ThreatConnect

ThreatConnect provides a threat intelligence platform (TIP) combined with security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) capability, letting security operations teams aggregate and score threat intelligence feeds and drive automated response playbooks from within a single environment. According to Dataminr’s acquisition announcement, ThreatConnect is used by roughly a third of the Fortune 50, giving it a large-enterprise footprint that is unusual for a company of its size.

The company was founded in Arlington, Virginia in 2011 as Cyber Squared Inc. by Adam Vincent, Andrew Pendergast, and Leigh Reichel, later renaming to ThreatConnect after a $4 million Series A. It went on to raise a $16 million Series B in 2015 led by SAP National Security Services, plus a further round led by PSG in 2019. In November 2025, Dataminr closed its acquisition of ThreatConnect for $290 million, combining Dataminr’s real-time public data signal detection with ThreatConnect’s intelligence management environment under a joint offering marketed as Dataminr Pulse for Cyber Risk.

Fourteen years of focused TIP/SOAR development and genuine large-enterprise adoption give ThreatConnect real operational credibility, and the Dataminr acquisition adds a real-time public-signal capability that few pure-play TIPs have. It is a mature, incumbent platform rather than a disruptive newcomer at this point, and its most notable recent claims — customer scale and post-acquisition roadmap — currently come from the acquirer’s own announcements rather than independent audits.
