Today, cyber attacks are frequently coordinated, sophisticated, and targeted. Geopolitics has complicated the threat landscape as nation-state and cybercriminal actors converge upon shared infrastructure and the abuse of trusted administrator tools to evade detection and further their objectives in data extortion, fraud, or espionage. The rise of software-as-service (SaaS) has also made employee identity data a prized target for cybercriminals, driving new phishing techniques and an underground economy in stolen credentials, information-stealing malware, and third-party breaches.
Security teams overwhelmed by data too often miss time-sensitive cyber threat intelligence (CTI), leaving them on the back foot. However, defenders can turn the tables with a proactive cybersecurity strategy that infuses actionable CTI into every aspect of their security program across threat hunting, detection, response, and remediation.
To shatter the cycle of reactive defense, Intel 471 is launching Verity471, the evolution of our trusted cyber intelligence platform, TITAN. Our next-gen platform gives your security teams the intelligence advantage, helping them know their attack surface better than adversaries, hunt down advanced threats that beat the best detections, and prioritize exposures that matter most to them.
Meet Verity471, the evolution of TITAN
For over a decade, TITAN has served some of the world’s most mature CTI programs, playing a critical role in their proactive cybersecurity strategies and operations against cybercrime. TITAN is also the primary platform our intelligence analysts use to curate, structure, and disseminate the insights we gather on top-tier threat actors, malware, breaches, vulnerabilities, compromised credentials, and marketplaces for cybercriminal products and services. It is the conduit to the unique insights we gain through direct actor engagement and surface with expert analysis of their motivations, tools, and behaviors.
Today, there is pressure on CTI teams to meet diverse business needs as boards and business leaders exert more influence on intelligence priorities to reduce business risk, secure supply chains, reduce third-party risk, and strengthen operational resilience. This shift is happening amid heightened geopolitical tensions that have given rise to cyberwar, destructive cyber attacks, and hacktivists targeting critical infrastructure.
Verity471 is built to meet these challenges by giving teams a single platform to amplify the operational readiness of CTI for intelligence-driven prioritization, threat hunting, threat exposure detection, response, and remediation. The platform, fuelled by Intel 471’s human intelligence (HUMINT) expertise, can help teams apply threat intelligence across all security and business challenges to efficiently reduce risk and drive resilience.
Three Portfolios in One Platform
With Verity471, security teams can seamlessly pivot between Intel 471’s three portfolios — Cyber Threat Exposure, Cyber Threat Intelligence, and Cyber Threat Hunt — to access our expert analysis and reporting, tools, and dashboards from a single, intuitive platform. This unified CTI-powered platform is designed to provide intelligence that’s ready to operationalize out of the box.
To achieve this goal, Verity471 introduces Intelligence, Exposure, and Hunt modes on a unified CTI-powered platform that ensures security teams never miss an opportunity to operationalize our premier adversary intelligence, whether they’re hunting undetected threats, remediating high-risk attack surface exposures, identifying visibility gaps in security configurations and network architecture, or staying ahead of the most prolific malware and adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures.
Verity471’s Mode Switcher serves as a single point of access to reach all Intel 471 portfolios without needing to reauthenticate, delivering an intuitive experience that accelerates workflows across threat hunting, threat research, and analysis.
Introducing Exposure mode — Closing the CTI capability gap
Not all security teams enjoy support from mature in-house CTI programs; and even the most capable CTI teams require swift actionability of tactical intelligence data so they can spend precious resources on more sophisticated threats. Exposure mode on Verity471 addresses this CTI capability gap by putting Intel 471’s premier adversary intelligence and continuous CTI data collection from the cyber underground in the hands of all security and risk teams, enabling CTI programs at all levels of maturity to quickly detect and address external threats that matter most to their organization.
The first modules of Verity471 Exposure mode are Attack Surface Exposure, which identifies exposures affecting an organization’s own attack surface; and Third-Party Exposure to monitor and mitigate risk from exposures affecting critical third parties. Both modules map our CTI to exposures, enabling teams to prioritize remediation efforts to high-risk exposures and proactively mitigate risk from third parties. The modules also help mature CTI teams meet the mounting pressure to do more with less. Thoughtfully designed dashboards surface critical findings to help overstretched teams quickly understand risk and easily pivot to relevant CTI context to prioritize remediation.

Hunt mode — Never miss a beat on evolving TTPs
With Verity471, we’re fusing our on-the-ground adversary intelligence, expert analyses of emerging TTPs, and patented malware emulation and tracking system with our world class behavioral threat hunting capabilities.
Hunt mode on Verity471 provides full access to HUNTER, Intel 471’s growing library of behavioral hunt packages, which your teams can immediately execute on your security platforms to identify undetected threats. We believe our intelligence-driven hunt packages, fuelled by our unique adversary and malware insights, are the most powerful form of intelligence to counter threats that use advanced behaviors and techniques - including leveraging Living off The Land tactics and binaries (LOLbins) - to evade detection. HUNTER packages are also the most direct way security teams can operationalize CTI on their security platforms to neutralize advanced threats.
Hunt mode provides fully formed hunt content. Our team does the heavy-lifting work of research and hypothesis testing, hunt query writing, and validation for most advanced TTPs solving the challenge of stale or ineffective hunt content caused by resource constraints that hold back research and new query logic development. Each hunt package is continually updated with CTI context and tagged with MITRE ATT&CK technique IDs, threat names, categories, industry, geography, severity, motivations, and related exploits and vulnerabilities. This gives hunters the context they need for effective prioritization and campaign building.
Your threat hunters can easily pivot between Hunt mode and Intelligence mode to dive deeper into context that matters, investigate threat actor and cybercriminal service profiles, and view real-time updates across our intelligence domains. This powerful capability for intelligence-driven threat hunting expedites research, enabling advanced hunt teams to build new hunt content for threats specific to their sector or organization.
Equally important, Hunt mode provides the hunt content and tools to build successful human-led in-house threat hunting capabilities and overcome the ongoing shortage of seasoned threat hunters (https://intel471.com/blog/six-key-takeaways-from-the-sans-2025-threat-hunting-survey). To learn how, see our paper on findings from the SANS Institute’s 2025 Threat Hunting Survey.
