Do you trust automated cybersecurity systems to stop online attacks before they impact your data?
Security firm Silent Push is working to preemptively identify cyberattacks by tracking threat actor infrastructure before campaigns launch. The company, which partners with eight governments globally, uses proprietary domain fingerprinting to map infrastructure shifts.
Why it matters
Traditional security defenses frequently struggle to keep pace with threat actors who cycle through infrastructure faster than threat intelligence indicators are shared. Silent Push aims to shift the defense model from reactive remediation to proactive disruption.
The system resolves DNS records daily to monitor domain registration and movement patterns. Threat actors often age domains for up to 1 year to build reputation, a behavior the platform identifies to flag malicious infrastructure.
The players
Silent Push
A cybersecurity firm that uses infrastructure fingerprinting and data analysis to identify and disrupt threat actor campaigns.
FBI
The domestic intelligence and security service of the United States that collaborated with Silent Push on human trafficking operations.
The details
Silent Push uses proprietary infrastructure fingerprinting—the process of identifying unique technical characteristics of servers and networks—to build a context graph of global internet changes. By aggregating data on how adversaries register, stage, and rotate domains across hosting providers, the platform identifies patterns of infrastructure management. This allows defenders to observe staging activities before a malicious campaign goes live.
Timeline
Silent Push was founded in early 2020.
The system resolves DNS records daily to track infrastructure updates.
The Tech Race
Silent Push tracks infrastructure staging to identify cyber threats before campaigns launch, diverging from traditional reactive indicators. This approach aims to counter threat actors who rotate domains faster than standard security feeds can update.
The platform provides intelligence for security teams to harden networks before campaigns strike. While the tool is currently leveraged primarily by government partners, it represents a shift toward more proactive infrastructure defense for enterprise security ecosystems.
The takeaway
Security teams should watch the development of context graphs for infrastructure, as they provide a deeper view than static indicators. Tracking how frequently providers update domain reputation records will be the key metric for evaluating the efficacy of this proactive approach.
