Key Quotes:
Hal Lonas, Chief Technology Officer, Webroot
“On any given day, more than 100,000 IPs are used to conduct malicious activity, making it extremely difficult for administrators to know which IPs to block. Further complicating matters, many publicly available IP block lists are static and outdated. Webroot BrightCloud IP Reputation Service tackles this issue head-on by utilizing up-to-the-minute IP intelligence capabilities, stopping IP threats before they can cause damage. We are excited to bring this service to Centripetal Network’s top-class threat intelligence platform, which has already proven to be an excellent service in protecting against cyber-attacks.”
Steven Rogers, Chief Executive Officer, Centripetal Networks
“With the evolution and scale of today’s cyber-attacks, security professionals simply cannot apply threat intelligence and take action at scale. They need a solution that can process millions of complex threat indicators in real time to ensure their businesses are protected. By partnering with Webroot, we can give our customers access to one of the largest sources of threat intelligence. This combination provides protection against 8 to 12 million malicious IPs at any given time.”
