Lumen Adaptive Threat Intelligence vs. CINS

Adaptive Threat Intelligence equips security experts to promptly eliminate potential threats before they can cause damage. Leveraging our vast global network visibility, we provide tailored intelligence specific to your IP addresses, coupled with Rapid Threat Defense to proactively address threats and optimize security operations. Our automated validation technology, developed by Black Lotus Labs, meticulously evaluates newly detected threats, ensuring the integrity of our threat data and significantly lowering false positive rates. The automated detection and response features within Rapid Threat Defense efficiently thwart threats based on your predetermined risk tolerance. Our holistic virtual solution eliminates the need for additional device installations or data integration, providing a single escalation point for streamlined management. Furthermore, our intuitive security portal, mobile app, API feed, and customizable alerts empower you to manage threat visualization and response effectively, complete with detailed reports and access to historical data for in-depth analysis. This thorough strategy not only boosts situational awareness but also simplifies the decision-making process for security teams, ultimately enhancing their overall effectiveness in safeguarding assets. By integrating these tools, organizations can achieve a more proactive and efficient security posture.

With the growth of our fleet of Sentinel IPS units, we have come to appreciate the significant insights gained from the attack data we gather, which serves not just our clients but also the entire community at large. To make the most of this valuable information, we have introduced the Collective Intelligence Network Security (CINS, amusingly pronounced "sins") initiative, which is designed to substantially improve the security of our customers' networks. Additionally, we take pride in sharing this vital information freely with the InfoSec community. Our CINS framework continuously compiles attack data from all deployed Sentinel units, allowing us to calculate a CINS Score for each flagged IP address. This score functions much like a FICO score that assesses creditworthiness; in this case, it gauges the trustworthiness and security of an IP address. In tandem with the CINS Score, we provide relevant details such as the IP address's whois information, its geographical origin, and an in-depth examination of its attack patterns—covering aspects like type, frequency, and impact across the Sentinel network. This initiative plays a crucial role not only in fortifying individual network defenses but also in enhancing the collective strength of the cybersecurity ecosystem, paving the way for a safer digital environment. By sharing insights derived from extensive data analysis, we foster collaboration and innovation within the security community.
