ThreatQuotient Selected by Sysdig to Scale Cloud Threat Detection and Response
February 2023 by Marc Jacob
ThreatQuotient™ is pleased to announce that the ThreatQ Platform was selected by Sysdig to help improve the Sysdig Threat Research Team’s detection rules and reporting as the volume of threat data and number of sources continue to grow.
Sysdig stops attacks with no wasted time. With Sysdig, teams can detect threats in real-time using machine learning, curated rules and policies implemented by the Sysdig Threat Research Team. Sysdig’s deep runtime insight helps companies improve their security posture by focusing on the vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and compliance gaps that create the greatest risk.
After evaluating multiple security operations platform providers, Sysdig determined that the ThreatQ Platform with the DataLinq Engine met key criteria and delivered additional valuable capabilities, including: effective threat intelligence management with support for different feeds, expiration of threat data, prioritisation of indicators, API-based integration, ease of export, and flexibility to adapt to the unique requirements of the cloud.
As a result of using the ThreatQ Platform, Sysdig’s threat research team gains the following benefits:
Additional context-rich detection rules
Threat detection rules can be created and fine-tuned faster with data from an expanded number of sources enriched with more context, resulting in better detections for customers. This is particularly important given the current geopolitical climate and rapidly evolving threat landscape.
Time saved for the Threat Research Team
The ThreatQ Platform automates tasks including data aggregation, deduplication, and normalisation. Additionally, based on parameters set by Sysdig Threat Research Team, the platform also automates enrichment, scoring, prioritisation, and expiration, which saves time and reduces noise.
Simplified and enhanced threat intelligence reporting
Visualisations make it easier for the team to analyse and report on what they see and share their intelligence with the broader security community with compelling graphics.
ThreatQuotient performed extremely well in 2022, delivering the largest bookings year in company history, highlighted by 100% growth in the MENA region and customer expansion to a total of 34 countries. ThreatQuotient further delivered on its platform vision to include the ThreatQ TDR Orchestrator module. This resulted in record sales in just two quarters of general availability. ThreatQuotient was also recognised for a company culture of excellence as a 2022 Top Place to Work by the Washington Post, as well as for technology innovation as a finalist in the 2022 CRN Tech Innovators programme and Expert Insights’ 100 Innovative Cybersecurity Companies list.
