Firstwatch

Stop Attacks Before They Launch

About

About

It’s time to move from defense to offense. Instead of reacting to threats, our proprietary deep learning neural network predicts and blocks malicious domains at the point of registration with 98%+ precision—eliminating the concept of "patient zero."

With 12x more malicious domains detected than other leading feeds, we give your SOC the upper hand—neutralizing threats before they can attack. Traditional threat feeds fall short by missing early indicators, leaving you exposed to preventable attacks.

Benefits

Catch What Others Miss

98%+ precision – block domains at day zero

Our predictive neural network detects malicious intent at registration, stopping phishing, spam, and malware campaigns before they launch.

12x more attack infrastructure detected

We discover hidden campaign domains other feeds overlook, eliminating pervasive C2 communications to obscured attack domains currently undetected.

No noise, just results

Eliminate alert fatigue by focusing only on actionable intelligence relevant to emerging and ongoing threat signals.

3x more effective detection without excessive costs

Higher precision means fewer false positives, letting your SOC operate efficiently with less time wasted on irrelevant alerts.
