24 Jan Certstream Analyzer – Detect hidden threats in digital certificates and protect your network!
In protecting your organization’s data, every second counts. The first signs of malicious activity often go unnoticed—such as quietly issued digital certificates for suspicious domains that evade traditional monitoring systems.
To effectively counter such threats, Whalebone has developed Certstream Analyzer—an innovative tool based on real-time Certificate Transparency Logs (CTL). This solution enables instant detection of suspicious certificates and analysis of potential threats before they become a real problem.
What is Certstream Analyzer?
Every secure website, whether newly created or updated, receives a digital certificate that acts as a digital passport, confirming its legitimacy to browsers and users. Certstream Analyzer monitors the issuance of these certificates worldwide in real time, providing detailed insights into newly certified domains.
However, it’s not just about data collection—it’s about intelligent analysis. Certstream Analyzer leverages advanced filtering techniques to process vast amounts of information, identifying domains with suspicious patterns. When a potential threat is detected, the system assigns a risk assessment, taking into account Indicators of Compromise (IoC), such as links to previously identified malicious activities.
Not Just New Domains – Why Does It Matter?
Traditional systems, such as WHOIS databases, typically focus on tracking newly registered domains. While they are a valuable source of information, they overlook a critical gap—older domains receiving new certificates. This is where Certstream Analyzer stands out. By monitoring certificate updates on existing domains, it helps detect potential threats that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Imagine an abandoned warehouse where sudden activity appears. Traditional systems would ignore it because it’s not “new,” but Certstream Analyzer would detect the renewed activity, giving security teams valuable time to respond.
The Edge in Threat Detection
With its comprehensive approach, Certstream Analyzer uncovers both visible and hidden threats in cyberspace. This broader perspective allows for the early identification of attacks before they escalate, providing our clients with critical protection against emerging threats.
