Data and analytics on emerging cyber threats and attack patterns
Technologies
AI processes millions of threat indicators to identify relevant threats. Dark web monitoring tracks leaked credentials and attack planning. Malware analysis sandbox environments safely detonate and analyze suspicious files. Threat feeds distribute indicators of compromise (IOCs) to defensive tools. Attack surface management maps externally visible vulnerabilities.
Applications
Threat feeds provide IOCs to firewalls and endpoint security tools. Dark web monitoring detects leaked credentials and planned attacks. Attack surface management identifies externally visible vulnerabilities. Strategic intelligence informs security investment decisions.
Market and funding
The threat intelligence market exceeded $5 billion in 2025. Every security operations center needs threat intelligence to prioritize defenses.
