Feature Brief: ThreatConnect Integration
Immediately Convert Your Threat
Intelligence into Global Threat Prevention
For the first time, you can prevent—not only detect—threats
both on and off the corporate network using APIs with a
cloud-delivered network security service. Together, OpenDNS
and ThreatConnect give you the power to curate, correlate,
and take immediate action on your threat intelligence.
Programmatically Curate and Correlate Your Threat Intelligence
Enterprises with dedicated security operation teams struggle to operationalize multiple
sources of indicators of compromise (IOCs). While your SIEM can centralize IOCs in one
place, it was not built for this task. And building your own custom in-house systems require
skillsets in short supply and takes months or years to complete. ThreatConnect’s
collaborative Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) removes all these manual burdens.
Programmatically Take Immediate Action On This Intelligence
As intelligence is aggregated and analyzed in a TIP, the final step is to take action on it.
OpenDNS is one of ThreatConnect’s defense integration partners that enable you to
complete the threat intelligence lifecycle without manually configuring appliance- or agentbased defenses. By leveraging OpenDNS APIs, ThreatConnect will automatically add or
“By year-end 2018, 50% of
Type A organizations and
managed security service
providers will use a TIP to
consume, act upon and
disperse MRTI, up from
fewer than 5% today.”

Technology Overview for
Threat Intelligence
Platforms
remove domains or full IOCs with our cloud-delivered network security service—OpenDNS
Umbrella. By enforcing security at the DNS layer, Umbrella uses the Internet’s existing
infrastructure to keep malware, botnets/C2, and phishing from compromising systems and
exfiltrating data over any port, protocol, or app. Blocking Internet activity attributed to your
IOCs on any device—on or off the network—reduces the time between detection and
prevention from days to seconds.

Enforce Threat Intelligence Globally
Today, mobile employees increasingly bypass their VPN agents for a variety of reasons. If
VPNs are not always on, traffic will not always pass over the network’s perimeter where
you have deployed security appliances. Unlike appliances, Umbrella enforces threat
intelligence globally using the OpenDNS Global Network.
While many new endpoint detection and response (EDR) agents only detect IOCs,
Umbrella blocks advanced attacks before data breaches or new malware infections
happen. Plus, many of these EDR agents still rely on VPN agents to receive updates when
the device is off the network. Not with Umbrella, because all security enforcement and
intelligence is in the cloud.

“I have long considered DNS
a digital ‘center of gravity’
within the enterprise. If you
control DNS, Web, mail
services and protocols you
can control your adversaries.
With the ThreatConnectOpenDNS partnership and
integration we are empowering
enterprises to take control,
we are allowing them to make
decisions and act on their
own threat intelligence.”

Programmatically Enrich This Intelligence for Better Correlation
Using our APIs and unique view of the Internet, OpenDNS Investigate can enrich your
threat intelligence with real-time context about suspicious domains, IPs, and ASNs.
ThreatConnect will add our risk scores to your IOCs across a number of attacker
infrastructure attributes. For example, using ThreatConnect, you can assign different
actions to based on OpenDNS detecting that they use fast flux networks (FFNs) or were
created by domain generation algorithms (DGAs).
And all the time saved by eliminating manual configurations can be used for investigating
incidents. Using our real-time, Google-like access, you can pivot from one domain to many
related IP addresses, autonomous systems, and co-occurring domains. Access a massive
passive DNS database to see historical data about domains.
