Integration Benefits

Propels investigations

Investigators can transform a domain name from any source into a comprehensive set of entities, connections, and dynamic properties to reveal actors, surface infrastructure, and highlight risk. These new entities greatly increase the chance of intersection with existing graph data from other sources, helping expose key features of emerging or existing campaigns.

Guides and supports analytical workflows

Analysts can quickly identify which graph node to pivot on by consulting the Guided Pivot counts, which indicate the number of domain records present in the Iris database that contain that same data point. From here, analysts can infer connection between one domain and another and map out a potential threat actor or group’s infrastructure patterns.

Builds confidence in investigative conclusions

DomainTools has made its name collecting, organizing, and provisioning the most comprehensive, timely, and accurate Internet infrastructure data available anywhere. Investigations using DomainTools and Maltego are based on ground-truth data observed across the entire Internet and updated in near real time.

Leverage DomainTools Iris Data for

Threat Hunting

By developing a more complete picture of the infrastructure adversaries are using in campaigns, threat hunters can identify patterns of infrastructure use that allow them to anticipate future moves by adversaries. This enables blocking or alerting on emerging campaigns before they cause further harm.

Incident Response

Given a DNS indicator of compromise such as a domain or IP address associated with suspicious traffic, incident responders can use the DomainTools Maltego integration to find correlated infrastructure that may intersect with other, previously un-flagged traffic from the protected environment.

Fraud or Crime Analysis

Uniting the DomainTools Iris Investigate database of Internet infrastructure data with other sources that characterize criminal activity or actors, analysts can develop key insights and collect evidence on cybercrime and fraud events.
