Silicon Angle – Duncan Riley
Flashpoint, a business risk intelligence startup, has announced new features and capabilities for its platform at the Black Hat USA conference in Las Vegas
These enhancements are designed to help companies stay ahead of threats and make informed decisions to protect their critical assets, including people, places, and assets
Key updates include:
1) Flashpoint Ignite: Tailored threat intelligence that combines Flashpoint’s extensive data collection with advanced analytics and a deep understanding of each customer’s unique needs to provide actionable and relevant insights.
2) Investigations Management tool: Integrates into customized threat intelligence workflows, allowing users to gather relevant data, apply custom tags, collaborate with colleagues, map to assets, and prioritize based on urgency
The tool adapts to various focus areas, such as tracking cyberthreats, insider activities, or ransomware incidents.
3) Intelligence Requirements Mapping (to be released in Q4): Aligns Flashpoint collections with customers’ Priority Intelligence Requirements (PIRs), automatically scanning, identifying, and delivering data matched to their PIRs into an organized folder for highly targeted intelligence to enhance strategic decision-making.
4) Location Protection (for Echosec): Centrally manages and monitors location-based assets, providing timely alerts if threats are detected nearby
It reduces noise and false positives by cataloging various asset types, visualizing them on interactive maps, and setting up proximity-based alerts for events detected near these geo-referenced assets
These new features and capabilities aim to deliver the most actionable insights precisely aligned with a customer’s threat and intelligence needs, helping organizations make informed decisions and protect their most critical assets in an evolving threat landscape.
