Verizon announced its new Threat Intelligence Platform service on June 5, bringing insight from the company's broad cyber-security incident investigation operations to enterprises.  

With the new subscription-based service, cyber-security threat intelligence that comes from Verizon's own network is being made available via an integration with the Anomali Threat Platform. The intelligence provided by Verizon also benefits from the company's Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) and the Verizon Risk Report (VRR), both of which provide further insight into the state of cyber-risks.  

"We are in a special place in the security context since, more often than not, because of our network, we sit between cyber-criminals and their victims," Bryan Sartin, executive director of Global Security Services at Verizon, told eWEEK. "It puts us in the position of having certain optics, and a by-product of those optics is intelligence that makes a difference for detection, and especially in response to cyber-attacks in motion."
