Our Story
As an organization grows, more data is generated, distributed, and found on the Internet, domains or subdomains, cloud infrastructure, social media posts, news stories, the Dark Web, and more. Organizations face a challenge staying up-to-date with the latest developments, harvesting relevant data, and ultimately analyzing it all. We founded ThreatNG to empower anyone to gather, assess, and report on any organization’s public and open information with an online digital presence from a genuinely holistic outside-in perspective. This goal highlighted the need to bridge the gap between technical and business disciplines.
The mantra “Security Centric; Not Security Exclusive” is what built ThreatNG. Everything constructed within the platform is rooted in a security use case and applies to all business areas: Technical, Strategic, Operational, and Financial.
Using open source intelligence (OSINT) methodology and techniques, ThreatNG has pioneered the cooperative development of the “OSINT Top 10 Threat Arenas”. The “OSINT Top 10” highlights crucial areas an organization should monitor, address, and secure. To continuously stay up-to-date with the latest data points, tools, exposures, and methodologies, ThreatNG has DarcSight Labs.
DarcSight Labs stands for “Data Aggregation Reconnaissance Crew for Secure Information Gathering of Holistic Threats” and is the research and development arm of ThreatNG. Its ongoing mission is to develop techniques to gather, monitor, and assess all information, creating solutions to protect and empower our customers.
As a team, we have much experience in securing organizations and building solutions. The use cases, solution components, and modules that provide the foundation for the ThreatNG platform have helped organizations in the past and continue to do so today. This real-world experience and hands-on expertise provide the foundation upon which ThreatNG continually builds solutions to manage existing, future, and unforeseen digital threats.
Mantra
A digital presence provides many benefits along with a myriad of threats. Unfortunately, existing solutions to identify and manage such threats are complicated, unviable, difficult to implement, and functionally siloed.
Our Mantra (“Security Centric; Not Security Exclusive”) embodies how we identify, communicate, and manage digital presence threats across the great divide of hierarchies and functions within all organizations. These threats affect everyone! Therefore, solutions in this space should be accessible, understandable, and usable by all.
It is often said that “Security is everyone’s job,” but this is never implemented. We have seen many “talk the talk”, but rarely “walk the walk”. Apart from being our mantra, “Security Centric; Not Security Exclusive” is our “Battle Cry” as we march towards a more secure and empowered world.
Stay tuned for more from us (subscribe to our email list or follow us on social media), as we build towards helping everyone “talk the talk and walk the walk”.
Security Centric; Not Security Exclusive
Protector of Nouns
Nickname
The Protector of Nouns is more than just a silly title we gave ourselves. It is a reminder of who we are, and our purpose.
As the world continues with its digital transformation, public and open data on individuals, organizations, products, and services has grown exponentially online. A phenomenon that has unearthed opportunities and threats amidst this dynamic digital landscape. With the opportunities being obvious, management of these new digital threats was not as self-evident:
Expertise was (and still is) scarce.
The Environment is daunting and still not well understood.
Existing solutions are costly, time-consuming, and difficult to maintain.
To answer the call, we developed solutions to explore this strange new realm. Venturing down this path, it became clear we were empowering people to safeguard everything about themselves, where they belong, and what they do. In a nutshell, solutions to protect people, places, and things!
We are ThreatNG, the Protector of Nouns!
