Risk Intelligence Firm Flashpoint Raises $28 Million

Flashpoint, a New York, NY-based threat intelligence and research company that focuses on what it calls “Business Risk Intelligence” (BRI) gleaned from combing the Deep & Dark Web, has raised $28 million in Series C funding. The company goes beyond what many traditional cyber threat intelligence providers collect, which typically includes technical indicators such as IP addresses, domains, and signatures. Flashpoint collects information and monitors conversations in the underground, including cybercriminal groups and terrorist organizations such as the Islamic State (Daesh) and its supporters.
