Cyber risk management company Bitsight signed an agreement to purchase Cybersixgill, a global cyber threat intelligence (CTI) data provider. Together, the companies expect to provide unmatched visibility into an organization’s external attack surface, supply chain and the threats targeting it. As a result, security leaders can proactively identify, prioritize and mitigate risk across first- and third-party environments.
With cyberattacks on the rise, CTI data is increasingly vital. However, applying threat intelligence findings to one’s own attack surface – or that of their supply chain – can be extremely complex, costly, and time consuming. The combination of Bitsight and Cybersixgill will give security leaders highly relevant threat insights in the context of their unique digital landscape. Bitsight’s powerful asset mapping capabilities, alongside the real-time threat insights of Cybersixgill, will help security leaders rapidly pinpoint emerging threats within a single, unified solution.
“The acquisition of Cybersixgill is a major step forward in our product vision, enabling us to deliver unparalleled insight into risk and threat exposure across an organization’s extended attack surface,” said Steve Harvey, CEO, Bitsight. “With the integration of Cybersixgill’s team and technology, we can deliver even deeper insights to Bitsight customers about the targeted threats unique to their infrastructure. We’re committed to investing in Cybersixgill’s industry-leading products and will continue to drive innovation to bring even greater value to customers. Together, we’re unlocking a new level of cyber risk management, empowering organizations to stay ahead of emerging threats.”
Cybersixgill covertly extracts data in real-time from a wide range of sources, including deep and dark web forums and markets, invite-only messaging groups, code repositories, paste sites and clear web platforms. Its new Cybersixgill IQ uses generative AI to translate the company’s comprehensive collection of real-time CTI data into easy-to-understand insights, analysis, reporting and 24/7 assistance.
Cybersixgill’s threat intelligence data is expected to enrich Bitsight’s comprehensive external attack surface management and continuous third-party monitoring offerings, also unlocking new threat intelligence use cases for Bitsight customers. This includes threat hunting, adversary intelligence, industry reporting and vulnerability intelligence. Additionally, Bitsight plans to apply Cybersixgill’s GenAI models to its collection of cybersecurity exposure data, mapped to millions of companies worldwide, to deliver additional customer value.
“We’ve long admired Bitsight’s vision and leadership in helping organizations manage cyber exposure and understand risks in their supply chain,” said Sharon Wagner, CEO, Cybersixgill. “By joining forces with Bitsight, we’ll be able to enhance and expand the reach of our threat intelligence solutions and give our customers access to an even more comprehensive set of cyber risk analytics, including Bitsight’s rich vendor risk insights. With increased investment and innovation, we will continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the evolving world of cyber defense.”
Cybersixgill serves global enterprises across multiple sectors, including Fortune 500 companies, financial institutions, government agencies, law enforcement and more. Headquartered in Israel, the company currently has over than 80 employees. Bitsight will also retain Cybersixgill’s presence in Israel.
