Frequently Asked Questions

Most TI platforms aggregate feeds but don't reduce noise. S6 Trace uses AI clustering to group related indicators, provenance graphs to show attack infrastructure relationships, and Morning Brief to automate shift handovers. It's triage-focused—helping analysts prioritize what matters—not just feed aggregation.

Morning Brief is an AI-generated summary of overnight threat intelligence activity. It highlights new high-priority threats, investigation updates, and environmental changes. Replaces 30-45 minute manual shift handover meetings with a 5-minute briefing. Includes provenance graphs for critical findings.

S6 Trace analyzes indicators from multiple feeds and groups related IOCs into clusters based on shared infrastructure, timing, targeting patterns, and TTPs. This reduces 500+ daily alerts to 20-30 meaningful clusters. Analysts investigate clusters instead of individual indicators—vastly more efficient.

Native integration with ThreatConnect, MISP, and major commercial feeds. API-based integration for custom feeds. Can also import STIX/TAXII formatted intelligence. The provenance graph tracks original source and propagation path for each indicator across feeds.

Yes. S6 Trace supports air-gapped deployment for IL5/IL6 and classified environments. Threat feed data can be imported via approved transfer mechanisms. No external network access required for core functionality. Local processing of all intelligence data.

S6 Trace automatically deduplicates indicators and shows provenance—which feed originally published the IOC and how it propagated to other sources. This helps analysts identify the most authoritative source and understand indicator confidence based on source reputation.

A visual map showing relationships between IOCs, threat actors, campaigns, and infrastructure. For example, if three separate campaigns reuse the same C2 server, the provenance graph connects them—revealing coordinated activity that might be missed reviewing indicators in isolation.

AI scoring combines source reputation, indicator freshness, environmental relevance, and threat actor attribution. High-confidence threats from trusted sources targeting your industry/region are automatically surfaced. Integrates with SIEM context to boost priority for IOCs matching your environment.

Yes. S6 Trace has an API-first design for SOAR integration. High-priority IOC clusters can trigger automated containment workflows. Findings export to ticketing systems (Jira, ServiceNow) and SIEMs (Splunk, ELK, Cortex) for correlation with security events.

Absolutely. Small teams are often overwhelmed by threat intel volume—S6 Trace's clustering and prioritization is even more valuable with limited analyst capacity. The Morning Brief ensures 24/7 coverage without requiring dedicated overnight analysts for many organizations.

Cloud deployment: 3-5 days for provisioning and feed integration. On-premise: 1-2 weeks including installation, feed configuration, and initial clustering tuning. Training included for SOC analysts on cluster investigation and provenance graph interpretation.

Beta program includes: Direct access to development team, priority feature requests, weekly check-ins during onboarding, and community support channel. Production release will include tiered support with enterprise options.
