VeriSign® iDefense® Security Intelligence Services
deliver timely, proactive intelligence using our proven methodology
for discovery and analysis. The existence of a vulnerability does not
always pose a threat to the enterprise. With finite resources and more
organized attackers, defense of critical IT assets requires security
intelligence — knowing which vulnerabilities pose the greatest risk
to critical infrastructures.
Discovery
We discover vulnerabilities and track the development
of tools to exploit them. Our vulnerability teams filter data from mailing
lists, Web sites, and proprietary sources into consolidated views of
new publicly disclosed vulnerabilities related to more than 10,000 products.
Our threat intelligence teams monitor activities related to cyber security
globally and track the development of tools to exploit vulnerabilities.
Analysis
Our cutting-edge research and development teams
conduct detailed analysis of vulnerabilities, exploit code and malicious
code to find out how they work and who created them. Organized attacks
from known actors pose a greater risk of organized assault on valued
systems than independent hackers. We develop scan checks, IDS signatures
and workarounds to protect threatened systems.
Our teams prioritize and categorize intelligence
for delivery in regularly scheduled advisories and updates or as alerts
requiring immediate attention. We have discovered more vulnerabilities
than any other organization, and our discoveries becomes part of our
analysis, which our customers receive, on average, 68 days before vendors
make them public.
VeriSign® iDefense® Security Intelligence teams
uncover vulnerabilities and identify threats from sources in more than
30 countries and 12 languages. Our highly specialized teams of security
experts scour the Internet for potential cyber threats from known and
undisclosed vulnerabilities, malicious code threats, cyber terrorism
plots, zero-day exploits, and organized cyber crime activities.
