FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a cyber threat intelligence platform?
A cyber threat intelligence platform collects, stores, and analyzes data about malicious files, infrastructure, and attacker behavior so security teams can make faster, more informed decisions. The core value is correlation: connecting a suspicious file to known malware families, infrastructure, and campaign history without requiring an analyst to manually pivot across multiple tools.
In practice, a threat intelligence platform sits behind your existing EDR and SIEM and answers specific investigation questions. Is this file malicious? Have we seen this indicator before? Which machines are affected? Platforms like Stairwell add continuous reanalysis to the equation, meaning today’s new threat intelligence is automatically applied to files your organization collected months ago, closing gaps that point-in-time lookups miss entirely.
How does a private threat intelligence platform differ from public tools like VirusTotal?
Public threat intelligence tools aggregate data from every organization that submits files, which means your uploads contribute to a shared corpus that any subscriber can query. A private threat intelligence platform keeps your file data inside an isolated environment so adversaries cannot study what you know, and your telemetry does not signal your detection capabilities to attackers.
The operational difference matters most during active incidents. When you submit a sample to a public service, a sophisticated attacker monitoring that service learns you found their malware. A private vault approach stores and analyzes everything inside your own environment, giving your SOC and threat intel teams the same depth of analysis without exposing your hand. Stairwell is built on this model: your data stays in your Private Vault and is never contributed to a shared pool.
What is continuous malware analysis and why does it matter?
Continuous malware analysis means files are re-evaluated automatically whenever new threat intelligence becomes available, rather than only at the moment of first submission. A file that appeared clean six months ago can be re-scored today because a new YARA rule, a newly published IOC, or an emerging malware family connection now links it to known malicious activity.
Most static analysis tools give you a verdict at upload time and stop there. That point-in-time model creates blind spots as the threat landscape shifts. Continuous analysis changes the relationship between intelligence and your file history: when Stairwell ingests a newly published threat report or an updated malware threat intelligence, it reruns that intelligence against every file ever seen in your environment. Threats that were invisible yesterday become visible today without any manual action from your team.
What cybersecurity threat intelligence tools do SOC analysts use every day?
SOC analysts typically rely on a combination of hash lookup services, sandboxes, threat intelligence feeds, EDR platforms, and SIEM alerts to triage incidents. The practical bottleneck is correlation: each tool answers a narrow question, and stitching answers together manually consumes analyst time that could go toward actual investigation.
Threat intelligence tools that reduce pivoting pay the biggest dividends in a SOC environment. When an analyst can take a single hash and immediately see related variants, historical prevalence, associated infrastructure, and a plain-language explanation of what the file does, triage time drops significantly. Stairwell helps reduce the tool spend on siloed point in time tools and is designed to answer these questions in one place, pulling together file analysis, IOC history, DNS resolution data, and YARA matches so the analyst reaches a verdict without context-switching across five different tabs.
How do threat intelligence feeds work in enterprise security operations?
Threat intelligence feeds are structured data streams containing indicators of compromise, including file hashes, IP addresses, domains, and malware signatures, sourced from security vendors, government agencies, ISACs, and internal research. Enterprise security teams ingest these feeds into their SIEM or threat intelligence platform to enrich alerts and identify whether known-bad indicators appear in their environment.
The challenge with raw threat intelligence feeds is operationalization: a feed that delivers ten thousand IOCs per day is only useful if your team can automatically check those indicators against your file history and get a clear answer. Manual copy-paste lookups are not scalable. Platforms that ingest feeds continuously and automatically cross-reference them against your own telemetry turn a data problem into an actionable workflow, surfacing the handful of indicators that actually matter to your organization. Stairwell operationalizes threat intelligence the moment it is received.
What is a Private Vault in the context of threat intelligence?
A Private Vault is an isolated, encrypted storage environment where an organization keeps its own file telemetry, malware samples, YARA rules, and threat intelligence separate from any shared or public corpus. Files in a Private Vault are never exposed to other organizations or to adversaries who might monitor public submission services.
The security benefit of a Private Vault goes beyond confidentiality. When your enterprise files are stored privately and continuously reanalyzed against global threat intelligence, you build a permanent historical record that supports incident response, compliance audits, and threat hunting. If a new threat actor TTP emerges next month, Stairwell can re-evaluate every file your organization has ever seen to determine whether any of them match, turning historical telemetry into a real-time investigation asset rather than an aging log.
How does file prevalence help with alert prioritization?
Prevalence measures how commonly a file appears across endpoints in your environment and globally across a threat intelligence corpus. Files seen on nearly every machine in your organization are almost always benign system components. Files seen on only one or two endpoints, especially if they are also rare globally, deserve much closer scrutiny.
Adding prevalence to your triage workflow gives SOC analysts a fast signal that cuts through alert noise without requiring deep analysis of every file. When Stairwell continuously recalculates both local prevalence (within your enterprise) and global prevalence (across its malware corpus), it surfaces the rare files that warrant attention. This is particularly useful for Tier 1 analysts who need a clear starting point: high global rarity combined with confirmed malicious behavior in related samples is a strong signal to escalate immediately.
