About Cyberint

Founded in 2009 by Itay Yanovski, Raz Alon, and Shay Priel, Cyberint operates as an external risk management and threat intelligence provider headquartered in Petah Tikva, Israel. The company has demonstrated a consistent growth trajectory, culminating in its acquisition by Check Point Software Technologies, which was announced in August 2024 and completed in October 2024. Prior to the acquisition, Cyberint successfully raised a total of $56 million over four funding rounds, including a significant $40 million Series C round in June 2022, backed by investors such as StageOne Ventures, Neva SGR, and Viola Growth. The firm is currently led by CEO Yochai Corem, who was appointed in August 2020 and has a background that includes service in the Israeli Intelligence Unit 8200 and executive roles at companies like Cyberbit and Verint.

Cyberint's business model is centered on a proactive, intelligence-led approach to cybersecurity, delivered through its Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, Argos. This model generates revenue through subscriptions to the platform, which serves a global clientele including Fortune 500 companies across major verticals like finance, retail, and healthcare. The company's strategy involves unifying multiple security functions into a single solution, targeting roles from security analysts to CISOs, and also offers programs for Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) and other partners. This product-led approach has been credited with more than doubling the company's Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) and tripling its customer base in the year leading up to its major 2022 funding round.

The core of Cyberint's offering is the Argos platform, which integrates several key security services to provide a holistic view of external risks. Its patented technology continuously discovers and monitors an organization's evolving attack surface, including shadow IT, misconfigurations, and other vulnerabilities. This is combined with extensive intelligence gathering from the open, deep, and dark web, allowing for the early detection of threats like data leaks, exposed credentials, and brand impersonation. The platform's capabilities include Attack Surface Management, Deep & Dark Web Monitoring, Brand Protection, and Supply Chain Intelligence. A distinguishing feature is the combination of AI-powered automation for rapid detection with a team of military-grade cybersecurity experts who assist clients in investigating and disrupting threats. This enables Cyberint to deliver actionable intelligence and perform managed takedowns of malicious sites and profiles with a high success rate.
