Threat intelligence and indicator matching

Curated indicators of compromise matched against your telemetry in real time, with context that reflects threats seen in this region.

Overview

Threat intelligence is only useful when it reaches the detection layer. A feed nobody has wired into anything is a subscription, not a control.

Vanguard maintains indicators of compromise - addresses, domains, file hashes and URLs - and matches them against live telemetry so that a connection to known-malicious infrastructure is identified as it happens rather than during a later review.

Over time the more valuable half of this becomes regional. Threat activity against Namibian and Southern African organisations does not always appear in intelligence built around North American and European targets. Indicators observed across the environments we monitor inform detection for every environment we monitor.

What this identifies

  • Communication with known malicious infrastructure
  • Files matching known malware hashes
  • Access to phishing and credential-harvesting domains
  • Infrastructure associated with tracked threat campaigns

Delivery status: In deployment - actively being rolled out and available on request, with per-environment tuning.

Capabilities

What threat intelligence does

  • Indicator management

    A maintained collection of addresses, domains, hashes and URLs from public, community and observed sources.

  • Real-time matching

    Indicators are pushed into the detection layer for live matching, not held in a separate portal.

  • Alert enrichment

    Alerts arrive with reputation and campaign context already attached, reducing analyst triage time.

  • Regional context

    Indicators observed against organisations in this region, which international feeds frequently miss.

Under the hood

The engineering underneath

How this capability is actually engineered and operated. The specific detection tooling behind the security operations centre is shared with customers under agreement rather than published, for the same reason you would not publish yours.

  • A managed indicator platform holds addresses, domains, file hashes and URLs with their campaign context.
  • Indicators are pushed into detection-layer lookup lists for real-time matching, not left in a separate portal.
  • Enrichment runs automatically at alert creation; automated containment is never triggered from intelligence alone.

The full platform architecture is documented on the architecture page.
