SafeBreach, the leader in Breach and Attack Simulation, announced an expansion in its partnership with†Visa Threat Intelligence†to provide an accelerated ability to integrate and “weaponize” the most current and comprehensive threat intelligence specific to the global payments ecosystem. SafeBreach is the first Breach and Attack Simulation provider to integrate Visa threat intelligence feeds via the Visa Developer Center API.
Processing more than a hundred billion payment transactions a year, Visa delivers exclusive indicators of compromise (IoCs) that can provide an unmatched level of visibility and understanding of threats and fraud specific to the payments ecosystem. Through this partnership, Visa IoCs add to the largest and most thorough simulation knowledge base in the industry in the SafeBreach Hacker’s Playbook. They augment an already powerful tool for payment industry customers that allows them to validate security defenses against new simulations of real-world, critical attacks in less than 24 hours.
“Historically, the payments industry has been the sector under the most widespread and aggressive attacks from all manner of cyber actor,” said Guy Bejerano, CEO and co-founder of SafeBreach. “As such, it is a sector that requires the utmost vigilance, agility, and preparedness to not only withstand assault, but to repel it. With an ability to almost immediately simulate attacks just emerging in the marketplace using exclusive IoCs, and validate defenses specific to each customer’s environment, means a customer can quantify the impact of an attack before it happens.”
“Trust and security are the cornerstones of the payment system, and we want to work with all stakeholders to make their businesses stronger and safer,” said Mark Nelsen, senior vice president, Risk and Authentication Products, Visa. “Through our work with SafeBreach, we’re empowering customers to identify and stop attacks by providing relevant, actionable threat intelligence.”
The SafeBreach ability to weaponize threat intelligence by transforming IoCs into hacker breach methods enables security teams to truly understand the activities that represent specific priority threats, and allows security analysts to dramatically improve their ability to anticipate future attacks, challenge their security defenses and train their security operations center (SOC) teams. The Hacker’s Playbook also incorporates the most comprehensive set of intelligence feeds for global visibility. In addition to Visa, SafeBreach integration partnerships include FireEye’s iSIGHT Intelligence, MITRE ATT&CK Framework, and US-CERT Alerts.
The SafeBreach centralized management system incorporates the complete Hackers’ Playbook of breach methodologies, and manages a distributed network of breach simulators from a centralized location. SafeBreach simulators perform the role of the attacker, simulating traffic within the cyber kill chain.
