Overview

Up to 95% of cyberattacks are linked to some form of known threat intelligence that if leveraged effectively, could have mitigated the attack. So why aren’t these attacks being stopped? Ultimately, it’s because no organization has access to all known threat intelligence, and the amount of data involved is just too hard to process in real-time.

Centripetal imagined a radical approach that would disrupt this cycle. With initial support from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and based on over 100 patents, Centripetal developed its CleanINTERNET® solution. While traditional cybersecurity solutions react to threats as they emerge, CleanINTERNET® shields against threats proactively, preventing them from ever reaching your network in the first place.

Centripetal’s CleanINTERNET® uses the world’s largest collection of threat intelligence – more than 250 threat intel providers – to identify and proactively shield against malicious traffic. It does this using high performance computing technology, patented software algorithms and uniquely skilled security analysts to deliver proactive network defense at a significantly lower cost.

CleanINTERNET® uses the fastest packet filtering technology on the planet, working at massive scale and machine speed to process and operationalize over 10 billion Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), collected from more than 112 billion data points and updated every 15 minutes.

In March, Centripetal was named the Official Cyber Network Security Partner for the Boston Red Sox and Fenway Park. Centripetal also protects the networks of SMBs, enterprises, education, and some of the world’s largest critical infrastructure companies, including government agencies, hospitals and public utilities. The company is a three-time Deloitte Technology Fast 500 and Fintech Innovations Lab winner.

How we are different

PROACTIVE, INTELLIGENCE POWERED CYBERSECURITY


Centripetal has flipped the script. Instead of reacting to breaches, Centripetal proactively prevents them. The company is focused on instantaneous delivery of actionable intelligence. Centripetal’s CleanINTERNET® solution was designed to ingest massive volumes of data and do so in real time. A new attack can start and end within a 30-minute window. If you’re too slow, you lose the game. Centripetal can operationalize new threat intel data within the first minute it is released.


In one customer’s proof of concept, CleanINTERNET® shielded their network from 131,627 malicious inbound events, including reconnaissance, malware and spam. CleanINTERNET® also identified 37,068 outbound events linked to triggering IPs. CleanINTERNET® uses the planet’s fastest packing filtering technology, integrated at the network’s edge, with no latency and no impact on users.


OFFLOADING OF OVERWHELMED SECURITY TEAMS


By shielding networks from malicious traffic, CleanINTERNET® dramatically reduces the volume of alerts that security teams must process, allowing teams to focus on strategic security initiatives rather than getting overloaded by security events. According to one healthcare customer. “I did some spot checking on the firewall logs before Centripetal, and there were 60 million, down to 500,000 after CleanINTERNET® was implemented.”
