Intelligence Is Powerful – But Only If It’s Accessible and Useful

Threat intelligence has the potential to transform how organizations detect, prevent, and respond to threats. It enables faster incident response, smarter decisions, and more proactive defense. But that value is only realized when teams can actually use the intelligence they’re given.

Too often, high-value insights go underutilized—buried in complex interfaces, siloed tools, or delayed until it’s too late. In a fast-moving threat landscape, complexity kills context, and delays block action, making it harder for teams to respond effectively. 

Accessibility isn’t about having a login. It’s about removing friction across the entire intelligence lifecycle.

Think of it this way: a library full of rare, important books isn’t useful if there’s no catalog system and if the books are written in ancient languages. You may technically have access, but you can’t find or apply what you need.

The same applies to threat intelligence.

Accessible intelligence is:

• Easy to find – Discoverable via intuitive workflows, tailored to your assets, risks, and goals.
• Easy to understand – Clear, concise, and contextualized for quick comprehension.
• Actionable – Delivered in a way that drives fast, confident decisions.
• Timely – Available when it matters most, before the window for prevention closes.

That’s why we’re introducing a new set of enhancements in the Flashpoint Ignite platform, built to reduce friction, surface relevant insights, and help teams act with greater confidence. 

From natural language capabilities to smarter intelligence delivery, we’re embedding AI-powered features that make intelligence more intuitive and operational. 

We call this approach intelligence that works for you, and it’s about more than just coverage. It’s about combining the power of world-class data with purposeful applications of AI to help every team get more value from the intelligence they rely on.

Delivering Intelligence That Works for You

It’s a user-first approach that considers what we collect and how, when, and for whom we deliver it. This means that we gather high-quality threat data and provide it in a way that’s truly useful to those receiving it. 

When intelligence works for you:

• Response times accelerate – Act quickly during critical incidents.
• Defense gets proactive – Identify and mitigate threats before they materialize.
• Threat hunting improves – Dive into indicators and patterns with ease.
• Analyst fatigue drops – Streamlined tools mean more time on analysis and less on navigation.
• Teams collaborate better – Intelligence becomes a shared asset, not a silo.
• ROI increases – Threat intel investments deliver real, operational value.

New in Ignite: AI-Powered Discovery, Curated Feeds, and Asset-Centric Intelligence

1. Sparks: Continuous Awareness Curated by Analysts

Sparks delivers live, high-signal insights, written and validated by Flashpoint analysts, straight into your workflow.

Instead of waiting for long-form reports or digging through raw collections, users now get bite-sized, actionable updates as threats emerge. Each Spark is a short, expert-validated post that highlights critical developments so teams stay ahead of what matters without being overwhelmed by noise.

Whether you’re monitoring ransomware groups, geopolitical conflicts, or fraud tactics, Sparks gives you a personalized, scrollable feed for real-time situational awareness.

Sparks makes intelligence more actionable by offering:

• Curated updates from analysts – Every post is vetted and explained by Flashpoint experts.
• Custom feeds – Filter by tags (industry, region, topic) to see what’s relevant to you.
• Immediate value – Prioritized insights, not noise.
• One-click pivots – Jump into related intel, Communities content, or assets.
• Intuitive UX – A fast, modern feed designed for how analysts actually work.

With Sparks, you’re not just staying informed; you’re staying ahead.

2. Use AI to Search for Images the Way You Think

Flashpoint Image search now supports natural language queries powered by AI, letting customers find visual threat intelligence using simple, descriptive phrases.

Instead of writing complex syntax logic,  simply describe what you want to see, like:

• “Counterfeit sneakers sold on Telegram”
• “Stacks of stolen credit cards next to cash”
• “Fake passports in a dark room”

Flashpoint’s AI-powered engine returns visuals based on content, context, and metadata, uncovering insights that might’ve otherwise stayed hidden. This AI enhancement makes image intelligence easier to discover, especially in early-stage or exploratory workflows where users don’t yet know what exact terms to search for.

Why this matters:

• No syntax required – Accessible to both analysts and non-technical users.
• Faster search – Get relevant results in seconds.
• Greater discovery – Surface data beyond keywords.
• Integrated pivots – Dive deeper into collections, actors, or related content.
• Dual modes – Switch between boolean and NLP for full flexibility.
  

Whether you’re gathering visual evidence, identifying TTPs, or exploring new threats, natural language image search brings speed and simplicity to visual intel.

3. Context-Rich Profiles for Your Assets

Entities transform your assets like IPs, domains, and BINs into structured intelligence profiles, centralizing everything you need to know in one place.

Each profile shows key metadata, threat exposure history, community mentions, and pivot options,so you get full context fast.

This will help you: 

• Centralized intelligence – See everything Flashpoint knows about an asset.
• Custom-tailored views – Metadata and pivots vary by asset type.
• Efficient triage – Investigate without jumping between modules.
• Smarter workflows – Use Entities as starting points for monitoring and action.

Whether it’s a BIN tied to fraud or an IP linked to C2 infrastructure, Entities put the full story at your fingertips, no guesswork required. Because when assets are high-risk, context is non-negotiable.

4. Expand Your Telegram Intelligence Coverage – Within Minutes

With Telegram accounting for more than half of all source requests, speed and agility matter more than ever.

Flashpoint’s enhanced Request a Source form allows users to submit and onboard Telegram channels directly within Ignite—no tickets, no handoffs, and no waiting.

Now, customers can:

• Submit up to five Telegram URLs at a time directly in Ignite.
• Receive in-app notifications in less than 10 minutes as Flashpoint’s collection engine automatically verifies and onboards the source.
• Easily click to pivot directly into newly collected content – full access to the channel and workflow actions.

This will help you:

• Gain control over collection – Add sources that matter to your mission, from ransomware group chats to emerging fraud networks.
• Act faster – Eliminate delays and access newly onboarded sources in minutes.
• Streamline your workflow – Everything happens inside Ignite—no support tickets, no back-and-forth.
• Shape coverage around your priorities – Focus your intelligence environment on the actors, regions, and risks that matter most.

This is what collection agility looks like—coverage that adapts to your priorities, not the other way around.
