Industry-Best Managed Attribution

  • Isolated Virtual Machine: Unlike SILO, which only provides a virtual browsing experience, Flashpoint Managed Attribution is a fully isolated virtual computer that allows you to download files, install programs, and conduct advanced digital operations securely.
  • Efficiency and Collaboration: Flashpoint Managed Attribution users can capture and store up to ten Snapshots of their virtual environment and easily revert to previous versions if the current version is compromised. Each Snapshot can be annotated and shared to stay organized and collaborate with teammates.
  • Integrated with Flashpoint Ignite: Flashpoint customers investigating potentially malicious posts can seamlessly pivot from the safety of the Ignite Platform to the safety of their MA environment with the click of a button.

Flashpoint is one of the few that has consistently demonstrated a high level of responsiveness and an in depth understanding of the needs of any threat/fraud/security analyst.
