Why This Matters for Security Teams
Disconnected threat feeds and manual enrichment are persistent problems in security operations. Analysts often spend too much time correlating fragmented data instead of acting on clear insights. By pulling Cyware’s intelligence into the ArmorPoint platform, security teams can close that gap.
Jacob Johnson, Chief Information Security Officer at ArmorPoint told MSSP Alert that the integration will directly reduce alert fatigue for SOC teams and MSSPs by changing how analysts interact with threat data.
"By deeply integrating a managed threat intelligence platform into ArmorPoint, we are fundamentally changing how security analysts work. Instead of overwhelming analysts with raw, uncontextualized data feeds, our system automates the crucial first step of log enrichment. We attach relevant indicators of compromise directly to security events as they're ingested."
Johnson noted that this allows the platform to generate high-fidelity alerts that are rich with context - such as the associated threat actor, a specific campaign, or the severity of the threat - without requiring manual triage or investigation.
"This fundamental shift allows security teams to move from sifting through thousands of generic alerts to focusing on a smaller number of actionable, high-priority events, ultimately improving their efficiency and reducing response times,” emphasized Johnson.
How the Integration Works
Through Cyware’s platform, ArmorPoint customers can link external intelligence with data from SIEM, EDR, IAM, and vulnerability management tools. This creates a unified picture of what’s happening across their environment, which reduces alert fatigue and supports more effective responses.
Johnson noted that what sets this apart from other partnerships is how deeply it’s embedded into ArmorPoint’s core service.
"In a crowded market of security platforms, our approach is unique because we’ve made this service a foundational component of our offering, not an optional add-on. Many MSSPs and their customers already use multiple threat feeds, which can be a management burden. Our partnership consolidates and normalizes this data behind the scenes, providing a single, coherent source of intelligence. We're not selling another platform for analysts to log into; we're providing a turnkey solution that enhances the existing tools they use every day."
This approach saves providers from the usual licensing, integration, and maintenance costs that come with commercial threat intelligence. It delivers real value without adding extra work for partners.
Automating Security Operations Across the Stack
The partnership isn’t just about today’s integration but a part of a broader strategy to automate security operations across the stack. Johnson described this as an ongoing process of tightening integrations with the tools MSSPs already rely on.
“Our roadmap for this integration is focused on increasing automation to make the security process even more seamless. We are committed to a continuous cycle of tighter integration across the security stack, beginning with our own SIEM. The next steps include developing automated response playbooks that can, for example, quarantine a malicious file or block a known bad IP address based on threat intelligence, all without human intervention."
ArmorPoint is also pursuing tighter integration with EDR solutions, pushing its enriched IOCs directly to endpoints for proactive threat hunting. "Ultimately, we envision a future where our integrated threat intelligence can inform IAM systems, enabling context-aware access policies that dynamically respond to real-time threats. This long-term vision aims to create a more resilient and automated security posture for our partners," Johnson notes.
The partnership underscores a broader trend in cybersecurity - intelligence needs to be actionable, not just collected. Organizations can’t afford to treat threat data as a siloed feed. By embedding intelligence directly into operational workflows, ArmorPoint and Cyware are helping security teams bridge the gap between detection and response.
