As Italy's national agency for workplace health and safety, INAIL holds sensitive personal information and needed stronger defenses against growing phishing campaigns, sophisticated malware, and potential data breaches, along with more current threat intelligence and automated analysis.
INAIL improved the effectiveness and timeliness of threat detection and response, increased automated sharing of threat data, avoided malware infection and work-disruption costs, and maintained service continuity during the COVID-19 period.

Solution
INAIL worked with DXC to implement an automated cyber-threat intelligence and analysis platform centered on IOC ingestion, search, and machine-learning scoring. Upstream, open-source intelligence sources and multiple security intelligence engines feed threat data, email/domain/user lookups, and suspicious attachment evidence into leading security software and a search engine. MineMeld aggregates indicators of compromise from multiple sources and converts them into consistent configuration lists that INAIL's security workflow can redistribute to downstream security tools. For analysis, classifier systems and a machine learning model extract characteristics from domains and URLs to perform predictive reputation analysis and phishing detection at scale, including automated analysis on millions of URLs and domains. The solution is served through an external integration layer for technical users and a self-service malware analysis solution for 11,000 nontechnical users; the source does not name a separate storage product, so normalized threat data appears to be managed within the workflow while exchanges with other national security bodies are automated.
Data flow
Open-source intelligence sources and security intelligence engines supply IOC and reputation data to leading security software, the search engine, and MineMeld. The platform normalizes indicators, runs classifier systems and a machine learning model on domains and URLs, then redistributes vetted IOC lists to INAIL's security tools. Technical users access outputs through the external integration layer, while employees use the malware analysis interface for self-service attachment checks.

Serving
external integration layerProvides technical users with access to the threat-intelligence workflow and integrated outputs.
leading security softwareCollects cyber-threat information and integrates it into INAIL's security workflow.
MineMeldCompiles threat indicators from multiple sources into a consistent format for downstream security processing.
Architecture clues
DXC runs INAIL's security operations center and also supports its data center and cloud-managed applications.
MineMeld is used to aggregate indicators from multiple sources into configuration lists.
The solution has two delivery modes: an external integration layer for technical users and a malware analysis front end for 11,000 nontechnical users.
The source does not name a standalone storage platform; normalized IOC data appears to be managed inside the security workflow.
Threat information exchange with other national security organizations and institutions is automated.
Evidence from the source
"AI and machine learning technologies are then deployed to carry out automated security analysis on millions of specific URLs and domains scored as potential security threats."
"However, INAIL did not experience any service interruptions related to COVID-19."
"In the face of growing phishing attacks and highly sophisticated malware, INAIL is at the forefront of preventing data breaches."
"Information on IOCs is aggregated by generating configuration lists so the data can be processed by software such as MineMeld"
"Two versions of the solution have been released: an external integration layer for technical users, and an easy-to-use malware analysis solution provided to INAIL’s 11,000 nontechnical users"
"Using a machine learning model, INAIL performs predictive reputation analysis based on extraction of unique characteristics of domains and URLs."
"open-source intelligence sources are combined with leading security software to collect information on cyber threats and integrate the data into INAIL’s security workflow."
