Introducing Sparks: Curated Intelligence, Delivered Continuously

What’s new

Sparks is a new feature within the Ignite platform that brings concise, expert-curated intelligence directly into your workspace via a continuously updating feed.

Each post, called a “Spark”, is written and vetted by a Flashpoint analyst and offers an interpretation of a meaningful development: a threat actor action, chatter trend, geopolitical shift, or major cyber event. These aren’t just headlines, they’re curated signals, drawn from Flashpoint’s collections and other notable sources, designed to answer the essential question: “So what?”

Sparks distills complex activity into focused, actionable insights, ideal for at-a-glance consumption and quick decision-making.

Customers can create personalized feeds by selecting industry, region, or threat topic tags. These tags allow customers to focus their feeds on issues that align with their specific mission or risk profile, surfacing what’s most timely, credible, and relevant to them.

Why it matters

In today’s threat landscape, it’s easy to drown in data and miss what’s critical. Sparks helps security teams to enhance situational awareness by delivering clarity and context without sacrificing speed.

With Sparks, you can:

• Surface critical developments in a timely manner, along with expert analysis and important context.
• Prioritize relevant information over simply new information.
• Reduce investigation time and the need for manual research.
• Support SOC teams, CTI leads, and executive stakeholders with insights to optimize workflows.
• Enable immediate action with direct links to in-depth supporting data.
• Personalize your feed with custom tags to reflect your unique risk landscape.

Sparks keeps your team informed, focused, and ready to act—without waiting for a report or digging through data.

How it works

Sparks is built for speed and simplicity, making it easy to access timely insights, tailor your view, and pivot directly into action.

• Access your feed by navigating to the Sparks tab in the Flashpoint Ignite platform.
• Customize your view by selecting tags such as industry, region, or threat type to filter Sparks based on your interests and mission needs.
• Each Spark includes a short, analyst-written summary explaining what happened, why it matters, and the potential implications.
• Pivot into action using embedded links that take you directly to related intelligence—like forum posts, Marketplace activity, or an external source.
• Feeds update continuously as Flashpoint analysts post new Sparks throughout the day, keeping your team aware of critical developments as they happen.

This is Flashpoint intelligence at its best—curated by experts, delivered at speed, and built to keep you ahead of whatever comes next.
