CINS Active Threat Intelligence
Nomic's threat intelligence network continuously gathers attack data from Outpost sensors around the world. These metrics are used to assign a CINS Score to malicious IPs, and this data is in turn shared back out to Nomic devices in the field, actively blocking known-bad traffic in real-time. Each sensor learns from every other sensor, benefitting from the collective intelligence of each and every Nomic customer.
CINS Army: Our Intel, shared with the community.
“As one of the first widely distributed threat feeds, CINS Army filters out most of the noise caused by malicious scanners, allowing analysts to focus on more important threats. Its strength comes from the source of its data: A diverse Nomic customer base made up of real networks, with real people behind them.”
CINS Score: Protecting our customers and the community at large
Much like a FICO score is meant to show you at a glance the quality of your credit, the CINS score shows you the trustworthyness of an IP address. In addition, the IP's WHOIS information, country of origin, and the nature, frequency, and breadth of its attacks across the Nomic global network are listed with the score. Gathered from live networks of real customers, the effectiveness and fidelity of this data cannot be duplicated by research networks or honeypots. This level of detail simply cannot be replicated without an existing network like ours.
This information not only improves the security of our customers' networks; Through CINS Army, Nomic has been providing this threat intelligence to the community at large for over a decade, and it appears in countless aggregated CTI lists and open source projects.
