AlienVault releases new version of Open Threat Exchange

Editorial Type: News     Date: 06-2014    Views: 1886   






AlienVault has released an updated version of Open Threat Exchange (OTX), which includes OTTX ThreatFinder, a new free service enabling security professionals to quickly and easily analyse their network ecosystems for compromised systems and malicious communication.

AlienVault OTX now delivers alerts on communications related to known malicious hosts, enabling organisations to detect compromised systems and minimise data exfiltration. It also provides rapid insight via an interactive threat map that charts all of the countries an organisation’s systems are communicating with. Users can easily upload their raw logs into OTX and quickly and easily run log analysis without installing any new software or hardware. OTX also integrates with AlienVault Unified Security Management (USM) platform and OSSIM to provide users threat intelligence about known malicious IPs from outside their network, which is particularly useful in rapid incident response.

“In today’s evolving threat landscape, it has become more of a challenge for organisations, particularly those in the mid-market, to detect where the true threats lie without tapping into a broader and often already-stretched IT budget,” said AlienVault Vice President of Product Strategy, Russ Spitler. “By offering this capability as a free tool, AlienVault helps organisations gain greater visibility into their networks and makes existing IT resources more effective in rapidly detecting and responding to threats.”
