Products and services

ActiveTrust

ActiveTrust is IID's Threat Intelligence Management System. The company claims it gets threat data from thousands of sources, and determines what data is useful to defend against cyberattacks. ActiveTrust feeds this data into Fortune 500 companies' and U.S. government agencies' cybersecurity appliances, leading IID to claim that ActiveTrust is the world's largest commercial cyberthreat data exchange.

ActiveTrust Data

Provides a list of the latest malicious (or compromised) IP addresses, domains and e-mail accounts, and identifies those "bad players" the organization is connected to through its extended enterprise. ActiveTrust Data was formerly known as "ActiveKnowledge."

Threat Intelligence

IID's Threat Intelligence team investigates, analyzes and validates threat data to identify patterns and trends, revealing ongoing attacks and future hazards. The TI team takes shared data from ActiveTrust and uses filtering and analysis to add structure and context.
