Blocking the Known: Real-Time Protection in Action with CyberCheck360

Why Blocking the Known is Still Critical

While the cybersecurity world often talks about “advanced persistent threats” and zero-day exploits, the truth is that known threats still account for the majority of successful attacks.

From reused malware variants to phishing domains and botnet IPs, attackers rely on speed, volume, and reuse. Blocking known threats quickly and effectively can stop a breach before it starts.

What Are “Known Threats”?

Known threats refer to malicious indicators or behaviors that have already been identified and verified by threat intelligence sources. These include:

• IP addresses of botnet command-and-control servers

• Phishing URLs and domains

• Malware hashes from sandbox detections

• Malicious file signatures

• Suspicious behavior patterns recognized in prior attacks

How CyberCheck360 Blocks Known Threats Instantly

CyberCheck360 offers two key mechanisms to stop known threats in their tracks:

1️⃣ EDL Integration for Analyst-Driven Blocking

• Security analysts review threat intelligence, honeypot logs, and suspicious indicators

• Verified malicious IPs or domains are added to CyberCheck360's External Dynamic List (EDL)

• The EDL is automatically synced with all integrated firewalls

• Result: The threat is blocked across all perimeters within seconds

2️⃣ Automated Detection from Firewall Logs

• Organizations forward their firewall logs to CyberCheck360

• The platform analyzes the logs in real time for matches with known threat intelligence

• When a match is found, CyberCheck360 automatically adds the IOC to the EDL

• Result: The malicious activity is blocked instantly without human involvement

Why This Real-Time Blocking Matters

Challenge	CyberCheck360 Solution
Delayed response to known IOCs	Real-time EDL updates for instant blocking
Manual firewall rule management	Centralized, automatic distribution of blocklists
Fragmented defenses across vendors	Vendor-neutral support for multi-firewall environments
Analyst fatigue from repetitive tasks	Automates known-threat blocking so analysts can focus

Real-World Impact: A Day in the Life of a SOC

Without CyberCheck360:

• An analyst spots a suspicious IP from logs

• Verifies it through external sources

• Requests firewall rule changes via ticketing

• Hours later, the IP is finally blocked

With CyberCheck360:

• The platform detects a known malicious IP in incoming logs

• Adds the IP to the EDL in real time

• Firewalls block the IP automatically — in seconds

That’s hours saved and exposure reduced to near zero.

How It Supports Multi-Firewall Environments

CyberCheck360’s EDL feature supports all major firewall brands, including:

• Palo Alto Networks

• Fortinet

• Cisco ASA / Firepower

• Check Point

• Sophos

You only manage the blocklist once — CyberCheck360 ensures it’s deployed everywhere.

Your Frontline Against Known Threats

Known threats are still among the most damaging — not because they’re clever, but because they slip past slow, manual defenses.

CyberCheck360 gives you the tools to detect, validate, and block these threats before they reach your network. Whether through analyst review or automated log analysis, your firewalls stay one step ahead.
