The fusion of Cyborg Security with Intel 471
delivers advanced behavioral detections and unprecedented insight
into the threat actor landscape
Intel 471, the premier global provider of cyber threat
intelligence (CTI) solutions, today announced that the company
acquired Cyborg Security, founded in 2019, to provide organizations
with advanced threat hunting capabilities and expertise. With this
acquisition, Intel 471 is setting the standard for intelligence-led
threat hunting by cementing CTI as a key requirement to enable
accurate hunts and proper measurements for operational success,
ensuring return on investment for customers’ threat hunt
programs.
“We are excited to add Cyborg Security’s innovative platform and
approach to threat hunting to our solution portfolio," said Jason
Passwaters, CEO and Co-Founder of Intel 471. “Our customers have
grown to rely upon Intel 471’s expertise to unlock the power of
cyber threat intelligence and support all aspects of their
business. This acquisition is a natural extension of our leadership
by including advanced behavioral threat hunting packages that are
fully customized to the client’s environment. Customers will
benefit from the HUNTER Platform fueled by our premier cyber threat
intelligence to streamline the hunt process, improve their team’s
efficiency, and stay ahead of emerging threats.”
The convergence of CTI and threat hunting practices across the
cybersecurity industry is evidenced by the rapid adoption of
complementary use cases, defined methodologies, and a growing trend
to integrate the two within the same organizational construct and
budget. Economic buyers and practitioners alike increasingly
recognize the need for intelligence-led threat hunting as a core
component of their overall cybersecurity program. Intel 471 is
well-positioned to meet these emerging security requirements with
the merging of Cyborg Security and its innovative Hunter Platform
into its solution portfolio.
“Intel 471 is a company that embraces the same values as Cyborg
Security. Our organizations were built by practitioners – threat
hunters, threat intelligence analysts, and security researchers who
appreciate the importance of defending the threat landscape,” said
David Amsler, CEO and Founder of Cyborg Security. “Threat hunting
requires continuous monitoring of the threat landscape, which
includes ever-evolving cyber adversary behaviors, TTPs and targeted
technologies, as observed across various phases of the attack
lifecycle. Intel 471’s CTI prowess and data contextualization
deliver those relevant and timely insights. Together, our
capabilities provide enterprises the tools and systems to deliver
best-in-class threat hunting.”
