a key component of our channel offering meets their needs for data and intelligence from illicit online communities and demonstrates our ability to support businesses of all sizes.”
