Detection-Ready Threat Intelligence - for SOC Teams
Ashes CTI is a Windows-native threat intelligence workstation that converts raw intelligence into detection-ready output. It sits between threat intelligence and SIEM, helping analysts turn reports into validated indicators and actionable detections in minutes instead of hours. The platform ingests private intelligence and OSINT, extracts high-signal data, maps it to MITRE ATT&CK, and provides structured threat actor intelligence including associated techniques, malware families, and targeted sectors. Instead of manually parsing lengthy reports, analysts move from intelligence → validation → operational use, without relying on cloud platforms or repetitive processing.
SIEM detects activity • Ashes CTI converts intelligence into usable detections
Convert raw intelligence into validated, detection-ready output: Extract what matters → map to MITRE ATT&CK → validate and enrich indicators → generate detection artifacts → export directly into SIEM workflows. Reduce time from intelligence review to detection deployment — without manual processing or cloud dependency.
Fair-use note: VT enrichment volume is governed by your VirusTotal API key (e.g., ~500/day on free keys; more on enterprise keys). No manual quota settings required.

FAQ
Do I need a VirusTotal subscription?
No. Start with a free VT API key; enrichment volume follows VT’s own limits. Enterprise keys enable higher throughput.
How does AshesCTI support threat intelligence analysts?
AshesCTI automates routine daily triage tasks freeing analysts to focus on deeper investigation and detection engineering.
Do you store customer data?
Processing happens locally in your Windows app with your database. We do not mine or resell your data.
Does it integrate with my stack?
Yes, export STIX/CSV/JSON and use them in your SIEM/EDR/TIP. Roadmap includes direct integrations.
Does this platform divert traffic from cybersecurity vendors or news sources?
No, quite the opposite. Ashes TI includes direct links to every original source, ensuring full credit and actually driving more traffic to the respective vendor sites, advisories, and news publications.
