Company mission
Nisos' mission is to support intelligence professionals who needed unmatched actionable multi-source intelligence that disrupts adversarial operations.
Our take
Though it operates in the cyber and corporate security field, providing a range of threat intelligence and response solutions, Nisos actively describes itself as “not another cyber threat intelligence feed”.
Rather, the company is backing its peoples’ understanding of the attacker mindset to set itself apart – something that co-founders Justin Zeefe and Landon Winkelvoss should know about having served as cyber operators and intelligence professionals for the US government.
The cybersecurity market is a tough one to break into though, and 2015-founded Nisos has taken its time in doing so. However, since bringing David Etue on board as CEO in 2020 (former BlueVoyant Global Head of Managed Security), the company has rapidly accelerated its growth, winning major capital investment, blue chip clientele, and expanding into Europe.
