Overview
The Challenge
CloudsAnalytics.ai provides a real-time threat intelligence platform used by security operations centres (SOCs) across 28 countries. Their core product flags phishing domains, malicious redirects, and lookalike domain attacks — but as threats grew more sophisticated in 2024, their internal domain scoring model was struggling to keep up.
Their team was spending significant engineering time maintaining their own WHOIS parser, DNS crawler, and IP reputation feed — infrastructure that wasn't their core business. False positive rates were high, customer confidence was dropping, and coverage gaps were leaving enterprise clients exposed.
Before MarketXY, CloudsAnalytics.ai's platform had a 31% false positive rate on domain risk classification, causing SOC alert fatigue across their customer base.
Solution
How MarketXY Helped
In January 2025, CloudsAnalytics.ai integrated the MarketXY Enterprise API. Within 6 weeks, their engineering team had deprecated their internal WHOIS parser and DNS crawler entirely, replacing them with MarketXY's real-time data endpoints.
API Endpoints Used
CloudsAnalytics.ai uses three core MarketXY endpoints in their threat pipeline:
Engineering team connected MarketXY API to the threat scoring pipeline. Test environment validated against 2M known-bad domains.

Parallel Running & Calibration
MarketXY scores ran alongside legacy system. Calibrated weighting of domain age, blacklist signals, and SSL validity for their customer profiles.
Week 3–4 · Jan–Feb 2025

Full Cutover
Legacy WHOIS parser and DNS crawler deprecated. MarketXY API became sole data source for domain intelligence. Internal infrastructure costs dropped immediately.

Scale & Optimisation
Volume scaled to 840K API calls/day. Bulk endpoint adopted for batch processing of newly registered domains (NRDs) every 15 minutes.

“
We tried building our own domain intelligence layer for two years. MarketXY gave us better data in six weeks than we built in 24 months. The API is rock solid, the WHOIS coverage is unmatched, and our false positive rate dropped so fast our customers noticed before we told them.
