CTM360 CyberBlindspot vs. Recorded Future Intelligence Cloud

Recorded Future is mainly beneficial to the SOC. As part of the Monitoring team, Recorded Future makes the investigation of the alarms a lot easier for me. It can show the reputation of the IP/domain or even hashes which helps me redirect my focus to potentially malicious network activities.

• Dashboards, statistics and heatmaps about a certain topic

• For the Browser extension, since the main purpose is to present information with regards to the IP, I think it's best to give us an idea of where the IP originated/some additional information about the organization it belongs to.

I've had an issue with their browser-plugin which didn't want to authenticate correctly. RF's support could arrange for a session with me and identify and solve the issue. I was very pleased how serious they took my problems and also how knowledgeable they are.

If I have more general questions they quickly reply and most likely also have a solution at hand.

It is the most complete solution of these three, as the others are focused in specific areas and having really detailed analysis about threat actors, APT groups, etc. Recorded Future is not having this level of knowledge in really specific areas but doing a really good work covering thousands of sources and the most relevant forums.

• We've been able to identify leaked credentials and close those accounts off.
• We've also been able to identify malware being distributed or spam being sent out by customers using our infrastructure. Again we could shut off those accounts.
• Their domain-monitoring allows us to identify typo-squats and issue domain-takedowns for those (or at least add them to our monitoring / detection)
