SAN MATEO, Calif., Dec. 16, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Farsight<\/u><\/a> Security\u00ae, Inc.<\/u><\/a>, the leader in DNS Intelligence, today introduced the Farsight DNSDB Enrichment Playbook App<\/a>\u00a0for the ThreatConnect Platform. Threat hunters and other security professionals now can automatically enrich suspicious IP addresses, domain names, and other indicators of compromise (IoCs) to map malicious adversary infrastructure used in phishing, brand infringement and other types of cybercrime.<\/p>\n

\u201cThreatConnect users have long enjoyed interactive access to Farsight data for threat investigation and indicator enrichment,\u201d said Andy Pendergast, EVP of Product for ThreatConnect. \u201cWith this new app, users instantly have Farsight data available in Playbooks for analysis and decision-making as part of automation and orchestration.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDigital attacks often depend on the rapid use and disposal of domain names, IP addresses and other Internet infrastructure to evade detection. Defenders using DNSDB, our historical DNS Intelligence database, can automatically uncover the missing pieces of an investigation to help determine the intention — and target — of an online adversary,\u201d said Farsight CEO Dr. Paul Vixie. \u201cThreatConnect is one of our charter partners and we are extremely happy to be delivering these new playbook capabilities to our joint customers, especially DNSDB 2.0’s time-fencing feature which makes it possible to focus an investigation on a select period of time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Farsight DNSDB<\/a>, which celebrates its tenth anniversary this year, sets the industry standard for historical DNS Intelligence. Farsight DNSDB is used daily around the world by threat hunting and incident response teams for leading government agencies and Fortune 500 corporations.
