Introducing CloudScout

CloudScout^TM delivers IID's market leading extended enterprise defense services combined with the cutting edge visualization and data management tools made by Lookingglass Cyber Solutions.  CloudScout is a 24/7 always-on hosted service that delivers protection for a client and its extended enterprise, without requiring the client to dedicate any resources to analyzing data or situations.  CloudScout protects vulnerable infrastructure connections including BGP and DNS, as well as providing market leading phishing and malware detection and mitigation services.

This service is an option for enterprise customers who realize the benefit of maintaining expanded visibility into the global Internet for tracking connectivity, route, prefix or nameserver hi-jacking, and malicious activity through phishing urls, but do not have the human resources to run such a comprehensive external security system internally.

When the CloudScout analyst team alerts a client of a live threat, CloudScout's visualization tools enable the client to quickly understand the threat, and empower the client to do its own investigation - quickly drilling down to the root cause and relationships that are affected by the threat.

CloudScout will detect, diagnose, mitigate and provide visualization of threats to the extended enterprise in these areas:

Route Connectivity
