AI has changed the tempo of attacks. Adversaries use agents to scan for vulnerabilities and weaponize infrastructure in hours, not days. By the time an indicator surfaces in a community feed, the campaign has moved.

Most threat intelligence wasn't built for this. Feeds are noisy, duplicated, and disconnected from real attack activity. SOC teams ingest thousands of indicators yet still struggle to determine which domains, IPs, URLs, and file hashes are actually malicious right now.

Raw IoCs trigger alerts but rarely explain who is behind the activity, which campaign the indicator belongs to, which MITRE ATT&CK techniques are involved, or whether a CVE is being actively exploited. Analysts research each indicator manually. Triage drags. Escalations vary. Confidence drops.

Without confidence and context, teams hesitate to automate prevention. Most limit IoC use to detection rather than blocking — while attackers continue staging infrastructure across the early stages of the kill chain. Exposure dwell time grows.

• Detect malicious activity earlier Identify attacker infrastructure, exploit attempts, weaponized payloads, phishing, and C2 communications using continuously updated, high-confidence IoCs.

• Accelerate triage and investigation Enrich any IoC with actor, campaign, CVE, MITRE ATT&CK, sector, and activity context - moving analysts from raw alert to informed decision in minutes.

• Automate blocking with confidence Disseminate high-risk IoCs to security controls for automated prevention, optimized by control type and rule capacity. One decision propagates everywhere.

• Reduce noise from low-quality feeds Prioritize fresh, unique, high-confidence indicators from Check Point's global telemetry - not community submissions or passive observation.

• Connect intelligence to exposure outcomes Operationalize tactical intelligence across detection, investigation, hunting, and blocking workflows - reducing dwell time across the attack surface.

SOLUTION: Most intelligence solution observe attacks through a single lens - endpoints, OSINT, or post-breach forensics. Each tells you something different, and each has blind spots. Telemetry source determines what you can detect, when you can detect it, and whether you can confidently block it.

Check Point’s Tactical Intelligence leverages a massive telemetry engine fueled by over 100,000 firewalls and 200 million daily emails. This global visibility allows us to identify attacker infrastructure - such as C2 domain registrations, scanning IPs, and phishing setups - at the network and email layers before they ever reach an endpoint. By neutralizing threats at the Initial Access, Execution, and Command-and-Control stages, we provide high-confidence IoC coverage where detection and blocking are most effective.

Different telemetry sources observe different phases of the kill chain. Only one sees attacks at the stages where blocking is most effective.

3EXPOSURE MANAGEMENT TACTICAL INTELLIGENCE

Tactical Intelligence delivers three integrated tools - the IoC Intelligence Feed, the IoC Enrichment API, and a comprehensive IoC Card - that work together across the SOC and threat hunting lifecycle. Detect earlier. Triage faster. Investigate deeper. Block with confidence.

Each stage is powered by a Tactical Intelligence capability - feed, enrichment, and loC card - working together.

Three Powerful Tools. One connected workflow

As part of Check Point Exposure Management, Tactical Intelligence helps organizations understand what should be detected, investigated, or blocked now - giving SOC, threat intelligence, and security infrastructure teams the context required to act with confidence.

Close The Gap Between Threat Intel and Exposure Reduction

Check Point delivers a machine-speed stream of pre-validated malicious indicators via TAXII 2.1 or REST API. These high-confidence indicators are ingested into your SIEM for instant alerting and automatically disseminated to existing security controls, such as Firewalls, EDR, and WAFs, for proactive blocking. This automated loop ensures that one blocking decision propagates across your entire stack simultaneously.

IoC Intelligence Feed - Detection and Proactive Blocking

From alert to action: a connected SOC workflow

Stop manual pivoting. One API call delivers comprehensive threat context - including TTPs, campaigns, and exploit data. This allows your SOC to automate routing: high-confidence alerts reach tier-2 analysts pre-populated with data, while low-risk events auto-close, saving your team hours of manual triage.

IoC Enrichment API - Context in a Single Call

Eliminate tool fatigue. The IoC Card gives threat hunters and Tier-2 analysts instant answers: Is this malicious? and Does it matter to us? In one view, you get everything from kill chain stages and threat actor attribution to malware families and VT context. Stop pivoting and start acting—move from alert to resolution in a single, unified workflow.
