SINGAPORE, Dec. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Group-IB, a global threat hunting and intelligence company headquartered in Singapore, announces that its Threat Intelligence & Attribution system has been found compliant with the recommendations issued by United States Department of Justice for cybersecurity and cyber intelligence companies. Based on innovative technologies confirmed by over 30 patents worldwide, Group-IB TI&A is intended for collecting data on threats and attackers relevant for a specific organization, examining of and proactive hunting for hackers, and the protection of the network infrastructure.

The document seeks to regulate this process with the aim of reducing legal risks for companies involved in the research into online threats on darknet forums.

As part of the assessment, independent experts from one of the Big Four accounting firms have analyzed the ways Group-IB gets access to closed web resources and obtains information on them, as well as internal policies and procedures implemented by the company to regulate the above-mentioned processes.
