Arctic Wolf upgrades Threat Intelligence Plus for broader integration

Arctic Wolf has announced enhancements to its Threat Intelligence Plus service, expanding its capabilities to integrate curated threat intelligence directly into organisations' existing security tools.

The update introduces a feature that enables companies to deploy a threat feed containing the same high-fidelity indicators of compromise (IoCs) used daily by Arctic Wolf's AI-powered Security Operations Centre (SOC). This feed, delivered in the industry-standard STIX format and TAXII protocol, is designed to assist organisations in proactively defending against emerging cyber threats by allowing for the faster detection, richer insights, and broader integration across established security infrastructures.

Intelligence integration

Organisations now have the ability to automatically deploy Arctic Wolf's curated threat intelligence as preventative controls across supported security solutions, including firewalls, email security gateways, endpoint protection platforms, and network security appliances. Arctic Wolf states that these enhancements are underpinned by data collected through the Aurora Platform, which processes over 8 trillion security events and 3 million malware samples each week, alongside insights from thousands of incident response cases. This breadth of data aims to provide broad visibility into the global threat landscape and enable detection of new threats at an earlier stage.

Security teams using Threat Intelligence Plus will benefit from automated feed updates, ensuring they receive new threat indicators as they are identified and validated by Arctic Wolf's in-house security operations team. This real-time delivery of intelligence is designed to help organisations respond more quickly and effectively to emerging risks.

Quotes from leadership

"The value of threat intelligence is not just in knowing what adversaries are doing, it's in disrupting them before they act. With Threat Intelligence Plus, customers gain access to the operationally-proven IoCs and enriched intelligence our SOC uses every day to protect thousands of organisations. Powered by the scale and diversity of the Aurora Platform, these enhancements make intelligence actionable across existing defenses - helping teams prevent attacks faster, drive consistency in controls, and build long-term resilience."

This perspective was outlined by Dan Schiappa, President, Technology and Services at Arctic Wolf.

Broader integration

The enhanced threat feed allows organisations to ingest Arctic Wolf threat intelligence into their preferred investigation and analysis platforms, security information and event management (SIEM) tools, and threat intelligence platforms. This cross-platform compatibility aims to support unified threat hunting and incident response processes, facilitating a consolidated workflow for security operations teams.

The company describes the IoCs included in this offering as those actively used in Arctic Wolf's managed detection and response services, stating they have been operationally tested to deliver both effectiveness and a low rate of false positives.

Features for subscribers

The new feed capability is available exclusively to Threat Intelligence Plus subscribers. Key features available to these subscribers include:

• Automated prevention deployment, supporting tools with STIX/TAXII standards.
• Access to SOC-proven intelligence with high efficacy.
• Integration across diverse platforms to streamline unified workflows.
• Real-time updates of validated threat indicators.

According to Arctic Wolf, these features are intended to provide security teams with the resources to anticipate, detect, and respond to threats with greater speed and clarity, optimising the value of their existing investments in security infrastructure.

The company highlights that the strength of the Threat Intelligence Plus service relies not only on its data processing capabilities but also on the contextual insights gathered from real-world incident response activities, offering organisations intelligence that is both timely and relevant.
