Woburn, MA, Oct. 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kasperskyâs Threat Intelligence Portal has extended the functionality of its free services to help enterprises speed up and improve threat analysis. A newly-added worldwide Threat Heatmap visualizes the distribution of different cyberattack types and shows top threats for each geographical area in real-time. The updated âLookupâ tab now provides more data for IP addresses, domains and URL analysis. Users who automate their workflows through RESTful API can now check 10 times more objects, with quotas ranging from 200 to 2000 requests per day.

According to recent research, threat intelligence is the core element enterprises use in vulnerability management (68%), security operations (66%), and incident response (62%). Cybersecurity analysts and SOC teams use it to make timely and informed decisions in case of an attack, and Kaspersky Threat Intelligence Portal is dedicated to empowering specialists with the most up to date threat data.

With the Threat Heatmap, security analysts can quickly evaluate the scale and distribution of threats worldwide including ransomware, exploits, web threats, spam, network attacks, etc. For each type, they can also choose a time-period and check the top 10 countries for malicious objects and top 10 specific samples, as well as the most active threats and number of detections for each country on the map.

Lookup capabilities have been extended to support additional categories including IP addresses, domains, and URLs analysis to give experts more details on suspicious communications. For IP addresses, there are two new categories: spam and compromised. IPs marked with the âspamâ status are the ones that have been used to send spam emails.
