Smart Hive has created a platform that will allow organizations to share real-time, relevant and actionable intelligence among each other while maintaining confidentiality. Smart Hive is not vendor or protocol dependent; for example, if Company X using Cisco IDS detects and stops a malicious activity we can provide Company Y with actionable threat intel in Palo Alto format. We can do this in less than 5 minutes. We can work on any vendor any protocol and do this almost real-time. Think of us as the Rosetta Stone of security.Threat actors count on organizations inability to communicate threats with each other. They attack thousands of organizations, leaving each organization to detect and stop the attack on their own. Smart Hive takes that advantage away from the threat actors by allowing organizations to share what they are seeing and how they are stopping it. We don’t just share data from one company to another; we apply intelligence to the data and only share what is relevant, thus preventing false positives..
