Maltiverse Review

Depends

Should I use Maltiverse?

Actionable threat intelligence: automated IOC reputation for IPs, domains and hashes - maltiverse.com

· 4 days ago

Buy it if you already run a SIEM like Wazuh and want cheap or free IOC enrichment — the free tier makes trying it low-risk. Skip it if you have no security tooling to plug it into or expect it to detect threats on its own.

Best for

  • SOC teams enriching Wazuh alerts
  • SIEM/SOAR enrichment pipelines
  • Small security teams on a budget
  • MSSPs checking IP and domain reputation

Not for

  • Buyers wanting one tool for endpoint detection — this is intel, not an EDR
  • Teams with no SIEM or SOAR to consume the feeds
  • Non-technical teams expecting a turnkey security product
  • Enterprises needing analyst-grade platforms like Rapid7 Threat Command

Gotchas - check before you buy

Pricing is per node — costs scale with endpoint count; confirm the node definition before committing.

Acquired by Lumu — roadmap may nudge customers toward Lumu's paid platform.

Guess: free tier likely has API rate limits that cap bulk lookups.

Integration surface is where bugs appear — a Wazuh connector URL-validation bug was backported.

Pros and cons

  • Wazuh users raise CPU-utilization questions when enabling it
  • Sparse public pricing; only $30/node surfaces in comparisons
