Introducing iDNA – DefendEdge’s Proprietary Threat Intelligence Platform

What is iDNA?

iDNA is a cutting-edge threat intelligence platform that aggregates, analyzes, and disseminates information from a wide array of public domain sources. By leveraging open-source intelligence (OSINT), iDNA provides comprehensive and real-time visibility into emerging cyber threats, helping organizations anticipate and counteract potential risks before they materialize.

Platform Architecture & Design Principles:

Principle	What does it mean for clients?
Modular	Three threat‑intelligence modules map directly to service tiers and bundles, allowing companies to start where they need value most and scale over time.
Targeted	iDNA focuses on precise entities: company names, executive identities, product lines, and domains, reducing noise and surfacing only relevant threats.
Evolving	Features expand continuously based on client feedback and emerging threat tactics.
Effective	Automated data collection, machine‑assisted analysis, and customizable workflow rules translate raw intelligence into prioritized actions

Core Modules of iDNA:

Currently, the IDNA platform features one of Team Vanir’s core modules, Brand Reputation & Identity Protection Service detailed below. Other modules in the iDNA service are Executive Digital Footprint Investigation & Monitoring and Attack Surface Management, which are offered outside of the platform.

Module	Module	Primary Goal	Key Capabilities
Executive Digital Footprint Investigation & Monitoring	• Continuous monitoring of executive PII • Brand protection alerts specific to leadership figures	Reduce executive‑level risk and doxxing exposure.	Investigation credits for deep‑dive analyst work
Brand Reputation & Identity Protection Service	• Social‑media monitoring across mainstream and niche platforms • Clear & dark‑web account takeover prevention • Managed takedowns of fraudulent profiles or content	Detect and dismantle impersonation campaigns against the organization	Domain permutation detection and alerting
Attack Surface Management Service	• Continuous vulnerability & exposure monitoring • Compromised asset discovery • Session‑identity intercept to capture live misuse	Identify exploitable assets and misconfigurations before adversaries do	Dual‑scope penetration testing (internal + external)

Key Features:

Domain Permutation Alerts: Detects look‑alike domains (e.g., DefendEdge.com vs Defend3dge.com) to prevent phishing or fraud attempts. Users can request domain takedowns directly from the platform.

Account Takeover & Dark‑Web Monitoring: Tracks compromised credentials from specified domains and emails shared on the dark web to proactively prevent cyberattacks.

Social‑Media Impersonation/Slander Detection: Tracks social media mentions on X, formerly known as Twitter. The user can specify malicious or slanderous words to look out for on posts.

Threat Activity Scanner: Monitors for specific words to make cyber threat intelligence research more efficient.

Indicators of Compromise (IOC) Submission to IDNA Guard: Enables users to submit malicious IP addresses, URLs, and hashes for review and blocking by subscribers to the additional IDNA Guard service.
