Threat Intelligence Services
Companies providing curated threat intelligence on adversaries and campaigns.
Market snapshot
These figures describe Managed Detection & Response (MDR) (9.1.7), the segment that Threat Intelligence Services sits within. They are not figures for Threat Intelligence Services on its own.
Not separately classified. The most acquirable segment in cybersecurity: recurring contracts, mid-market customers who will never staff a security team, and enough fragmentation to build a platform by acquisition. The constraint is analyst supply, which is why buyers pay for tooling that raises alerts handled per head.
