Abstract

A threat analytics system expends significant resources to acquire, structure, and filter the threat indicators provided to the client-side monitoring systems. To protect the threat indicators from misuse, the threat analytics system only provides enough information about the threat indicators to the client-side systems to allow the client-side systems to detect past and ongoing threats. Specifically, the threat analytics system provides obfuscated threat indicators to the client-side monitoring systems. The obfuscated threat indicators enable the client-side systems to detect threats while protecting the threat indicators from misuse or malicious actors.
