DefendEdge Intelligence Platform
BlackBeam
Internet Intelligence Platform
A cyber threat intelligence research platform that scans, classifies, and correlates internet infrastructure at scale — generating primary intelligence through proprietary engines, not repackaged feeds.
BlackBeam is a cyber threat intelligence research platform developed by DefendEdge. It continuously scans, classifies, and correlates internet infrastructure data at scale — processing over 210 million domain names, tracking DNS history across millions of records, and maintaining a curated database of verified threat actors.
Rather than repackaging third-party threat feeds, BlackBeam generates primary intelligence through its own scanning engines and correlation pipelines. It operates at blackbeam.defendedge.io and is accessible to authorized security researchers, enterprise security teams, and DefendEdge partners.
Platform Capabilities
Ten specialized detection and intelligence engines, each with dedicated data pipelines
🔍 Domain Intelligence
Database of over 210 million domain names with TLD classification, registration timing, and DNS history. Search by domain name, TLD, or registration pattern to identify infrastructure of interest.
🛡️
Threat Actor Database
Curated database of verified threat actors with alias tracking, IOC associations, and automated merge intelligence from the Valdore IOC feed.
🧬 DGA Detection
Algorithmic detection of domain generation patterns used by malware for C2 communication.
🏷️ Family Classification
Detected DGA domains classified by malware family to track specific threat actors.
🌐 Wildcard Detection
Scans for wildcard DNS configurations with near real-time IOC correlation across 8 match types.
📡 DNS Tunneling
Pattern-based identification of DNS-based data exfiltration and covert C2 channels.
⚡ Fast-Flux Network Detection
Identifies fast-flux bot networks — infrastructure where rapidly changing IP addresses are associated with a single domain to evade takedowns. Enriched with RDAP registration data for registrar attribution.
🔗
Nexus IOC Intelligence
Real-time sync from Valdore API — IPs, domains, hashes, actors, CVEs, malware, and STIX objects in the intelligence data lake.
🔎 Threat Intel Lookup
Multi-source indicator enrichment with VirusTotal, OTX, AbuseIPDB, and Nexus data lake.
🎯 Threat Hunting
Unified investigation across domains, IOC matches, wildcard correlations, and actor associations.
📊 Social Echo — OSINT
Multi-engine search across 7 platforms with server-side verification and confidence scoring.
👔 ExecWatch
Executive discovery via SEC EDGAR, Wikipedia, website crawl, and DuckDuckGo with social enrichment.

BlackBeam
The Internet Intelligence Platform — primary scanning, detection, and correlation engine. Generates intelligence from DNS, RDAP, DGA, fast-flux, wildcard, and OSINT sources. This is the operational platform where analysts work.
🏢
DefendEdge
The parent cybersecurity company that develops, operates, and maintains BlackBeam, the Nexus Data Lake, and iDNA. Provides the organizational framework, research standards, and partner network.
🔗
DefendEdge Nexus Data Lake
DefendEdge’s intelligence sharing and collaboration network. Connects BlackBeam’s intelligence outputs with partner organizations, enabling cross-platform threat intelligence sharing and coordinated response.
🧬
iDNA
DefendEdge’s identity and attribution intelligence system. Focuses on linking threat actors to real-world identities, organizations, and infrastructure — complementing BlackBeam’s infrastructure-focused intelligence with identity attribution.
BlackBeam generates the intelligence → the Nexus Data Lake shares it across the network → iDNA attributes it to real actors → DefendEdge orchestrates the ecosystem.
Contact & Early Access
BlackBeam is available to authorized security researchers, enterprise security teams, and DefendEdge partners. Early access is granted on a case-by-case basis.
To request early access, email blackbeam@defendedge.com with your name, organization, research use case, and preferred contact method. Access is typically provisioned within 2–3 business days.
