Facebook has launched a new collaborative threat-detection framework known as ThreatExchange that collects data from various partners on the hacks and other malicious activities that they’ve experienced. ThreatExchange then works to utilize all of that information in a way that will help Facebook and its partners combat future threats. So far the partners include Pinterest, Twitter, Tumblr, and a few others.
It might be a bit more difficult for hackers to launch coordinated attacks against several different companies at the same time thanks to a new collaborative threat-detection framework by Facebook called ThreatExchange. The new security framework, which Facebook plans to announce on Wednesday, works like an online hub where multiple organizations can sign up and deposit data pertaining to the types of hacks and malicious activities they may have experienced. This type of data includes malicious URLs, bad domains, malware and any sort of analytical data a company might have that’s related to that malware, explained Mark Hammell, Facebook’s manager of threat infrastructure and the author of the blog post detailing the framework.
