K7 Labs
Finding Cyberthreats before Cyberthreats Find You
K7 Labs was established in 1998 to accelerate the process of cyberthreat discovery and reduce the window of opportunity for cyberattacks. The state-of-the-art research facility analyses hundreds of thousands of threat samples every day and distributes threat definition updates multiple times a day to ensure all K7 users are protected against the latest threats, and provides the K7 Threat Intel Feed Service that powers threat detection in Security Operations Centres (SOCs), and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Network Security solutions.
K7 Labs is the first discoverer of several malware and is the first winner of the Real Time Threat List Contributor of the Year award from the Anti-Malware Testing Standards Organization (AMTSO).
Ecosystem Threat Intelligence
At the heart of all K7 Security solutions is K7 Labs’ Ecosystem Threat Intelligence (K7ETI) which ensures that all K7 solutions utilise the best telemetric data about an adversary’s capabilities and tactics, enabling the proactive prevention of cyberattacks.
