Question 1

What does threat intel do?

Accepted Answer

Threat intelligence turns raw signals into something a defender can act on. Makondoo provides a live IOC dashboard from Threatr, investigate for a single observable, and an attack-surface BOM from certificate-transparency logs.

Question 2

What is threat intelligence in simple terms?

Accepted Answer

It is evidence about who is attacking, how they attack, and which indicators to block. Data without context is a blocklist. Intelligence adds source, timing, and how it relates to your assets.

Question 3

What is a threat intel platform?

Accepted Answer

A TIP stores indicators, enriches them, and exposes them to analysts and tools. Makondoo is a Threatr-backed TIP with ingested open feeds, cached vendor enrichment, a public adapter API, and BOM/SBOM matching.

Question 4

Is Makondoo threat intelligence free?

Accepted Answer

The public dashboard, investigate lookups, BOM scans, and adapter API are free, rate-limited at 100 requests per hour per IP. Team and Enterprise are contact-sales.
