In our modern today’s threat environment landscape, reactive defense is no longer enough. Modern security teams need the power to predict, prioritize, and respond to threats before they become incidents. That’s why we’re excited to announce a strategic integration between NetWitness, a leading threat detection and response platform, and BforeAI, a pioneer in predictive attack intelligence and brand protection. surface management and threat anticipation.
This partnership represents more than a technical alignment, it’s a transformation in how we enable SOC teams to think pre-emptively proactively, act faster, and reduce (or eliminate) the dwell time of adversaries.
Why NetWitness + BforeAI?
NetWitness provides deep visibility and analytics across logs, network packets, and endpoints powering rapid incident detection and response. BforeAI brings real-time, behavioral AI to predict and automatically pre-empt malicious external attacks predictive intelligence by mapping the external attack surface and using AI to identify imminent threats before they touch your environment.
Together, this integration enables customers to:
- Anticipate attacks before they hit
- Correlate external and internal telemetry seamlessly
- Accelerate threat validation and triage workflows
- Align security operations to business risk in real-time
Real-World Use Case #1: Ransomware Pre-emption
Before: SOC analysts often deal with ransomware post-breach, relying on internal indicators of compromise.
With NetWitness + BforeAI:
BforeAI flags early infrastructure linked to ransomware actor staging activity such as command-and-control domains and bulletproof hosting services. NetWitness correlates this intel with east-west network movement or anomalous access patterns internally. SOC teams can block connections, initiate endpoint isolation, or adjust detections before encryption begins.
Real-World Use Case #2: Third-Party Risk Visibility
Before: Supply chain compromises go unnoticed until too late, especially when vendors operate outside of visibility perimeters.
With NetWitness + BforeAI:
BforeAI can continuously monitor your supply chain ecosystem, flagging potential exposure through leaked credentials, typo squatted domains, or emerging zero-day chatter. NetWitness contextualizes the risk, linking third-party telemetry to internal access logs or abnormal authentication behavior, allowing risk-based response decisions.
Real-World Use Case #3: Domain Impersonation Detection
Before: Organizations detect phishing domains after users have clicked, or credentials have been stolen.
With NetWitness + BforeAI:
BforeAI predicts detects domain impersonation attempts in the early registration phase even before sites go live. These indicators are automatically fed into NetWitness as external IOCs, enabling automated alerting and autonomously initiated domain takedowns efforts.
Real-World Use Case #4: Prioritized Threat Hunting
Before: Analysts waste cycles chasing generic alerts or false positives.
With NetWitness + BforeAI:
By ingesting prioritized threat actor behaviors from BforeAI, NetWitness hunts can be automatically seeded with high-fidelity, 97% unique predictive intelligence that is, on average, 18 days ahead of conventional threat intelligence feeds. This turns generic hypothesis-driven hunting into intelligence-driven, precision-focused operations, saving time and reducing alert fatigue.
A Better Way Forward: Unified Predictive Threat Intelligence Meets Unified Detection
This integration isn’t just about two tools talking to each other, it’s about empowering the next generation of cybersecurity operations. For enterprises who want to move from a passive to a proactive stance, the NetWitness + BforeAI solution bridges the gap between external threat awareness and internal detection/response.
We’re excited about the innovation this brings to our joint customers and the tangible impact it will have on the SOC.
