Key Products

ThreatQ

To understand and stop threats more effectively and efficiently, existing security infrastructure and people need to work smarter, not harder. ThreatQ serves as an open and extensible threat intelligence platform that allows users to automate the intelligence lifecycle, quickly understand threats, make better decisions and accelerate detection and response.

SOAR

SOAR connects disparate systems to orchestrate and automate response. Existing SOAR platforms have taken a process-driven approach to connect products within a workflow; however, for optimal detection and response, a data-driven approach is needed to prioritize data and connect systems with that data. Automating and orchestrating noisy data just amplifies the noise.

XDR

Gartner defines XDR as solutions that “automatically collect and correlate data from multiple security products to improve threat detection and provide an incident response capability.” To achieve XDR, users need to connect all detection and response products from all vendors from cloud to on-premises. Add to that the challenge of connecting third-party data and intelligence for context and they are faced with a tall task. What is needed is an Open XDR architecture so that all systems and sources can work together, sending the right data to the right tools at the right time for accelerated detection and response.

Company Responsibility

Helping Rhinos is an international rhino charity forging innovative conservation, community and education initiatives to ensure the long-term survival of the rhino and other endangered wildlife in their natural habitat.

They work with a small number of partners, predominantly in Africa, who meet some or all of the following criteria, they:

– Preserve or develop new habitat for rhinos and other species

– Protect rhinos from poaching

– Provide information and education on the importance of the sustaining the rhino population to local communities and broader populations

– Sustain the species via other sustainable and scalable projects

Helping Rhinos Partnership + Adoptions

ThreatQuotient became an official partner of Helping Rhinos in 2019. To date, they have adopted four rhinos. The first, Mthetho, was adopted in honor of World Rhino Day 2019. ThreatQuotient then adopted three orphaned rhinos to represent each region the company serves customers: Makhosi for AMER, Mpilo for EMEA and Bhanoyi for APAC. For World Rhino Day 2020, ThreatQuotient is sponsoring a member of South Africa’s first all-female anti-poaching unit, Black Mambas, named Nocry. The Black Mamba patrols 50,000 hectares of the Balule Nature Reserve, part of the Greater Kruger National Park, raising awareness of the rhino poaching crisis in surrounding villages.

ThreatQuotient’s support of Helping Rhinos directly enables conservation education programs in the areas surrounding Kariega Game Reserve that reduces the likelihood of community members turning to poaching, keeps the Kariega anti-poaching unit up and running and enables them to keep rhinos safe within their area of operation. Each rhino adoption provides milk, food and essential medication for the rhinos, as well as security and overall maintenance of the rhino facilities and the orphanage.
