The Securonix Threat Research Labs team monitors the cybersecurity threat landscape, including extremely dynamic threat sources, DGA, internal and external threat intelligence sources, fraudulent transactions, malicious actors, dark web, and more. The STR team analyzes and deconstructs the activity across these information sources to identify behavioral anomalies and indicators of compromise for cyber threats, exploitable vulnerabilities, insider threats, financial fraud, nation-state activity, application attacks, and many other types of cyber threats.

The STR team works closely with Securonix’s data science team, led by Chief Data Scientist Igor Baikolov; content development team; and product team. This close collaboration ensures that research results become actionable in the form of behaviors, artifacts, and forensic search queries that SOC analysts can quickly use in their own environments to stay ahead of the threats. The ultimate goal is to ensure that all Securonix customers stay protected by having the necessary Securonix threat models and automated mitigation actions as soon as the threat is investigated.
