IntSights Closes 2020 with 60% Growth, Record Q4; Starts 2021 With Incredible Momentum

NEW YORK, Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- IntSights, the threat intelligence company focused on democratizing threat intelligence, announced an impressive close to 2020 with a 60 percent year-over-year increase in sales orders, as well as an 80 percent win rate in competitive deals. The company continues to expand rapidly with a 109 percent compound rate since 2016, and massive growth predicted for 2021.

"2020 brought a number of unexpected challenges and opportunities," said Guy Nizan, Co-founder and CEO of IntSights. "As COVID entered the landscape in Q1, we took a contrarian view to the market compared to other threat intelligence companies. Instead of cutting staff and resources, we increased our investments in engineering, product management, sales, and marketing. These investments have paid off, and now we are uniquely positioned to dominate the space in 2021."

As companies moved to remote work environments and faced staff and budget cuts, they also needed to protect their businesses from threat actors looking to take advantage of the disruptions caused by COVID. With a focus on automation, IntSights delivers to your security team and systems the most relevant, actionable intelligence possible. IntSights is also the only solution on the market designed to address challenges at each stage of the cyber threat kill chain, from attack indication, to compromise, to investigation and remediation. IntSights takes the complexity out of threat intelligence and delivers instant value without the heavy lift or sizable resource allocation that traditional threat intelligence solutions require. According to Forrester, customers, on average, enjoy an ROI of 442 percent ($2.1 million) after three years using the IntSights External Threat Protection Suite.

"IntSights has made threat intelligence easy to consume for any company," said Jason Thompson, COO of IntSights. "Legacy threat intelligence vendors layer complexity into their solutions, requiring businesses to manually review intelligence, increase overhead costs, and invest heavily in services to stand up and maintain the software. IntSights was founded on the idea that automation can eliminate the manual effort and complexity of threat intelligence, which is why so many customers are turning to our suite versus expensive, hard-to-leverage point solutions."

Market Leadership

While competitors spent 2020 downsizing, conducting layoffs, and de-emphasizing innovation, IntSights continued to grow the company's employee base, welcoming over 30 new employees to the team. Awarded "Best Start-Up Employer" by Dun's 100, IntSights has maintained a clear focus on employee satisfaction, which extends through the company's customer service efforts.

In addition, IntSights tapped industry veteran Eyal Katz (Logz.io, Infinidat) as Chief Financial Officer (CFO).

Product-Led Growth, Democratizing Threat Intelligence

In 2020, IntSights accelerated R&D to give customers the deepest and most actionable intelligence on the market. Under this lens, IntSights expanded the platform's ability to cover external threats across PaaS, SaaS, and IaaS, which proved to be a valuable add in the remote work scenario. With the introduction of new intelligence scenarios, IntSights now extends the intelligence discovery capabilities to include confidential documents, credentials from botnets, GitHub mentions, and many more. IntSights has also accelerated vulnerability prioritization capabilities with industry-leading bidirectional integrations, improving platform automation. Through IntSights extensive technology integrations, customers can now streamline all vendor risk assessment information into the IntSights platform. IntSights' new browser extension, IntSights Extend™, is designed to make intelligence accessible and easy to consume outside of the IntSights platform via any browser. More importantly, it helps customers protect themselves against known cyberattacks with the click of a button.

At the same time, we scale to help organizations of any size utilize their personnel and resources more efficiently.
