The Webroot BrightCloud® Threat Intelligence Platform is a cloud-based, collective threat intelligence platform that classifies and shares cybersecurity intelligence from millions of devices and sensors, and billions of internet threats emanating from IPs, URLs, files, and mobile applications. That intelligence is made available through BrightCloud Threat Intelligences Services as a real-time threat intelligence feed. It is also used to power the Webroot family of endpoint cybersecurity solutions, which scale across all device types in the IIoT system, including sensors, controllers, autonomous machines, routers, IT-OT gateways, and servers. The software agents leverage BrightCloud Threat Intelligence to prevent, detect and block new cyber threats targeting IoT devices and systems. These threat intelligence and agent solutions are available as part of the Webroot® IoT Security Toolkit, and can be built into the devices at manufacture or deployed in gateways and command and control centers.

“Designed specifically for small form factor, battery-powered, and limited memory IoT devices, the Webroot micro-agent has a tiny footprint of 750kb. The company’s unique automated machine learning classifies the behavior and determines its intent, and can instruct the agent to remove the threat from the IoT device itself really impressed us,” said Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Krishna Raman. “Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has developed a product with innovative features and functionality, gaining rapid acceptance in the market. This year we have the distinction to recognize Webroot for the quality of their solution and the customer value enhancements it enables.”
