Grey Noise Intelligence and DoD's Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) Partner to Bolster Security

Summary: GreyNoise Intelligence announced a strategic partnership with the Defense Innovation Unit to help the Department of Defense identify and understand internet-wide scan and attack activity. During the initial stages of the engagement, DoD identified an unknown IP address communicating with a high-value system, escalated it to higher leadership, and an analyst then looked it up in GreyNoise and found it was an opportunistic scan rather than a targeted attack.
Why it matters: A single unknown IP touching a high-value system consumed leadership attention until an analyst could classify it, and that misclassified scan was one lookup away from being resolved before it reached the top.
