Pangea & WhoisXML API: Expanding Intelligence Access for Programmatic Blocking of Domain-Based Threats
About
Pangea enables developers to add security features to their apps quickly and easily through API-based security services—creating a safe app experience and accelerating time-to-market. By eliminating the burden of building, scaling, and managing complex security code, developers can focus on their app logic while reducing its attack surface.
Highlights
-
Developers struggle with the rapid emergence of domain threats and need reliable data to block them.
-
Constant access to real-time domain intelligence facilitates accurate domain risk scoring and malicious domain detection.
-
Integrating WhoisXML API’s intelligence into Pangea enabled developers to further streamline security workflows.
Keeping Pace with Today’s Persistent Domain Threats
Malicious domains are registered rapidly and abandoned just as quickly once discovered. This fast-paced cycle makes it challenging for developers to effectively protect applications and users from domain-based attacks, including domain hijacking and spoofing.
Pangea recognized the need to provide developers with ongoing access to comprehensive and unique domain intelligence to expand threat detection and prevention capabilities.
Offering Continuous Access to Comprehensive Domain Intelligence
Pangea integrated WhoisXML API’s comprehensive domain data into its Domain Intel offering, providing developers with easy access to a wealth of WHOIS registration details that enable them to determine domains’ reputation and risk score based on age, registrant, registrar, name server, and other crucial data points.
This integration allows Pangea users to programmatically monitor and block risky domains based on relevant factors, enhancing protection against threats.
“Our partnership with WhoisXML API brings their unique dataset to strengthen the bench of threat intel providers on Pangea. WhoisXML API is one of the most comprehensive and accurate sources of WHOIS data available.”
Efficient and Accurate Security Investigations
Enhanced Protection against Domain-Based Attacks
Access to real-time domain data that enables accurate risk scoring allows Pangea users to identify and block malicious domains, reducing the risk of phishing attacks, malware infections, and other domain threats. Users can also monitor the registration status of their domains to avoid hijacking.
Streamlined Security Workflows
The integration of WhoisXML API intelligence into Pangea simplifies access to unique domain intelligence, allowing developers to quickly incorporate contextual data into their application’s security workflows. This reduces the time and effort required for security analyses.
More Secure Applications
Complementing existing threat intelligence with WhoisXML API’s massive and up-to-date domain data empowers developers to confidently release secure applications faster. Connections and user registrations from unknown entities or competitors can be effectively prevented.
