Centralized threat intelligence has improved our visibility and accelerated incident response
You can find out new threats and security incidents with SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence. You can see the new vulnerabilities when you are using your products. This is very useful. SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence has improved security in my organization, but there are some problems. Sometimes there are too many alarms, which can become quite tiring. We have a lot of information infrastructures, and SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence has improved our security, but we do experience some alert fatigue. There are a lot of web servers. We also integrated SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence with the SIEM. We can see together, and we can see all of the threats and new threats, especially. If you integrate all internal sources, IP addresses, and services to SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence, you can view all of the sources together in a single monitor and area. You can also view all the tickets and vulnerabilities and threats. This is very useful.

Improves security alerts and analysis with comprehensive insights
I would like to see improvements in the score consistency and accuracy. VirusTotal should add more details like those from competitors such as URL Void or Symantec URL Checker, which show the category of websites. The addition of a file selection option to analyze files would also enhance the service.
