And in September, ThreatConnect announced its new Orchestration capabilities to provide automation, configurable playbooks, and human intervention with the added component of tailored threat intelligence for its customers. Earlier this week, the company introduced two new features designed to help organizations make faster decisions based on the threat intelligence: ThreatAssess, analytics across their own data and the Collective Analytics Layer (CAL™), generated from insights across ThreatConnect's network. With these features, threat intelligence is more easily quantifiable for rapid decision making. Because ThreatConnect is a true platform, it has an unequaled ability to provide analysts with meaningful information, so they can make the best decision about how to react to an indicator or threat. Furthermore, the ThreatConnect Platform was designed to easily integrate with an organization's existing security products to make them more effective. By enabling better use of a security team's existing tools,ThreatConnect helps manage a more responsive, more efficient team. A key factor of ThreatConnect is the trusted communities that contribute to and draw from the Platform to build a shared resource of common threat actors and attack patterns.
