IntSights Cyber Intelligence, from Rapid7 vs. Palo Alto Networks AutoFocus

It has been a brilliant tool and we have harnessed it for so many applications - Threat intelligence, Risk Analysis, Automation, Endpoint protection, Vulnerability Management, Application Security, Protecting all our Cloud Applications. We love the fact that we only have to see those threats that are meaningful to us.
We don't need clutter and endless dashboards with information that just gets in the way and makes things complicated. By having this full, crisp, easily discernible visibility, our decision-making is enhanced and we can see clearly what's happening in real time. We also love the fact that if a dashboard isn't proving to be productive, then we can go ahead and scrap it, and create another one. The tailor made/bespoke aspect of the Application is the thing that really sets it
apart. By having all our dashboards aligned, our teams are all working from the same page and it means we are safe in the knowledge that our systems and applications are being monitored in the most effective and efficient ways.
There haven't been any real scenarios where it has been ineffective. - perhaps just In-depth Risk Vulnerability Analytics
are a bit lacking. However, I'm probably just picking hairs there.

Analytics, Threat Hunting and detailed investigations for the security incidents are the main use cases. Automation on the cloud based on the feeds through the minemeld is another use case. When you deploy PAN on perimeter, Autofocus gives you a temendaous value. If you have non PAN firewall/products running Auto focus doe not make sense.

IntSights Cyber Intelligence, from Rapid7 was by far the clear winner, in terms of seamless integration with our exisitng systems, deployment, cleaner User Interface, ease of operation, better for monitoring Indicators of compromise and dark web information, having more features etc.

If you have Palo Alto, autofocus is the selected choice. If you have Checkpoint than the threat cloud. Price of autofocus is much cheaper. Unit42 is the real differentiator. Minemeld is unique to PAN and working perfectly. Search outputs and are detailed and gives lots of data. Integration with SOAR is much easier with autofocus. Indicator list is huge. Tagging works magnificent.
