Combined Capabilities Will Provide Unmatched Visibility of Exposure and Targeted Threats Across the External Attack Surface and Supply Chain

BOSTON, Dec. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Bitsight, the global leader in cyber risk management, today announced the successful closing of its acquisition of Cybersixgill, a leading provider of real-time cyber threat intelligence. This marks a significant milestone in Bitsight's mission to help enterprises proactively identify, prioritize, and mitigate cyber risk with a holistic view of their extended attack surface and the threats targeting it.

According to Gartner^®, "there is an ever-increasing demand for curated threat intelligence (TI). End users have realigned their expectation of intelligence, they no longer want to be flooded with generic indicators, but instead want a curated set of indications they can focus on." Gartner also recommends organizations optimize TI investments by building a TI program that "tailors threat landscape and real-time threat information to business risks to aid in the executive decision-making process" and "promote[s] cohesion among intelligence services by correlating across your external threat data for better prioritization."¹

By combining Bitsight's unparalleled asset mapping capabilities with Cybersixgill's real-time threat insights, security teams will gain a unified solution to pinpoint, prioritize, and address emerging threats faster than ever. The integration will enable organizations to stay ahead of attackers by correlating external attack surface exposures with actionable intelligence.

"We are thrilled to officially welcome Cybersixgill to Bitsight," said Steve Harvey, CEO of Bitsight. "This acquisition reflects our commitment to delivering the most comprehensive, tailored, and actionable insights on the market to help organizations stay ahead of evolving threats. Together, we will redefine how organizations understand and mitigate cyber risk at scale."

With this acquisition, Bitsight further solidifies its position as the go-to solution for organizations looking to manage cyber risks and protect their operations in an increasingly complex threat landscape. Read more about the acquisition here.
