LARGnet

LARG*feed is a security threat feed designed by LARG*net and tailored to the unique needs of our membership.

We deployed “honeypots” pretending to be Exchange Servers, files servers, and other common services to collect information on malicious behaviours and their originating source IP addresses.

We beta tested the threat feed for TWO YEARS and are highly confident in the results! With multiple honeypots deployed and several members already subscribed to LARG*feed, we collect:

➡️180,000+ Indicators and
➡️Block over 50,000 potential incidents every day.

The threat intelligence is highly localized and precise because the honeypots are deployed within LARG*net and participating members’ IP space. Leveraging these tools to immediately blocks attackers requires no extra effort by your on-site teams.

This service costs $2,000/year and covers:

➡️Hardware
➡️Maintenance
➡️Development costs.

Did you know Canadians lost $567 million to fraud scams in 2023 alone?! That's an increase of $37 million from 2022!

What can you do to protect your organization?

1. Know who you are dealing with. Watch out for fake invoices as scammers often use legitimate company names. Always have a list of your business contacts so you know what's real.

2. Limit the amount of employees that have the authority to pay bills and approve purchases.

3. Don't give out information through unsolicited calls.

4. Watch out for larger than normal orders, orders for expensive items, or multiple orders for the same product. These could be fraudulent orders.
