GreyNoise is proud to announce a significant upgrade to its platform’s sensor and data pipeline technology, introducing advanced capabilities that elevate visibility and threat intelligence. Key highlights of the upgrade include:

  • Expanded Visibility: The new sensors now detect traffic from an additional 190,000 IPs (708k @ 12:00pm, compared to 518k at 7:00am - and this is growing by 20k per hour), providing broader coverage than the legacy sensors.
  • Increased Activity Coverage: Over 800 tags saw activity — 200-500 more than the legacy pipeline could capture.
  • Exclusive Insights: The upgraded sensors enable observation of over 1,000 previously undetectable tags, including more than 60 seen this morning. One such example: https://viz.greynoise.io/tags/zyxel-nas-firmware-backdoor-cve-2024-29972-attempt

These enhancements mark a major step forward in the platform’s ability to deliver actionable intelligence. Users are encouraged to log in to viz.greynoise.io to experience the impact of these improvements firsthand.
