The newly-established Asia-Pacific Threat and Analytics Center, delivers real-time insights into cyber threats for both public and private sector customers.
The facility complements Verizon’s nine existing Security Operations Centers (SOCs) across the world, which together analyse more than 60 billion security events annually.
Verizon uses these facilities to monitor its own expansive global communications network, and its own and externally provided threat intelligence using big data analytics, along with deep forensic experience.
This is combined with added intelligence from over 200 open source data and multiple commercial feeds, gleaned from Verizon’s sharing relationships with law enforcement agencies and global Computer Emergency Response Teams around the globe.
According to the Australian Cyber Security Center 2016 Threat Report, “between July 2015 and June 2016, CERT Australia responded to more than 14,000 cybersecurity incidents affecting Australian business, 418 of which involved systems of national interest and critical infrastructure.”
