Our take
Cybersecurity threats are increasingly urgent for businesses, governments, and citizens worldwide, growing in both number and sophistication. Recorded Future has spent over a decade developing a solution to this problem. Its platform leverages billions of data points from across the internet, including dark web sources, state actors, and vulnerability information, to identify and anticipate cybersecurity threats.
While many cybersecurity firms are emerging due to the surging demand, Recorded Future stands out with its market-leading pedigree. Originally funded by In-Q-Tel and Google, its clients include private contractors for the US Intelligence Community, and it has produced influential reports on major cybersecurity issues.
Continuing to expand its capabilities by adding identity intelligence, attack surface intelligence, and card fraud intelligence, it partners with companies like Microsoft to research new cyber threats. Recorded Future was acquired by Mastercard in 2025 for a staggering $2.7B, where it will integrate its AI-powered threat intelligence with the payments company's cybersecurity services. This has opened up an even wider customer base for Recorded Future as the world of digital payment solutions becomes increasingly vulnerable to advanced cyber threats.
