Flashpoint, a firm specializing in threat intelligence, has launched Ignite, a new platform aimed at facilitating cross-functional risk mitigation and prevention across vulnerability management and security teams, including those in law enforcement, government agencies, and the private sector. The platform delivers real-time information on risks and helps reduce silos resulting from disparate intelligence feeds from multiple partners.
It uses dark web, open-source, and geospatial intelligence to deliver text, video, and image reports, and rule-based alerting through a personalized dashboard. Ignite offers features such as cyber threat intelligence, vulnerability management, national security intelligence, and physical security intelligence. Flashpoint has also announced plans to expand its partnership with Google Cloud on AI-driven innovations to further support its customers. The launch of Ignite comes as geopolitical tensions and state-backed actors pose significant threats and challenges to national and local governments.
Ignite taps into dark web, open-source, threat actor visibility. Ignite uses visibility of the dark web, open-source/surface web, threat actor groups, vulnerabilities, breaches, and geospatial intelligence to deliver text, video, and image optical character recognition (OCR), news-style intelligence reports, and rule-based alerting via a personalized dashboard, Flashpoint said in a press release.
Features built into Ignite include:
- Cyber threat intelligence allows analysts to search through thousands of sources, monitor the communication between illicit actors, and consume full intelligence reports.
- Vulnerability management provides vulnerability teams the contextual information needed to effectively identify, prioritize, and remediate vulnerabilities. This uses insights from publicly available CVEs and is mapped to related intelligence from threat actor communications and message boards, according to Flashpoint.
- National security intelligence combines open-source data collections with intelligence expertise, investigative tools, and AI enrichments to help government security and intelligence teams inform, operate, attack, defend, and influence. This is designed to deliver on-the-ground situational awareness to support mission-driven teams in defense, the intelligence community, law enforcement/public safety, state and local government, and federal civilian agencies.
- Physical security intelligence supports critical security workflows, empowering users to monitor key locations and assets, get real-time alerts about events, and investigate incidents.
Future augmentations will soon be made available via the expansion of Flashpoint’s partnership with Google Cloud on industry-leading AI-driven innovations, which will support the delivery of generative AI to Flashpoint customers, Flashpoint said.
