Company mission
To protect organizations from human-driven threats.
Our take
Nisos is a cybersecurity company that specializes in threat intelligence and response solutions, but it's quick to distinguish itself from the typical feed-based providers in the space. Rather than relying solely on automated data streams, Nisos emphasizes a deep, human-driven understanding of the adversary mindset. That approach is rooted in the backgrounds of its co-founders, Justin Zeefe and Landon Winkelvoss, both of whom served as cyber operators and intelligence professionals with the US government.
Breaking into the crowded cybersecurity market is no small feat, and since its founding in 2015, Nisos has taken a measured partho to growth. But the pace has significantly picked up since 2020, when David Etue (formerly Global Head of Managed Security at BlueVoyant) joined as CEO. Under his leadership, the company secured major investments and attracted a roster of blue-chip clients, as well as expanding its operations into Europe. With this sort of momentum and refreshed leadership coming from global IT company Accenture, the company is looking very promising for a future of significant growth and success.
