Lumen Technologies has extended Black Lotus Labs’ upstream threat intelligence into AWS Network Firewall to help enterprises detect and block threats before they cause harm. The Lumen Defender Managed Rules solution is available as a managed rule group for AWS Network Firewall on AWS Marketplace, the company said.
“As cyber threats grow more automated and distributed, organizations need visibility that reaches beyond their own perimeter,” said Martin Nystrom, VP of Black Lotus Labs and product security at Lumen. “Because Lumen operates one of the world’s most deeply connected global networks, our Defender threat intelligence delivers an upstream view into malicious infrastructure before it targets customers. By integrating this intelligence directly into AWS Network Firewall, we enable earlier detection and disruption of botnets, malware and nation-state activity—helping organizations strengthen their defenses at the network edge.”
Black Lotus Labs is Lumen’s threat research arm. It’s designed to deliver high-level network visibility into global internet traffic. Its research team leverages malware reverse engineering, AI/ML-driven anomaly detection, and botnet infrastructure mapping to uncover and disrupt threats before they reach customer environments, officials said.
