The Velocity Gap: Why We Built ThreatSwift to Kill the PDF Report
The cyber security industry has a data problem. But it’s not the one you think.
For the last decade, the industry has been obsessed with collection. We built bigger data lakes, subscribed to more threat feeds, and deployed more sensors. Today, the average SOC (Security Operations Center) receives millions of signals a day.
We have successfully achieved Total Visibility.
And yet, we are still getting breached.
Why? Because visibility without velocity is just noise.
At ThreatSwift, we realized that the greatest vulnerability in modern cyber defense isn’t a software bug or a weak password—it’s the time lag between Detection and Remediation. We call this The Velocity Gap.
The 48-Hour Problem
Here is the standard workflow for most National CERTs and ISPs today:
- A threat researcher identifies a botnet Command & Control (C2) server.
- That IP is added to a massive CSV file or a PDF report.
- An analyst manually downloads the report, filters it, looks up the ASN (Autonomous System Number) to find the owner, and drafts an email.
- The email sits in an “Abuse Desk” inbox for 24 hours.
By the time the network owner actually patches the router or blocks the port, 48 to 72 hours have passed. In the world of ransomware, 48 hours is an eternity.
Enter ThreatSwift: Defense at Machine Speed
We built ThreatSwift to eliminate the manual middleman. We are not just another Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) designed to make pretty charts for your dashboard. We are a Logistics Engine for Remediation.
Our philosophy is simple: If a machine detected the threat, a machine should route the alert.
With ThreatSwift Orchestrator, we have automated the entire chain:
- Ingestion: We pull data from any source (Commercial, Open Source, or Gov).
- Harmonization: We normalize the messy data into a standard language.
- Mapping: Our engine instantly identifies exactly who owns the compromised asset (University X, Corporation Y, or ISP Z).
- Routing: We deliver the alert to the specific stakeholder via API or direct notification in milliseconds.
The Cognitive Shift: AI-Powered Intelligence
Speed is half the battle. Context is the other half.
Traditional Early Warning Services (EWS) fail because they lack context. They tell you what happened, but not why it matters.
This is why we launched ThreatSwift Cognitive EWS. By integrating Generative AI and Natural Language Processing (NLP), we have democratized threat hunting. You no longer need to write complex SQL queries to understand your attack surface. You can simply ask:
“Show me all exposed RDP ports in our London data center that are communicating with known Russian botnets.”
The AI parses the global threat landscape and your internal telemetry to give you an answer, not a spreadsheet.
The Shield and The Sword
Finally, we believe that you cannot defend what you cannot test. This is why we introduced SwiftStrike VAPT. While our EWS acts as your shield, SwiftStrike acts as your sword, continuously probing your perimeter to validate that your defenses are actually working.
Welcome to the New Standard
The era of the “Weekly Threat Report” is over. It was too slow, too static, and too manual.
Welcome to the era of Orchestration. Welcome to ThreatSwift.
