OTX Pulses provide a summary of the threat, a view into the software targeted, and the related indicators of compromise (IOC) that can be used to detect the threats. Via OTX, more than 100,000 participants from 140 countries contribute over 19 million threat indicators daily. It provides an opportunity to, share the latest information about emerging threats, attack methods, and malicious actors, promoting greater security across the entire community. Open Threat Exchange (OTX) solves this problem by enabling everyone and anyone to create, collaborate, and consume threat data.įounded by AlienVault (now AT&T Cybersecurity), it is the largest open threat intelligence community that’s 100% free, enabling collaborative defense with actionable, community-powered threat data. Subscribers cannot interact with peers or threat researchers on emerging threats, as each recipient is isolated from one another. Traditional threat-sharing model is a one-way communication between researchers/vendors and subscribers.
