Team Cymru has launched Pure Signal Scout, an external threat-hunting and malicious infrastructure analysis tool to “level up” security operations centers (SOCs). Under the promise of being the “fastest” tool available for threat insights, Pure Signal Scout is expected to save analysts’ time by providing fast answers to complex queries.
“We are now achieving in one working day what used to take several,” Josh Picolet, team leader of Team Cymru’s S2 Threat Research, said in a statement. This includes determining if an IP is important to a threat investigation. Another point factoring in the speed of response is that Scout is cloud-based and designed to eliminate the need to deploy multiple data services and solutions. It also eliminates the need to create custom scripts to combine disparate threat feeds and data sources.
