Intel 471 Launches Retroactive Threat Detection, Operationalizing Intelligence Across the Existing Security Stack

Security teams can now go from reading an intelligence report to knowing whether their environment was compromised, without switching tools or building queries from scratch

WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Intel 471, the foremost provider of high-fidelity threat intelligence-driven solutions, today announced Retroactive Threat Detections (RTD), a new capability within its Verity471 platform. RTD helps security teams immediately understand the impact of a new threat on their environment. This turns static intelligence reports into answers in minutes, allowing for faster confirmation of compromise and remediation.

When a new threat surfaces, every CISO faces the same question: “Were we affected?” Answering this has historically meant pulling analysts off other work to manually extract indicators, build custom queries for each detection tool, and search historical logs across platforms. This process delays response, extends attacker dwell time, and ties up the most experienced people on the team. RTD eliminates the manual work, dynamically translating IOCs into ready-to-run detection queries tailored for all major endpoint detection and response (EDR) and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platforms.

“The question every security team gets when a new threat breaks is around if they were hit and how fast they knew,” said Brandon Hoffman, Chief Product and Strategy Officer at Intel 471. “RTD’s ability to immediately turn intelligence workflows into detections that are executable across the entire security stack, immediately answers this question and dramatically shortens this window of uncertainty so teams can act fast.”

RTD enables teams to confirm past intrusions, escalate response against an active threat, or trigger a proactive threat hunt. Because RTD queries are built on Intel 471’s proprietary adversary intelligence, customers get actionable, proprietary intelligence that can be immediately operationalized across their core EDR and SIEM platforms, something that off-the-shelf feeds simply can’t produce.

“Our customers don’t need more intelligence, they need intelligence that immediately transfers into defensive action,” said Michael DeBolt, President and Chief Intelligence Officer of Intel 471. “RTD is how we help them do that, with measurable improvements in response time and analyst productivity.”

RTD is exclusively available to Verity471 customers and comes on the heels of Intel 471’s Cyber Threat Exposure Bundle launch, which combines Attack Surface Exposure, Third-Party Exposure and Brand Exposure into a single solution.
