Cyber attacks are very difficult to identify as both attack methods and source locations vary greatly, and on-premise security solutions cannot take investigative action until organizations have been struck by malicious traffic. Identifying threats not only requires prolonged exposure to the threat, but also significant computing and extensive personnel resources to analyze correctly.

The A10 Threat Intelligence Service combines and enhances reputation data from over three dozen security intelligence sources, including DShield, abuse.ch, and Shadowserver, to enable A10's Thunder ADC and TPS to instantly recognize and block traffic from known attack sources.

A10's Threat Intelligence Service provides the following benefits:

  • Protects networks from future threats
  • Blocks threats not covered by implemented security infrastructure
  • Increases network performance and efficiency

With a Threat Intelligence network that continuously charts potential intruders on the Internet, customers can leverage global knowledge to block traffic from malicious Internet locations and offload existing security infrastructures from identifying known bots and attack sources. The A10 Threat Intelligence Service additionally catches security threats that customers' existing defenses may not be designed for, such as spam or phishing sources, or attacks a device simply is not configured for.

A10 Threat Intelligence Service features include:

  • Blocking "Command and Control" computers from communicating with your network
  • Preventing zero-day attacks
  • Cloaking your network from known cybercriminal scans
  • Enhanced, personalized threat intelligence data, based on optional feedback
