Turn the Tide with a “Threat Intelligence Platform” (TIP)

A TIP is a robotic, context‑trimming megaphone that turns raw feeds into real, relevant noise for your business. It:

  • Integrates instantly into your existing stack.
  • Filters out the humdrum whispers.
  • Adds context on the fly.
  • Brings the most pressing threats to the front of your desk.

Take the Shot, Fix the Threat Before It Pulls a Punch‑line

From NotPetya to Equifax, the headlines keep coming. Companies that react fast, organise well, and share promptly are the ones who keep the anger at bay. A robust TIP is your ticket to:

  • Spotting active threats in evidence form.
  • Mitigating damage before the damage is prime‑time.
  • Being ready for incident‑response drama, with extra backup skills.
