Augur Security

Augur Security operates a cloud-based cybersecurity platform that identifies and blocks attack infrastructure before it is weaponized. The platform analyzes terabytes of global Internet telemetry daily to detect IPs and domains that attackers acquire for command-and-control, data exfiltration, and other malicious operations, corresponding to MITRE ATT&CK technique T1583. The company uses machine learning-based behavioral profiling to distinguish adversary infrastructure from legitimate business operations, reporting a false positive rate of 0.007%. The platform operates outside customer environments and integrates with existing security tools including SIEM, SOAR, firewalls, and EDR systems through API connections. Augur's approach focuses on preemptive threat prevention rather than reactive detection and response. The platform autonomously monitors client environments and tailors blocklists based on the likelihood of specific threats targeting particular clients. It provides automated blocking capabilities and executive-level reporting on threat sources, actors, and blocked connections. The company has documented instances where its platform identified attack infrastructure months or years before major cybersecurity incidents, including the SolarWinds supply chain attack, Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack, Log4j vulnerability exploitation, MOVEit vulnerability exploitation, Volt Typhoon attacks, Snowflake breach, and Change Healthcare/Loan Depot ransomware attacks. Customers include organizations across financial services, technology, and critical infrastructure sectors.
