Enhancing Security Workflows with Real-Time Notifications via Microsoft Teams and Slack
In today's fast-paced digital landscape, staying one step ahead of potential security threats is paramount. Real-time security notifications serve as the frontlines of defense, enabling swift actions that can prevent potential breaches and minimize damage.
Flowmon Anomaly Detection & MISP
Back in 2021 we have introduced the integration between MISP, a community threat intelligence sharing platform and Flowmon ADS. The integration turns indicators of compromise shared through MISP to actionable intelligence. Flowmon ADS will automatically pick up on latest indicators of compromise using MISP API and leverage those indicators of compromise to detect adversary activities in the target network. The integration is available in Flowmon ADS 11.2 and newer versions. This way anyone can use community threat intelligence to report on malicious activities in the company environment.
