Spamhaus announces release of free Intelligence API for security developers
Available free of charge, developers can readily access enhanced data that catalogues IP addresses compromised by malware, worms, Trojan infections, devices controlled by botnets, and third party exploits, such as open proxies.
The API features live and historical data, including bot names, first seen dates, and valid until dates, providing security developers with the capacity to create additional applications to enhance network security. Using a combination of machine learning, manual investigations, and heuristics, Spamhaus's researchers derive this information from data shared by the industry and beyond - including from hosting companies, ISPs, internet governing bodies such as ICANN, and from its own honeypots and spam traps.
" ," explains Simon Forster , CEO at Spamhaus Technology. " ."
There are multiple applications for this data. Spamhaus Intelligence API can be integrated with current applications to provide increased visibility as to where issues have occurred, such as Splunk applications, for example. The use cases are numerous, and include improved incident response, online real-time risk assessment, and trend monitoring.
The following statistics illustrate the amount of data processed each day across all datasets:
