CloudCover Launches Free Signatureless TAXII 2.1 Threat Intelligence Service to Combat Rising Cyber-Attacks

Published: March 9, 2024 Author: Stephen Cardot

At CloudCover, we’re committed to real-time threat intelligence. We’ve curated a comprehensive collection of signatureless Indicators of Compromise (IoCs). Our TAXII 2.1 service offers valuable insights, helping businesses like yours stay ahead of zero-days security threats. This initiative addresses the immediate need for robust cybersecurity measures and proactive threat detection.

Complimentary Access to Vital Security Intelligence

We’re excited to offer free access to our 48-hour delayed signature-less feeds collection. This collection spans multiple industry verticals and is a vital resource for anyone looking to bolster their cyber security threat prevention capabilities. Simple registration provides instant access, ensuring that businesses can quickly integrate this critical intelligence into their cybersecurity strategies. This move is part of CloudCover’s commitment to supporting businesses of all sizes in their fight against cyber threats.

Empowering Security Professionals with Open-Source Tools

For security professionals who prefer a programmatic approach to interacting with our TAXII 2.1 server, we’ve developed an open-source Python library. This SDK is perfect for writing custom software clients or integrating our feed into your existing systems. By providing these tools, CloudCover not only facilitates enhanced security measures but also fosters innovation and collaboration within the cybersecurity community.

By registering for our TAXII 2.1 service and using our open-source tools, you’re not just accessing a resource – you’re joining a community of forward-thinking cybersecurity professionals. Together, we can create a safer digital landscape. As cyber-attacks continue to evolve, so too must our strategies for prevention and protection.

CloudCover’s Mathematical Approach

One common question we receive is “How is CC/B1 able to distinguish ‘bad traffic’ from ‘good traffic’ while permitting good traffic to transit the network?” The answer resides in the algorithms that constitute the CC/B1 intelligence: the AWARE engine combines signature-based detection with statistical risk analysis and scoring of network events.

It is also worth noting that the majority of cyber-attacks contain traces of malware (signatures) previously employed by cybercriminals, and the AWARE algorithms draw on that historical knowledge.

By utilizing mathematics and replacing the traditional “look-up” playbook, the CloudCover AWARE engine makes decisions to block threat vectors (bad traffic) at the packet handshake — based on packet malware patterns — providing automated detection and blocking of malicious traffic, including “zero-day”* attacks.

CloudCover Ransomware Insurance

Recently, we had the privilege of presenting our CyberSafety Platform™ to Munich Re, whose underwriters and engineers conducted an in-depth analysis of the solution’s architecture. Munich Re agreed to underwrite the offering, enabling us to offer an underwritten insured $1M Ransomware Warranty. This partnership supports our security risk promise to CloudCover customers.

*A zero-day vulnerability is an undiscovered flaw in an application or operating system, a gap in security for which there is no defense or patch because the software maker does not know it exists—they’ve had “zero days” to prepare an effective response.
