The LevelBlue Indigo™ Security Platform connects intelligence and security operations across LevelBlue services, supporting investigation, response, and service delivery while giving customers greater visibility into their security environment.

"Organizations need a security partner that can bring intelligence, technology, and expertise together to reduce risk and keep their businesses moving," said Bob McCullen, Chairman and CEO of LevelBlue. "This recognition reflects the company we are building and the work our teams do every day to connect managed security, advisory, and incident response. By combining global scale with a clear focus on each client's needs, we're helping organizations respond with greater confidence and build lasting cyber resilience."
