Why Threat Intelligence Reports Are Too Late & How RAPTOR AI Stops Threats in Real-Time

Why Threat Intelligence Reports Are Too Late & How RAPTOR AI Stops Threats in Real-Time

July 11, 2025 / in Blog / by Zafar Khan, RPost CEO

Cybercriminals Don’t Wait for Your Next Team Meeting. Neither Should Your Defense.

Rocky the raptor here, RPost’s cybersecurity product evangelist. I’ve seen a lot from my perch high above the cyber battlefield. Here’s a fact: once a cybercriminal makes their move, they’re not lumbering around looking for an open door; they’re sprinting through it, dumping your data into the dark web before you’ve even had your first coffee.

It’s why relying solely on threat intelligence reports - - as valuable as they are - - is like locking your doors after the burglar is already sitting on your couch, eating your snacks, and rerouting your outbound emails.

Let’s break it down.

Threat intelligence has become the buzzword in boardrooms and blue team briefs. And threat intelligence reports – well, they are great to have, but only if you’re reading about the incident in yesterday’s news!

Don’t get me wrong; these reports are important. They aggregate what attackers have done. They outline patterns and IOCs (indicators of compromise), and suggest tactics to bolster your defense.

But here's the catch.

  • They’re reactive.
  • They’re broad, not personalized.
  • They arrive AFTER the fact.

So, by the time your security operations center team digests a weekly PDF threat bulletin, the malware has already exfiltrated the sensitive legal files, turned your HR director’s email into a credential-stealing phishing cannon, and started spamming the C-suite.

Reports don’t detect. Reports don’t respond. Reports don’t remediate.

Real-Time Threat Detection + AI Auto-Remediation: The RAPTOR AI Way

Let me introduce you to the modern way to fight fire with AI-powered fire: Real-Time Threat Detection with AI Auto-Remediation. 

At RPost, we built this into our RAPTOR™ AI platform, not to sound cool (though it is), but because we had to!

Here’s how it works, in-flight:

Pre-Crime AI Rsk Model

See It While It Happens

  • RAPTOR AI continuously monitors for outbound anomalies, such as detecting that strange attachment sent from Finance to an IP in Tehran, at midnight, from a user who was on PTO. Suspicious? Absolutely. Instant flag? You bet.

Act Before It Escalates

  • RAPTOR AI doesn’t just raise a flag and hope someone’s watching the dashboard. It auto-remediates. It can not only see what you cannot see in real time, but also preemptively AI Auto-Lock™ the document content or sensitive parts of the message EVEN WHEN YOUR CONTENT IS OUTSIDE OF YOUR ENDPOINTS AT LESS RESOURCED THIRD PARTIES. 
  • This locks out context from cybercriminal reconnaissance; context that would otherwise juice up the phishing lures. And, once the cybercriminal recon is thwarted, and user and admin notified, it even fingerprints the anomaly for future identification, if configured!

Learn From It

  • Unlike static threat feeds, RAPTOR AI learns dynamically. Each attempted breach makes it smarter, personalizing protection based on your data flow, your staff’s behaviors, and your actual risk surface.

Cybercriminals, today, move in minutes. 

So, you need to go on offense and preemptively kill the risk in milliseconds. (Learn more about RPost’s PRE-Crime™ preemptive security tech here)

Remember…

  • Threat actors don’t wait for your security ops team to review a threat digest
  • They don’t care how nice your dashboards look

They exploit emails, browser sessions, and misconfigured privileges in real time. So why would your defense be stuck on a report from last week?

The RAPTOR AI Edge: From Observation to Action

This is where our RAPTOR AI is different. 

It doesn’t just observe and alert. 
It acts. 
It protects. 
It pre-empts the breach. 
It protects your data, not just at the endpoint, but beyond it.

That means:

  • Real-time detection - you see the threat before the damage is done
  • AI Auto-Remediation - means you stop the threat without human delay
  • Self-learning algorithms - means they adapt as the threat landscape evolves

Bottom Line: When the Attack Begins, It’s Already Too Late for Reports

You don’t bring a clipboard to a gunfight. You bring RAPTOR AI!

Stay sharp out there. And if you hear the sound of wings overhead, that’s just me - Rocky the raptor, circling to make sure your data’s still safe in the storm.
