GreyNoise Boosts Threat Response with Real-Time Blocklists & SOAR
▼ Summary
– GreyNoise Intelligence launched three new capabilities to help security teams detect, block, and respond faster to automated cyber threats, including Real-time Dynamic Blocklists, new GreyNoise feeds, and SOAR integrations.
– AI and bots have accelerated cyberattacks, creating a speed gap where traditional reactive security models fail to respond in time, leaving networks vulnerable.
– Cybercriminals use automated tools to exploit vulnerabilities at scale, with attack activity often spiking before vulnerabilities are even publicly announced.
– GreyNoise’s Real-Time Dynamic Blocklists and push-based feeds provide real-time threat intelligence, enabling defenders to block malicious IPs instantly and receive automatic updates.
– SOAR integrations automate threat response, allowing security teams to block threats, enrich investigations, and trigger alerts without manual intervention, improving efficiency.
GreyNoise has unveiled powerful new features to help security teams combat automated cyber threats with unprecedented speed and accuracy. The latest enhancements include real-time dynamic blocklists, updated intelligence feeds, and deeper SOAR integrations, all designed to give defenders the upper hand against evolving attack methods.
Cybercriminals and state-sponsored actors increasingly rely on AI-driven bots to launch rapid, large-scale attacks. These automated tools scan networks, exploit vulnerabilities, and evade detection at an industrial pace. Research shows that malicious activity often spikes before vulnerabilities are publicly disclosed, leaving traditional reactive security models struggling to keep up.
Real-time dynamic blocklists provide an immediate defense against mass scanning and exploitation attempts. Continuously updated with verified malicious IPs, these lists enable organizations to block threats at the perimeter, across firewalls, VPNs, and load balancers, within seconds. By filtering out opportunistic attackers early, security teams reduce noise and focus on genuine threats.
Traditional threat intelligence often arrives too late, forcing teams to manually pull data from outdated feeds. Push-based GreyNoise feeds eliminate this delay by streaming real-time updates directly to security systems via webhooks. This ensures defenders receive critical intelligence the moment it’s available, rather than waiting for scheduled API queries.
For organizations using SOAR platforms, GreyNoise now offers seamless integrations that automate threat response. Security teams can instantly block known malicious IPs, enrich investigation data, and trigger incident playbooks, all without manual intervention. This accelerates containment while freeing analysts to focus on strategic decision-making.
“Speed is everything in cybersecurity today,” said Andrew Morris, GreyNoise Founder. “By integrating with existing tools like SIEMs, firewalls, and SOAR systems, we help defenders shift from reactive triage to automated, proactive protection.”
With these advancements, GreyNoise aims to close the gap between attackers’ automation and defenders’ response times. The result? Faster threat mitigation, reduced analyst fatigue, and stronger network resilience against relentless cyber campaigns.
