THREAT FLASH:

37K NEW CONFIRMATIONS IN AUGUST

Threat Research Team

August was another busy month for Augur. Our patented predictive threat intelligence flagged 36.9K IP addresses, all verified as malicious by independent third-party sources. That's roughly 37,000 attack vectors identified and blocked months, and in some cases years, before weaponization. It's preemptive protection against fast-moving, AI-powered threat actors.

Augur preemptively identifies the operational backbone of sophisticated cyber campaigns. It identifies the command-and-control servers, exfiltration staging nodes, and delivery infrastructure that advanced threat actors depend on. This includes infrastructure established by nation-state groups, ransomware operators, and organized cybercriminal networks, well before their activities escalate into public-facing incidents.

Let’s take a look at what Augur saw in August.

How Does Augur Work?

Augur uses ML-powered behavioral modeling to detect the buildup of cybercriminal infrastructure online before attacks. We identify thousands of malicious IPs, IP ranges, and domains every month. Augur identifies threats on average 60 days before they’re first reported by traditional sources. Our predictions are highly accurate, with a near-zero false-positive rate (0.01%), providing organizations using Augur with preemptive protection against cyberattacks, zero-days, and novel threats.
