Check Point Launches World Cyber Threat Map
April 2015 by Marc Jacob
Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd.has launched the ThreatCloud World Cyber Threat Map, which visualizes how and where cyberattacks are taking place worldwide, in real time.
The Map is powered by Check Point’s ThreatCloudTM intelligence, the largest collaborative network to fight cybercrime which delivers threat data and attack trends from a global network of threat sensors. The ThreatCloud database holds over 250 million addresses analyzed for bot discovery, over 11 million malware signatures and over 5.5 million infected websites, and identifies millions of malware types daily.
The ThreatCloud World Cyber Threat Map also shows key daily threat statistics, including:
• The top 10 countries from which attacks originate
• The top 10 countries targeted by attacks
• Types of attack (bot communication, access to malicious resources, malicious file transfers, spam)
• Daily attack totals
• Country-specific data showing infection averages and most common attack types by week and month
Check Point’s ThreatCloud collects data from numerous global sensors and from the company’s own research team and distributes this information to customers’ gateways, giving real-time threat information and attack trends to enforce protection against bots, APTs and other sophisticated forms of malware – making it the first and unique collaborative network to fight cybercrime. It feeds into ThreatCloud IntelliStore, the industry’s first threat intelligence marketplace that enables organizations to select from a wide range of threat intelligence feeds that are relevant to their business, use this intelligence to pinpoint and focus on the advanced threats, and proactively stop them.
