Lookingglass’ ScoutPlatformTM provides a global view into the Internet and transforms threat data into threat knowledge. This information is essential for security operations teams to identify, understand and prioritize cyber threats within and beyond the enterprise perimeter. The ScoutPlatform offers continuous monitoring capabilities that alert customers to the presence of threats within networks that are relevant to their organization while delivering aggregated, contextualized threat intelligence. Rather than being tied to the antiquated ‘stop any and all security events’ mindset, Lookingglass’ ScoutPlatform enables customers to rapidly determine the relevance of threats and more effectively focus resources, thereby adopting a new cyber security risk approach that tightly aligns business needs with operational realities.
