Digital risk alerts can be useful, but they often create more work for analysts. A provider may see a leaked credential, fake domain, or executive impersonation attempt, but still needs to decide how serious it is, which customer is affected, and what action should happen next.
Cyware is trying to make that process more connected. Instead of treating
Digital Risk Protection (DRP) as a separate feed or console, the company wants those signals to work inside a broader threat intelligence and security operations workflow.
Cyware has expanded its
Intelligence Suite with new digital risk protection capabilities to help security teams act faster on threats outside their own environments. The company partnered with SOCRadar to bring external digital risk protection, or DRP, into the Cyware Intelligence Suite. The new Cyware DRP module is powered by SOCRadar and is designed to add external threat visibility to Cyware’s threat intelligence and orchestration platform. Cyware said the integration focuses on risks across the dark web, domain registries, and social media, including exposed credentials, impersonation attempts, and brand abuse.
From DRP alerts to action
Digital risk protection focuses on threats outside an organization’s internal systems. That can include fake domains, leaked credentials, dark web posts, social media impersonation, and other signs that attackers are targeting a company’s brand, users, or infrastructure.
That visibility is important, but visibility alone does not solve the problem. Analysts still need context. They need to know whether a finding is tied to an active threat campaign, whether it affects a real customer asset, and whether it requires blocking, takedown, identity action, or further investigation.
Cyware said its approach is to bring SOCRadar’s external telemetry into the Cyware Intelligence Suite, where the data can be correlated with threat intelligence and connected to automated playbooks. The company said customers can use the combined capabilities to ingest lookalike domain alerts, block malicious URLs, connect deep web leaks with internal assets, route social media impersonation findings into workflows, and start takedown processes from the Cyware interface.
Sachin Jade, chief product officer at Cyware, told MSSP Alert that the integrated offering is meant to move DRP beyond another stream of alerts.
“Standalone DRP solutions in today’s world don’t provide the needed contextualization and correlation for proactively managing threat coverage and enterprises’ digital risk and exposure,” Jade said. He pointed to “contextualization and correlation of DRP with the threat landscape, campaigns, and other indicators,” along with automation through the SOCRadar integration and an AI agent for higher-level analysis and defense.
Why MSSPs should care
For managed security providers, the value of DRP depends on whether it can fit into daily SOC operations. A leaked credential or suspicious domain is only useful if analysts can quickly understand the risk, tie it to the right customer, and decide what action to take.
Cyware said the enhanced Intelligence Suite can correlate external exposures with active threat campaigns and trigger automated defensive playbooks in real time. The broader suite includes a threat intelligence platform, threat feeds, exposure management, malware sandboxing, and orchestration for intelligence operations.
As MSSPs expand into services such as credential exposure management, phishing domain detection, brand protection, and takedown support, such offerings can create value for customers, but they become difficult to scale when every alert requires manual review.
Jade said the Cyware-SOCRadar integration could help with that service delivery challenge.
“The Cyware and SOCRadar unified threat management and DRP offering enables a reduction in analyst workload by leveraging contextualization, prioritization, and automation,” Jade said. “Managed service offerings can be expanded as needed, and a better SOC service can be delivered to the customer where threat intelligence and security operations are combined to better protect the customer.”
He also said AI and agents can help providers scale the service and support higher-level analysis.
MSSPs often need to add services without adding staff at the same pace. A DRP offering that depends heavily on manual work may be difficult to scale. A DRP offering that connects to threat intelligence, customer workflows, and automated response has a better chance of becoming a practical managed service.
Breaking down the DRP silo
The key question is whether this integration reduces work for analysts or simply adds another tool. Cyware’s argument is that the SOCRadar integration makes DRP signals more useful because they are handled inside a threat intelligence and orchestration environment.
Jade said the difference is correlation.
“Traditionally, a standalone TIP or DRP misses the necessary correlation required for threat analysts and operational security teams to better understand and manage threat coverage and their enterprises’ digital risk and exposure,” Jade said. “This combined offering helps break down that silo, contextualize and correlate with threat vectors such as campaigns, actors, and IOCs, prioritize based on exposure and risk, and transform into more proactive defense.”
That is useful for SOC teams because not every external risk signal has the same urgency. A fake domain may be more serious if it is linked to an active phishing campaign. A leaked credential may require faster action if it belongs to a privileged user or matches a customer’s active environment. The more context analysts have, the easier it is to decide what to do next.
What the automation looks like
Cyware said one example is phishing infrastructure. When SOCRadar identifies a phishing domain, Cyware can trigger playbooks to distribute high-confidence indicators of compromise across SIEM, SOAR, EDR and firewall tools. The platform can also start a takedown process.
That type of workflow could help MSSPs standardize how they respond to common external threats. Instead of copying data between tools, analysts could use automated enrichment, routing and response actions.
Jade said customers should think about automation in layers.
“Automation is broken down into a few layers,” he said. “There is a native connector that takes out the effort and complexity involved in integrating SOCRadar DRP into a unified threat management platform, an AI-enabled no-code playbook builder to solve for customized needs leveraging the native integration, and a native AI agent to assist.”
He added that because Cyware Orchestrate is natively available in Cyware Intel Exchange, customers can extend automation into their own processes and internal ecosystems.
That gives MSSPs a way to standardize common DRP workflows while still adapting playbooks to individual customer environments.
What it means for MSSPs
The partnership gives Cyware access to SOCRadar’s external risk data and takedown-related capabilities. Cyware said the combined solution can support domain impersonation defense, dark web containment, coordinated brand abuse response, and managed takedown services.
External threat intelligence is moving closer to day-to-day security operations. MSSPs are expected to do more than collect indicators or send reports. They need to connect outside risk signals to identity tools, endpoint controls, network defenses, and incident response workflows.
That is where DRP can become more useful. It can help teams spot risks earlier, but the value comes from what happens next: prioritizing the alert, routing it to the right workflow, and taking action.
For Cyware, the SOCRadar-powered DRP module adds external visibility to its Intelligence Suite. For SOCRadar, the partnership gives its threat data a path into Cyware’s intelligence and orchestration workflows. For MSSPs and enterprise security teams, the value will depend on how well the integration reduces manual work and fits into existing SOC processes.rts both standard workflows and customer-specific rules.
