Silent Push, a leading preemptive cybersecurity vendor, announced the release of IP Context – a powerful new detection method that identifies all uses of IP addresses in one place, including use as a VPN, proxy, or sinkhole or benign scanner across the company’s global dataset.

IP Context allows defenders to minimize fraud and abuse through more effective identification of adversary infrastructure by gaining immediate context on the function and risk level of any given IP address. Tagged IPs are presented alongside everything else we know about an indicator – including its relationship with the rest of the Internet – in a single view, including DNS history, hosting relationships, campaign associations,  and proprietary categories not available anywhere else. VPNs and proxies are tagged and filtered per commercial service provider. Proxies are further categorized as ‘residential’, ‘open’, ‘http’, ‘socks4/5’, or if authentication is required.

“Security teams need as much help as possible to identify the usage pattern of an IP address. When an IP appears on their radar, they need to be able to quickly understand its purpose and what role it plays in relation to a given campaign”, said Ken Bagnall, CEO and Co-Founder of Silent Push. “IP Context provides that ability. All tags are presented on the same screen as our proprietary enrichment datasets. That level of analysis is simply unmatched in the industry.”

With currently over 50 million IPs categorized daily as a VPN, proxy, or sinkhole, Silent Push brings full-spectrum tagging and enrichment to any IP it scans – whether it’s in an existing threat feed or discovered during an investigation.

Enterprise use cases for IP Context include:

  • Credential Stuffing & Account Takeover Detection: Flag login attempts from residential proxy IPs commonly used in automated attacks, helping SOC teams act before escalation.
  • Infrastructure Discovery: Reveal contextual information about unknown IP addresses, allowing differentiation between normal users, residential proxies, and VPNs.
  • Threat Actor Clustering: Identify shared proxy or VPN services across campaigns, enabling faster attribution and proactive blocking of related assets.
  • Incident Response & Malware Triage: Instantly recognize sinkhole-tagged IPs to avoid false alarms and focus efforts on containment and root cause analysis.
  • Advertising Fraud and Abuse Discovery: IP Context provides new opportunities to track ad fraud operators and coordinated inauthentic traffic schemes.

IP Context is available as an add-on for Enterprise customers. Tags are accessible through Silent Push’s Total View screen, or as a daily bulk data download, allowing teams to integrate tag intelligence into existing workflows and filter based on their unique operational needs.
