AlienVault has announced the launch of its Open Threat Exchange (OTX) Reputation Monitor, a free service that AlienVault hopes will help enable security professionals to monitor and track their organisations reputation.
After registering the IP address and domains they wish to monitor, users will receive notifications when a threat is detected, or anytime one of their IP addresses or domains is listed in a blacklist, hacker forum, or matches one of the IPs in AlienVault’s IP reputation database. Often this is an indication of system compromise and therefore AlienVault say they will provides remediation recommendations that will make it easier for the user to understand what action to take.
OTX Reputation Manager also includes monitoring the user’s DNS registration and SSL certificates to check there isn’t any change the user wasn’t expecting. “Cyber criminals often use compromised systems to launch attacks against different targets,” said AlienVault CTO, Roger Thornton. “With a service that harnesses crowd-sourced threat intelligence, we can detect these attacks before damage is done. Our OTX Reputation Monitor Alert leverages the broadest scope of data, sourced from the largest community of SIEM deployments, and is free to all IT and security professionals.”
