Threat Intelligence
Workflows

Ten detailed agent workflows for proactive threat hunting, malware infrastructure mapping, C2 domain detection, threat actor attribution, dark web monitoring, exploit kit tracking, APT campaign analysis, vulnerability exploitation detection, threat feed enrichment, and predictive threat modeling — powered by domain intelligence for preemptive network defense.

1Malware Infrastructure Mapping

AI agent maps the complete infrastructure of active malware campaigns — C2 servers, download stages, exfiltration endpoints, and backup domains — using domain intelligence correlation.

1
Seed Domain Expansion
Starting from a single known malicious domain, agent uses domain intelligence to discover related infrastructure — shared registrars, hosting, creation dates, and naming patterns.
