Criminal IP, a well-known Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) search engine developed by AI SPERA, has joined forces with Quad9, a free, non-profit anycast DNS platform that deals with the improvement of internet privacy and security, in a move that is expected to seriously upgrade the cybersecurity defenses of the whole world. This partnership will promote the sharing of the important threat intelligence data which is related to the domains and even the IP addresses, thereby, both of the parties will be able to protect the users from a lot of cyber threats.
The partnership is proof of the precision and originality of the threat intelligence data supplied by Criminal IP. The rigorous evaluation that was taken before the integration of Criminal IP’s data turned out to be one of the hardest and toughest trials, and the results were nothing but astonishing. An astonishing 99. 1% of the malicious domains that were detected by Criminal IP’s threat intelligence were not the same as those which were identified by other TI data sources.
By this integration, Quad9 will use Criminal IP’s current threat intelligence lists, which it gathers from its wide database of dangerous domains, to improve its threat-blocking capabilities. This working together, will, at the same time, not only protect computers, mobile devices, and IoT systems from the different kinds of threats as malware, phishing, spyware, and botnets but also will improve the performance of the whole system, thereby, ensuring the security and the efficiency of the system.
“Our partnership with Quad9 is a recognition of the accuracy of Criminal IP’s data,” stated Byungtak Kang, CEO of AI SPERA. “It is expected that our collaboration will contribute to the protection of Quad9’s end-users, who have a global reach, while simultaneously enhancing the quality of Criminal IP’s data.“
Operating on a high-performance global network, Quad9 is committed to delivering robust security protections and privacy guarantees that comply with rigorous Swiss Data Protection and GDPR rules. By partnering with Criminal IP, which offers extensive cyber threat information, including malicious IPs, domains, and CVEs, derived from sophisticated IP and domain scoring algorithms and big data analysis on a worldwide scale, Quad9 further strengthens its mission.
Quad9 works on a high-performance worldwide network, and it is devoted to the provision of strong security protections and privacy guarantees, which are in accordance with the strict Swiss Data Protection and GDPR rules. Criminal IP is an organization that provides extensive cyber threat information, which includes malicious IPs, domains, and CVEs, and scoring algorithms that are based on IP and domain analysis and big data on a worldwide scale. Hence, Quad9 further strengthens its mission by working with this organization.
For users that want to get more details about the components of each domain, Criminal IP’s Domain Search has a strong vulnerability scanner tool. This tool is very precise in the analysis of a vast range of domains, including screenshots, WHOIS data, utilized technologies, page redirections, and certificates. Besides, it also detects the possible malicious content and the duplicated phishing domains, thus, it provides the overall domain score and the Domain Generation Algorithm (DGA) score.
The daily updated global threat intelligence of the Criminal IP can be accessed through the flexible API integration, which makes it possible to seamlessly into the existing security systems, like SIEM and SOAR. Thus, the smooth integration of this system offers the businesses and the organizations the opportunity to strengthen their cybersecurity defenses with the least disturbance to their existing operations.
Cybersecurity threats keep on evolving and getting smarter, therefore, collaborations like that between Criminal IP and Quad9 are the way of staying on the top of the game. Through the constant interaction and the sharing of threat intelligence data the two institutes are setting a new standard in cyber defense thus ending cyber-attacks for internet users worldwide.
