the assistance of a managed service. Customers benefit from the
research and findings of the Level 3 Threat Research Labs team, the

How It Works:
- Adaptive Threat Intelligence is a one-stop shop for customers.
They no longer have to purchase reputation feeds for malicious
activity, manage on-premises boxes or have in-house resources to
correlate threat data and identify risks on their network.
- Adaptive Threat Intelligence is a cloud-based service that
handles these requirements, providing a personalized, ranked list
of actual malicious communications, no hardware needed.
- Sampled customer data is correlated against known malicious
communications using Level 3 proprietary analysis from threat data
sources, including its DNS, CDN and MSS infrastructure, and
third-party data.
- Customers receive near real-time alerts for correlated events
on their network.
- Level 3 SOC experts are available to provide additional
context, and if needed, to mitigate threats or escalating
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks.
- The interactive near-real time reporting system also provides
historical views for additional analysis.
Key Facts:
- As a global network services provider, Level 3 has an expansive
view of worldwide Internet traffic and a broad view of risks. Level
3 takes action on wide-scale threats, protecting customers from
known malicious actors.
- The solution distills actual communications, indicators of
compromise (IoC), between customers and bad actors. The customer
specific event information is available in the portal, security
information and event management (SIEM) systems and email
alerts.
- Customers benefit from having a team of Level 3 security
experts to rely on for monitoring, enabling them to use their
constrained security resources with greater efficiency.
- Level 3 collaborates across the threat intelligence community,
benefiting its network and customers.
- Adaptive Threat Intelligence aligns with Level 3's other
secure, efficient solutions like Adaptive Network Security and DDoS
Mitigation Service.
Features:
- Near real-time monitoring and threat notification
- Portal-based, actionable, automated and context-rich
reports
- 24/7 SOC expert support
- Integrated event feed to customers' security information and
event management (SIEM) platform

Key Quote:
Christina Richmond, Program
Director, Security Services with Infrastructure Services Research
Group, IDC
"CIOs and CISOs I speak with tell me the landscape is complex
both internally and externally. They need visibility into the
threats relevant to their company so they can prioritize security
initiatives. The key for these IT leaders is to work with a company
that has a breadth and depth of threat intelligence and makes the
information consumable and relevant. Level 3's Adaptive Threat
Intelligence combines customized intelligence and expertise to
provide customers with actionable communications, specific to their
network. With IDC predicting intelligence-based products will be
ten times more valuable to enterprises by 2020, now is the time to
invest in a solution."
Anthony Christie, Chief
Marketing Officer, Level 3
"Investigating threats using intelligence or reputation feeds is
painful for customers. They need a smart filter for their security
alerts to help them understand their priorities and to allocate
resources. We correlate and prioritize live communications and rank
the potential risks for customers, taking the burden off their IT
and security teams so they can focus on their core business
initiatives."
