Internet Noise Contributing to Unnecessary Alert Overload for SOC TeamsWASHINGTON, June 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- GreyNoise Intelligence, the anti-threat intelligence company, is helping security operations center (SOC) teams improve analyst efficiency, identify compromised devices and understand emerging threats by giving them unique visibility into "internet noise." "Security analysts are overwhelmed with alerts," said GreyNoise founder and CEO Andrew Morris. "Every machine connected to the internet is exposed to a constant barrage of scans, web crawls, probes and attacks from tens of thousands of unique IP addresses per day. This 'internet noise' is generated by both good guys and bad guys, and it triggers security tools to generate thousands of events to be analyzed, with little context on the potential threats. Analysts waste hours differentiating between targeted attack traffic and background noise alerts." GreyNoise helps security teams prioritize security alerts by giving them unique context on internet noise. This context comes from GreyNoise's internet-wide sensor network, which passively collects packets from hundreds of thousands of IPs seen scanning the internet every day, as well as the monitoring of common internet business services. Over the past 90 days, GreyNoise has analyzed almost 3 million IP addresses opportunistically scanning the internet, with the majority identified as benign or unknown, and only 10,000 identified as malicious. User and Customer Growth Commercial versions of the GreyNoise service are used by enterprises, governments, ISPs and security firms to support automated usage of GreyNoise data, including turnkey integration into SIEM, SOAR and TIP platforms. GreyNoise has grown commercial customers and ARR by more than 100% over the past 12 months, including new customers such as Airbus, Lumen and the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) of the U.S. Department of Defense. "Using GreyNoise Intelligence helps the Hurricane Labs team eliminate background noise and focus on the most actionable and relevant alerts for our customers," said Steve McMaster, Director of Managed Services at Hurricane Labs. "Rather than presenting our analysts with even more data to investigate, GreyNoise has allowed us to reduce the volume of alerts that are triggered by 25% – which makes for a happier and more effective SOC team." Additional Investment "Government security teams struggle with the same kind of alert fatigue that commercial enterprises face," said Grant Whiting, Principal, In-Q-Tel. "GreyNoise's technology provides a unique solution to this problem that we believe can provide value to our intelligence and defense community partners. We are glad to welcome them to the portfolio."
