Team Cymru, the global leader in internet intelligence, has announced a strategic partnership and integration with OpenCTI, the widely adopted open-source threat intelligence platform developed by Filigran. The collaboration embeds Team Cymru’s Pure Signal intelligence and Scout capabilities directly into OpenCTI, providing defenders with instant global enrichment, automated threat hunting, and unified context without leaving the platform.

Quick Intel

  • Team Cymru integrates Pure Signal and Scout into OpenCTI for real-time global visibility and enrichment.
  • Analysts gain immediate context on IPs, including controllers, VPNs, proxies, and campaign associations.
  • Integration enables automated proactive hunting for emerging malicious infrastructure like ransomware or DPRK-aligned activity.
  • Complex Scout searches automatically convert to STIX indicators for monitoring, alerting, and sharing in OpenCTI.
  • Fusion of internal incident data with NetFlow-derived global insights improves threat understanding and accelerates triage.
  • Available now for all OpenCTI users, the integration supports proactive, intelligence-driven defense.

Transforming Analyst Workflows

The integration replaces manual lookups and tool pivots with on-demand enrichment directly in OpenCTI. Security teams can quickly assess whether an indicator represents a command-and-control server, anonymization service, or part of a larger adversary campaign. This immediate clarity shortens triage time and enables faster, more confident response decisions.

By combining internal telemetry with Team Cymru’s global perspective on NetFlow-derived insights, infrastructure classifications, and traffic patterns, organizations achieve a more complete view of threats and the actors behind them.

Enabling Proactive Threat Hunting

The partnership shifts operations from reactive to proactive. Automated playbooks continuously scan for newly established malicious infrastructure, such as ransomware setups or state-aligned activity, allowing defenders to detect and disrupt threats early. Dynamic indicator generation turns Scout search results into STIX objects, supporting ongoing monitoring, alerting, and community sharing within the OpenCTI ecosystem.

“Team Cymru’s mission is to empower the world’s defenders with the most comprehensive visibility into malicious activity,” said Will Baxter, Senior Security Researcher at Team Cymru. “Integrating Pure Signal with OpenCTI gives security teams an unmatched analytic advantage by enriching investigations with high-quality, globally-sourced intelligence from day zero.”

Strengthening the Open-Source Intelligence Community

From Filigran’s perspective, the integration enhances operational value while reinforcing open collaboration.

“The strength of the threat-intelligence community comes from openness and collaboration. Integrating Team Cymru’s Pure Signal with OpenCTI empowers defenders everywhere with richer context and faster analytic workflows, all while preserving the transparency and extensibility of our platform. We are proud to partner with an organization committed to elevating the global security ecosystem,” said Samuel Hassine, CEO and Co-Founder of Filigran.

This partnership equips analysts with expanded visibility—comparable to shifting from internal building cameras to an entire city’s traffic network—enabling earlier threat detection and more effective defense.
