More than half a million new malware variants are discovered every day. Generic feeds don't help OT defenders — precision intelligence does.
More than half a million new malware variants are discovered every single day. Once discovered, cybersecurity practitioners add them to industry-wide data feeds that fuel a wide variety of security technologies. But there's a problem.
The volume of incoming threats is so high that most analysts can't use this data in a timely manner. Manually querying the threat intelligence database and looking for the one threat that matches your particular operating environment can take hours — precious time that analysts don't have.
Why OT Needs a Different Approach
Generic intelligence is built for the IT majority — Windows, common SaaS, common malware families. OT environments run Siemens, Rockwell, Schneider, ABB, GE; they speak Modbus, DNP3, S7Comm, Profinet; they live behind specific historians and HMIs. A generic feed full of Windows commodity malware indicators is mostly noise.
What Precision Looks Like
- Intelligence filtered to your installed vendors, protocols, and asset models.
- Coverage of OT-specific actor groups (Sandworm, Volt Typhoon, Voltzite, GraphSteel, ELECTRUM, Xenotime).
- Indicators delivered as content for your monitoring platforms (Snort, Suricata, vendor IDS, passive monitoring tools).
- Context that explains the threat to engineering audiences, not just SOC analysts.
- Updates timed to when the threat is relevant to you, not just when it was published.
Precision intelligence is the difference between a SOC drowning in alerts and a SOC defending the plant. Maverc's OT threat intelligence service is built around this principle.
