RiskIQ Acquires PassiveTotal
October 2015 by Marc Jacob
RiskIQ, the Enterprise Digital Footprint Security company, announced that it has acquired PassiveTotal to expand its portfolio into threat analysis. The newly released PassiveTotal Platform, supported by RiskIQ threat data, enables analysts to map out the attack footprint of adversaries. Organisations now have visibility and controls to address existing threats present in their digital footprints, as well as the malicious infrastructures used to carry out attacks.
Because of the considerable demand for threat infrastructure analysis, PassiveTotal has seen explosive growth since its launch. It now counts members from the world’s most sophisticated threat intelligence, cyber security, and incident response organisations among its more than 2,800 and counting, user base. To best serve the community, RiskIQ will continue to support and invest in the portfolio of PassiveTotal products, which make threat data easy to consume and instantly useful to analysts and researchers. This partnership will enable threat intelligence analysts, cyber security researchers, and incident responders to access RiskIQ’s global Internet threat data within the PassiveTotal platform. Using the platform, researchers can conduct advanced threat infrastructure investigations and prevent future attacks using actionable intelligence.
