How To Defend Against Threats With A Cyber Early Warning System
Security teams are constantly on the lookout for hidden threat infrastructure that isn’t already widely known, and doesn’t appear on anyone’s radar. This usually involves analyzing a significant amount of alert data and hunting for emerging domains and IPs that are in the process of being setup, across linked malicious hosting clusters.
SOC and IR teams need to understand when the stormclouds are gathering on the horizon to avoid a costly breach, with the attacker breathing down their neck, and precious company data in their sights.
In this blog, we’ll talk about how Silent Push provides a preemptive early warning system using Indicators of Future Attack™ (IOFA)™, that include a complete view of any threat infrastructure that’s in the process of being deployed, and the importance of full and actionable discovery of linked domains and IPs.
What Is A Cyber Early Warning System?
Cyber attacks are like a hurricane that quickly sweeps across an area, and wreaks havoc everywhere.
A traditional IOC-led cyber defense is not able to predict when the storm is coming, how big it is, or where it’s going to happen. It can only tell you where the storm has been, rather than when it’s coming, and if you’re in its path.
Silent Push uses proprietary IOFA™ data, that isn’t available anywhere else, to tell you when the black clouds are on the horizon and trouble is brewing, so that your teams can take proactive steps to batten down the hatches and stay safe in the face of targeted attacks to your organization.
How Does Silent Push Anticipate Threat Actor Behavior?
Silent Push achieves this by helping to map out the 98% of threat infrastructure that goes undetected by the security community at any one time.
No other cybersecurity solution can forecast and preemptively reveal malicious activity that’s on the horizon, yet to be fully weaponized, and far out of reach of traditional detection mechanisms.
Meteorologists collect and process vast amounts of data to strive to reliably predict weather patterns.
So do we. And, we focus on providing accurate, up-to-date indicators, which means fewer false positives in your alert feeds.
Our proprietary collection and aggregation engine joins the dots between billions of observable data points on the Internet – domains, IPs, hosting information, web content, and more – to form an accurate, complete and reliable picture of global threat activity that gives teams all the intelligence they need to pinpoint emerging threats, and stay one step ahead of adversaries.
Our IOFA™ data is delivered as finished intelligence enabling security teams to cut through the noise, and action alerts with confidence.
How Does Silent Push Provide A Cyber Early Warning System?
All of this data is fantastic, but how does that help you block attacks? It’s quite simple. It’s not available anywhere else.
IOFA™ are exclusive to Silent Push. No other vendor has the same ability collect, aggregate, cluster and enrich global DNS and web content data within a single platform that helps to reveal 100% of the attack landscape, including hidden infrastructure that’s yet to be discovered.
Teams can use the platform to build out their own predictive models related to named threats to their organization, and receive automated alerts on changes in key data patterns that indicates a storm is brewing, and it’s time to take action.
We deliver IOFA™ through an online management platform and API that not only flags attacks pre-launch, but makes it easy to perform instant and comprehensive analysis on any unknown indicators that warrant an investigation, drastically reducing the amount of time it takes to get a complete view of any potential threat landscape.

Level-up Splunk with Silent Push IOFA™ data
Challenge: Operationalizing large amounts of CTI data at scale
A leading U.S.-based finance company was facing difficulties correlating the large amounts of threat intelligence data that the organization collected via Splunk.
Our customer needed to pass noisy Splunk data streams through a series of high-confidence validations to produce true positive alerts, across a range of workflows that interacted with numerous other cybersecurity platforms, and inform teams on where their collective efforts should be focused.
In doing so, the organization wanted to act quicker – and with more confidence – on various APT infrastructure targeting their organization, across a range of attack vectors.
Leadership tasked itself with reducing alert fatigue, and improving productivity by reducing the number of false positive correlations that occurred across the security stack with a slicker, more reliable series of integrations.
Solution: Using the Silent Push Splunk integration to correlate threat data
Silent Push features native integrations with Splunk – via two dedicated SplunkBase apps for SOAR and SIEM – that connects a Splunk instance with IOFA™ data, via the Silent Push API.
Silent Push passes a range of enriched data types through to Splunk that can either act as a starting point for CTI investigations, or used to corroborate data that’s already been passed through to Splunk from perimeter defenses, or from another cybersecurity platform.
Supported data types include:
- Domain and IP Information: Domain risk scores, live WHOIS information, and certificate data
- Reputation scores: ASN, nameserver, and subnet reputation
- Passive DNS data: Forward and reverse lookups, and proprietary metrics such as IP diversity scores
- IOFA™ feeds: Live, curated lists of true positive domains and IPs related to a specific TTP, attack vector, and APT group
- Enrichment information: Contextual data for individual domains and IPs across 150+ categories
Once they’d onboarded, our customer used their API key to integrate their Splunk instance with our first-party IOFA™ data, to fulfil a range of use cases, including (but not limited to):
- High-confidence domain scoring
- Known malicious infrastructure
- URL, email sender, IP and hostname enrichment
Using our integrations, the customer was able to adjust their security stack in such a way that made it quicker and easier to monitor and block both known and hidden infrastructure, by correlating existing threat data and gaining insight on emerging domains and IPs as they were being deployed, without needing to rely on stale post-breach intelligence for validation.
Custom correlation and indicators dashboards provided them with an at-a-glance view of their entire attack landscape, including any new indicators validated as malicious within Silent Push, and a full breakdown across 150+ enrichment categories with full access to the raw data for additional pivots.
The Silent Push Difference: Immediately actionable SOC and IR intelligence
With so many alerts and data feeds that lack the underlying intelligence for teams to fully evaluate unknown domains and IPs, SecOps staff struggle to create predictive models and detect malicious infrastructure before it’s weaponized.
Silent Push drastically reduces the time it takes for teams to fully operationalize threat intelligence data by providing teams with a wealth of context on each individual hostname and IP that appears on their radar.
Our customer realized an immediate improvement in key metrics such as MTTD and MTTR, and gave staff the breathing space they needed to focus on critical tasks without needing to swim through an ocean of noisy information.
