Coralogix Expands Unified Threat Intelligence Coverage

Coralogix is excited to announce a major enhancement to our Unified Threat Intelligence (UTI) capabilities – now with expanded IOC matching beyond IPs. While our earlier focus was primarily on detecting malicious IP addresses, threats have evolved. Attackers now hide behind encrypted traffic, disposable domains, and polymorphic files. To stay ahead, we’ve normalized new critical fields – JA3, JA4, domain, URL, and file hash and integrated them into our UTI engine.
