Challenge

Infrastructure rotates. Fingerprints don't

An analyst spends a day assembling reporting, sightings, and infrastructure into a picture of an adversary and writes it up. Six weeks later a colleague needs the same picture, opens the write-up, and finds that every domain in it is dead. The last campaign might be offline, but those fingerprints are shared across the threat actor.
  • Track fingerprints that outlast any single domain
  • Link new infrastructure to a known threat actor
  • Proactively block hosts in near real-time

Across multiple campaigns: the domains and IPs turn over, while sharing common features

What a profile holds

Relevant Context, supported by Validin

Attribution connects the infrastructure inside one campaign. A profile tracks what an operator does across many campaigns. Validin ingests context from hundreds of public feeds and aggregates them for users.

Indicators

Discover past and current infrastructure leveraged by a threat actor

References

Find direct links to blogs and external tools that identify exactly how a researcher associated infrastructure with this actor. All the evidence, directly at your fingertips.

In practice

Behind a new domain, is a threat actor already categorized

  1. 01

    An alert arrives with no reporting behind it

    A newly registered domain arrives, absent from any feed.

  2. 02

    Its fingerprints match an existing profile

    Shared DNS, hosting, and certificate issuer align with a profile built months earlier from an unrelated incident.

  3. 03

    The asset is new; the operator is not

    Attribution proceeds from an existing body of work rather than from the beginning.

  4. 04

    The profile is updated once its publicly reported

    The new infrastructure is recorded against the actor, improving future identification.
