Team Cymru and OpenCTI: Better Together for Threat Intelligence
At Team Cymru, we believe that shared insights are far more powerful than isolated data. Today, we’re excited to put that philosophy into action by announcing our partnership with OpenCTI, the widely adopted open-source threat intelligence platform developed by Filigran.
By combining Team Cymru’s global threat visibility with OpenCTI’s orchestration and intelligence platform, we’ve created something that goes beyond the sum of its parts. Analysts aren’t just getting more data; they’re gaining faster, smarter, and more actionable intelligence than either system could deliver on its own.
The Challenge: Slow, Fragmented Investigations
Most threat intelligence workflows begin with manual lookups and fragmented data, requiring analysts to ask, “Is this IP malicious? Is this domain part of a campaign?” To answer these questions, they’re forced to context-switch between tools, data sources, and internal logs. This manual process slows down investigations and increases the risk of missed threats.
What’s needed is a unified solution that allows raw, real-time data and operational workflows to multiply each other’s impact. That's precisely what this integration provides.
How The Team Cymru + OpenCTI Integration Multiplies Value
By fusing Team Cymru’s Pure Signal Scout Connector with OpenCTI, we’ve created a unified platform environment where every alert, every search, and every investigation is amplified. Here’s how:
1. Accelerate Triage & Response
Manual lookups are now a thing of the past. Analysts can enrich alerts instantly with global context, determining whether an IP is a controller, VPN, or part of a larger campaign, without ever leaving OpenCTI.
2. Automate Proactive Threat Hunting
Teams can run automated playbooks, useful for tracking discrete threats like DPRK or ransomware infrastructure, immediately after malicious infrastructure lights up. This integration enables continuous discovery, rather than reacting after the fact.
3. Fuse Internal & External Data
By consolidating internal incident logs with Team Cymru’s raw telemetry, traffic patterns, and infrastructure tags, organizations gain a single source of truth for investigations. Visibility within and beyond your firewall.
4. Dynamic Indicator Generation
Scout search results reveal information, like hidden controllers or compromised devices, and automatically converts it into STIX indicators, readying the results for monitoring and alerting.
Why The Team Cymru + OpenCTI Partnership Matters
Combining Team Cymru’s telemetry with OpenCTI’s orchestration allows defenders to turn intelligence into defense-in-action faster than any manual process allows.
- Hunt for new threats continuously without manual effort
- See a unified picture of internal and external threat activity
- Turn intelligence into action immediately, not hours later
We look forward to a continued collaboration with the OpenCTI community as part of our shared commitment to help high-consequence environments move from vulnerability to security.
