The Cybersecurity Kill Switch You’ve Been Missing

‍

The Augur Predictive Threat Prevention Platform

Adversaries don’t wait. They operate at machine speed — acquiring infrastructure, launching zero days, and executing campaigns before most security tools register a signal. Yet many security teams still rely on intel built from yesterday’s attacks — malware samples, post-breach forensics, and indicators of compromise. By the time those alerts fire, the damage is already underway. 

This isn’t about skill or effort. It’s about timing. 

Security today is reactive by design, and that delay is precisely what adversaries exploit. Teams are drowning in false positives, alert fatigue, and fragmented intel. Whether you’re leading a global SOC or flying solo in a lean security team, you're forced to chase threats after they’ve already taken root. 

What’s needed isn’t more alerts. It’s foresight and the ability to act on it automatically, without slowing down. It's a way to see what’s coming and shut it down before it becomes a threat.

Prediction is Power, and Augur Wields it First

Augur is the first AI-powered threat prevention platform built to outpace attacks. It identifies attack infrastructure in its earliest stages, often months before it’s weaponized, giving security teams the power to act first. It uses behavioral modeling and automation to analyze global Internet activity for the earliest signs of attack infrastructure, on average, 51 days before attacks go live. 

By identifying attacker infrastructure as it’s being built, the Augur platform can anticipate the likelihood of an attack targeting your organization and help you adjust defenses before the threat ever materializes. These aren’t retroactive indicators of compromise (IOCs), they’re indicators that reveal attack infrastructure before it’s weaponized. 

With fewer than 0.01% false positives, Augur delivers high-confidence predictions your security team can use for instant, automatic enforcement — no manual triage or alert chasing, just real threat prevention: automated, informed, and always a step ahead.

• Others detect. Augur predicts. While the rest of the industry waits for signs of compromise, Augur uses AI to identify malicious infrastructure during setup, months before it’s used. That’s not just intelligence. That’s foresight in action.
• This isn’t enrichment. It’s elimination. Enrichment adds context. Augur removes risk. It automatically cuts malicious infrastructure from your attack surface before it touches your environment. No chasing. No reacting. Just gone.
• Detection means it’s already happening. Prevention means it never will. Augur identifies attack infrastructure an average of 51 days before it is weaponized and automates action before the first exploit fires. 
• IOCs are hindsight. PreIOCs are foresight. Augur delivers pre-indicators of compromise (PreIOCs) — early signals that expose attacker infrastructure before it becomes operational. If your intel starts at compromise, you’re already behind.
• Less than 0.01% false positives. Not a typo. Augur’s behavioral models don’t guess — they learn, adapt, and predict with surgical accuracy. No alert storms. No handholding. Just clean, trusted intelligence that’s always ready for action.
• Built for action, not busy work. Most intel tools hand you a dashboard and walk away. Augur bypasses manual triage, pushing trusted decisions directly into your SIEM, SOAR, or firewall. Nothing to review. Just block and move on.
• Adversaries leave a trail. Augur follows it to the source. Every attacker reveals intent if you know where to look. Augur maps infrastructure in real-time, linking signals to known threat groups before the first payload is dropped.
• Prediction is the new perimeter. Firewalls react. Detection lags. Augur draws a defensive line before the threat exists, creating space between setup and impact. That’s the only perimeter that still holds.

How Augur Sees Threats Before They Exist

At the core of the Augur platform is a decade of machine learning, behavioral research, and real-world threat telemetry, refined into a continuously evolving knowledge base of adversary behavior. Augur identifies attack infrastructure in its earliest stages, as it’s being built. 

With that knowledge, the platform can assess the likelihood of future attacks against your organization and provide the intelligence needed to update defenses accordingly, so threats are blocked before they begin. This AI-led, predictive intelligence powers a system that analyzes the global internet in real-time, anticipates malicious intent before it manifests, and acts automatically to shut it down.

Here’s how it works: 

1. Ingest and analyze: Augur monitors global internet activity continuously, focusing on early-stage attack infrastructure aligned with MITRE ATT&CK T1583: Acquire Infrastructure. It tracks IP acquisitions, domain registrations, BGP announcements, DNS resolutions, hosting changes, and other signals that indicate adversary preparation.
2. Process and predict: Augur uses advanced AI-driven behavioral modeling to identify infrastructure patterns associated with future attacks, on average 51 days before operational use. Where traditional threat intelligence reacts to known IOCs, Augur predicts threats based on how adversaries build.
3. Early detection and targeted enforcement: Rather than flooding your stack with raw predictions, Augur correlates with SIEM and log data to detect early communication with malicious infrastructure. When contact is confirmed, it automatically triggers enforcement, pushing enriched blocklists to firewalls, SOARs, and EDR tools before the threat escalates.
4. Enrich and correlate: Each prediction includes context: threat actor attribution, infrastructure profiles, and behavioral indicators. This allows security teams to correlate Augur intelligence with internal data for faster, more intelligent responses.
5. Automate and adapt: Augur integrates seamlessly into your existing security stack, delivering predictive intelligence only when action is needed. It reduces manual triage, minimizes noise, and ensures your team stays focused on real threats, not alerts.

The Capability Stack that Stops the Attacks

Prediction and Threat Foresight

• Attack infrastructure detection identifies attacker infrastructure as it is being created, monitoring global internet activity for signals like domain registration, DNS resolution, BGP changes, and hosting shifts that align with adversary setup behavior.
• Blocklist generation generates a blocklist from PreIOCs — early-stage signals of threat activity — well before traditional IOCs are observable. These allow security teams to act before infrastructure is weaponized or attacks are launched.
• Predictive infrastructure tracking monitors early-stage adversary infrastructure and looks for signs of activity, often indicative of reconnaissance or staging. If identified, the platform enables preemptive enforcement by pushing full blocklists associated with the threat actor’s infrastructure footprint.  
• Adversary behavior profiling learns how attackers operate over time by modeling tactics, infrastructure reuse, and behavioral signatures. It enables accurate prediction of how and when threat actors will likely strike again.

Intelligence Enrichment and Contextualization

• Threat actor attribution links detected infrastructure to known adversary groups, campaigns, or nation-state actors based on historical patterns, behavioral signatures, and external intelligence sources.
• Infrastructure relationship mapping maps relationships across attacker-controlled assets, including domains, IPs, ASNs, and hosting providers, to reveal campaign-level infrastructure.
• Vulnerability exploitation tracking tracks infrastructure and behaviors associated with exploiting specific vulnerabilities, helping teams understand if observed activity is linked to opportunistic or targeted attack campaigns.
• Open-source intelligence aggregation enriches predictions with correlated signals from open-source feeds and public repositories, providing additional context and confidence scoring without overloading analysts with noise.

Detection, Correlation and Validation

• Automated threat correlation correlates Augur’s PreIOCs with internal telemetry from SIEM, EDR, and firewall logs to validate predicted threats. When contact with malicious infrastructure is detected, the platform confirms targeting and enables immediate escalation or automated enforcement.
• Noise reduction and triage minimization filters out low-confidence signals and false positives before they reach the analyst, reducing alert fatigue and ensuring attention is focused on the highest-priority threats.

Enforcement and Automation

• Targeted enforcement integration pushes blocklists to enforcement points like firewalls, SOAR playbooks, and endpoint tools, enabling rapid blocking of predicted threats before they escalate.
• Flexible, AI-powered policy enforcement integrates with existing analyst workflows, enabling automated blocking or surfacing high-confidence intelligence for human review and escalation. This helps ensure security teams retain full control, whether autonomously blocking threats or surfacing critical intelligence for human review.
• Seamless integration with SIEM, SOAR, firewall, and EDR means Augur integrates directly into existing security infrastructure to operationalize predictive intelligence across detection, response, and enforcement workflows without additional overhead.
