Detection Method: Threat intelligence
Threat intelligence uses data feeds and insights about known and emerging phishing threats to give you proactive protection against attackers. This method taps into massive databases of indicators of compromise (IoCs), helping your security systems recognize patterns, techniques, and infrastructure that have been seen in past attacks.
Threat intelligence can help you identify:
- Domains and URLs linked to previous phishing campaigns
- File hashes associated with known malware samples
- IP addresses connected to command and control servers
- Email patterns that match identified threat actors
- Emerging threats based on recently observed attack tactics
For example, when a new phishing campaign targeting a specific industry is discovered, threat intelligence feeds can share the indicators of that campaign, so you can block similar attempts before they even reach your users.
