Avast and RiskIQ announced a threat intelligence partnership. Under the agreement, the companies will use their specific areas of expertise to develop combined threat intelligence that will be offered to their customer bases to enhance their security practices. Avast's threat intelligence platform protects hundreds of millions of endpoints from internet threats, powered by threat intelligence from Avast's global network. Avast's advanced analytics enable insight into thousands of malware families, including how they are detectable before customers are impacted and how those threats evolve as bad actors attempt to evade detection. RiskIQ aggregates and collects data and intelligence from the whole internet to identify threats and attacker infrastructure and leverages machine learning to scale threat hunting and incident response. The company's Illuminate Internet Intelligence Platform provides comprehensive content on attackers, their tools and systems, and indicators of compromise across the global attack surface.
