DugganUSA vs. The Industry
Enterprise-grade threat intelligence, compliance screening, and investigation analytics. Same capabilities. Up to 99% lower cost. Zero legacy debt.
What Does Threat Intelligence Actually Do?
Skip the jargon. Here is what you get and why it matters — explained for the person approving the budget, not just the analyst running the SIEM.
You run a firewall
We give you a list of every IP and domain we've confirmed malicious — from 15 upstream sources, correlated and scored. Your firewall blocks them automatically. OPNsense, iptables, pfSense — five-minute setup. 244 unique threat actors flagged that Recorded Future charges $80K/year to cover. Free tier included, no credit card.
You run a SIEM
Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, and CrowdStrike already speak STIX 2.1 — the format we publish in. Add our feed as a source in your existing tool. Every indicator we've found gets correlated against your logs automatically. No new tools. No rip-and-replace. 10-minute setup.
You screen names for compliance
Submit a name. Get a risk score backed by 11M+ documents — DOJ records, Panama Papers, 1.2M federal court filings — in seconds. World-Check charges $25K/year to tell you someone is a PEP. We cross-reference them against the full document corpus for $99/month (Pro).
You have no threat intel budget yet
Start free. Our free tier gives you a real STIX 2.1 feed and 25 compliance queries per day. No trial period. No credit card. The same data quality as paid tiers — because intelligence that only rich teams can afford isn't really intelligence.
