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. Partnering with companies like Microsoft, it researches new cyber threats. To stay ahead in the evolving cybersecurity field, it must maintain this momentum, and all signs suggest it has the resources, talent, and ambition to succeed.
