What use cases are most common?

How is Spur different from traditional IP reputation feeds?
Traditional reputation feeds focus primarily on known malicious activity. Spur focuses on understanding the infrastructure, routing, anonymization technologies, and contextual characteristics behind an IP address, enabling organizations to make more informed decisions even when no prior abuse history exists.
How accurate are Spur's classifications?
Spur continuously updates classifications using automated systems and ongoing research. Accuracy can vary depending on infrastructure changes and evolving proxy technologies, but classifications are designed to provide actionable intelligence rather than relying on a single static signal.
