They can quickly become a time-consuming and complicated process that requires finding connected data points across disconnected tools and workflows.This slows investigations, increases the amount of manual analysis required during triage and response, and makes it harder for teams to confidently prioritize what matters most.What teams need is fast and rich threat context that helps them investigate threats more efficiently to improve detection quality and reduce the time spent validating indicators manually. The ability to quickly understand whether activity is suspicious, connected to known threats, or part of a larger attack makes a significant difference during investigations.Bitdefender Threat Intelligence Solutions rapidly provides enriched threat data and contextual insights, leveraging insights from the more than 50 billion queries the company processes each day, discovering more than 1,000 new cyberthreats each minute. These solutions also provide flexible integrations to support modern security operations and help teams work more efficiently within their existing environments.
