A few months ago Pangea partnered with Team Cymru to bring the Pangea IP Intel service to market. Since then we have seen Pangea users leverage that service to query IPs and detect and defend against bots as well as botnets.
Using Pangea's groundbreaking Security Platform as a Service (SPaaS), we are able to provide security APIs to developers, democratizing the world of security so that any developer can develop safe applications. Through key industry partners such as Team Cymru, Pangea makes world class threat intelligence, previously only available to the world’s largest enterprises, available to every developer like you.
Team Cymru tracks over 150 of the world’s most impactful botnet families, creating up to 50 million daily events and gaining insights on over 450,000 unique victim IP addresses. That volume gives you the most up to date and accurate information you need to help protect your site and apps from botnets. Using the Pangea IP Intel service powered by Team Cymru you can determine if an IP is one of 10 types of malicious actors such as:
a botnet victim
a botnet controller
a password bruteforce attack source
a distributor of phishing or spam campaigns
This means you can calibrate actions based on your level of risk tolerance, enabling the developer to instantly reject risky IPs and greatly improve service.
We have put together a video on the better together story which reviews how our partnership helps you:
Pangea’s goal is to deliver the world’s best security services to developers. While we deliver a number in-house services, partners like Team Cymru maintain essential data sets with decades of experience which can't be replicated. Together we will bring a bot detection data set to even more developers which can be used in products to detect credential stuffing, denial of service attacks, or even click or view botting.
