Centripetal Networks: Threat Intelligence Gateway that Leverages Thousands of Intelligence Feeds

An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief

Researchers, administrators, government agencies, and security personnel uncover malicious online behavior on a continual basis, in the form of URLs, IP addresses, and similar data. Many of them publish these threat data on publicly available feeds.

Most firewalls automatically configure themselves by listening to a mere handful of such feeds, thus leveraging less than one percent of available threat data.

In contrast, Centripetal Networks leverages thousands of threat data feeds representing millions of ever-changing individual data points. Centripetal’s gateway extrapolates from these feeds in real-time and applies advanced packet filtering at the network edge to prevent unwanted traffic from ever hitting a network.

Centripetal correlates billions of threat indicators in order to generate millions of complex rules that in turn drive automatic enforcement in the gateway without sacrificing performance, as well as providing security analysts with consumable threat data.
