=================================================================================================
Several vendors have joined forces with LogRhythm on a threat intelligence collective designed to provide customers with visibility and insight in order to help them detect sophisticated cyber threats.
Symantec, Norse, CrowdStrike, Webroot and ThreatStream are the first companies to join LogRhythm's Threat Intelligence Ecosystem, which includes low reputation IP addresses and URLs, malicious email addresses, processes, filenames, user agent strings and other data.
Each of the companies within the ecosystem contribute with unique capabilities, LogRhythm said.  Symantec, for example, provides actionable data about malicious activity sources, emerging threats and vulnerabilities through its DeepSight Intelligence solution. Norse provides live attack intelligence, CrowdStrike specializes in identifying advanced threats and targeted attacks, while ThreatStream brings intelligence from millions of threat indicators from around the Web. Webroot contributes with its BrightCloud IP reputation service.
"Norse believes it is important for the security community to work together towards achieving a comprehensive approach to threat intelligence, and LogRhythm’s Threat Intelligence Ecosystem is an important step in that direction," commented Sam Glines, the chief executive officer of Norse. "While current solutions excel at collecting and analyzing an organization's internal data, live external threat intelligence like that provided by Norse has proven to provide critical contextual data necessary for the rapid detection of advanced threats enterprises are encountering today."
