Level 3 launches Adaptive Threat Intelligence cloud service

Adaptive Threat Intelligence, the latest security solution from global network services provider Level 3 Communications, provides customised threat intelligence and alerting for customers. The cloud-based service builds on Level 3's portfolio of security solutions and is available in all regions.

Adaptive Threat Intelligence leverages Level 3's global Internet visibility and a team of security experts to provide customers with the assistance of a managed service. Customers benefit from the research and findings of the Level 3 Threat Research Labs team, the mitigation expertise of the company's security operation centre (SOC) professionals and the ease of knowing which threats merit a response to the correlated and prioritised alerts.

Estimates from the Federal Bureau of Investigation put ransomware on pace to be a US$1 billion dollar a year crime. Enterprises need a security service provider with the tools and expertise to fight pervasive and potentially expensive threats.

Adaptive Threat Intelligence is designed to be a one-stop shop for customers. They no longer have to purchase reputation feeds for malicious activity, manage on-premises boxes or have in-house resources to correlate threat data and identify risks on their network.
Adaptive Threat Intelligence provides a personalised, ranked list of actual malicious communications, no hardware needed.

Sampled customer data is correlated against known malicious communications using Level 3 proprietary analyses from threat data sources, including its domain name server (DNS), content delivery network (CDN) and managed security services (MSS) infrastructure, plus third-party data. Customers receive near real-time alerts for correlated events on their network.

Level 3 SOC experts are available to provide additional context, and if needed, to mitigate threats or escalating distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. The interactive near-real time reporting system also provides historical views for additional analysis.

Features include:

Near real-time monitoring and threat notification
Portal-based, actionable, automated and context-rich reports
24x7 SOC expert support
Integrated event feed to customers' security information and event management (SIEM) platform
Email alerts

Said Christina Richmond, Program Director, Security Services with Infrastructure Services Research Group, IDC: "CIOs and CISOs I speak with tell me the landscape is complex both internally and externally. They need visibility into the threats relevant to their company so they can prioritise security initiatives. The key for these IT leaders is to work with a company that has a breadth and depth of threat intelligence and makes the information consumable and relevant. Level 3's Adaptive Threat Intelligence combines customised intelligence and expertise to provide customers with actionable communications, specific to their network. With IDC predicting intelligence-based products will be 10 times more valuable to enterprises by 2020, now is the time to invest in a solution."

Anthony Christie, Chief Marketing Officer, Level 3 said, "Investigating threats using intelligence or reputation feeds is painful for customers. They need a smart filter for their security alerts to help them understand their priorities and to allocate resources. We correlate and prioritise live communications and rank the potential risks for customers, taking the burden off their IT and security teams so they can focus on their core business initiatives."

Adaptive Threat Intelligence complements other Level 3 solutions like Adaptive Network Security and DDoS Mitigation Service.
