# How does Spur IP intelligence complement existing perimeter security tools?

Perimeter tools such as WAFs, SIEMs, XDRs, IDS/IPS platforms, and threat intelligence feeds are highly effective at detecting known threats and suspicious activity. Spur IP intelligence adds infrastructure context, helping analysts understand whether traffic originates from residential proxies, VPNs, hosting providers, mobile proxies, or other anonymized environments.
