About Skurio
Skurio, formerly known as RepKnight, operated as a cybersecurity software company headquartered in Belfast, United Kingdom. Founded in 2011, the firm specialized in Digital Risk Protection (DRP), providing a platform to help organizations identify and mitigate threats external to their own networks. The company's journey began with a focus on social media monitoring, which played a role in the security of the 2012 Olympic Games. This initial expertise in automated online reputation monitoring was the foundation for its evolution into a broader digital risk and threat intelligence provider. Skurio's CEO was Jeremy Hendy. The company entered administration and ceased business in March 2024, with some of its assets being acquired by DarkOwl.
Read full description
The core of Skurio's business was its Digital Risk Protection platform, a cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution that did not require on-premise installation. This platform was designed to continuously and automatically monitor the surface web, deep web, and Dark Web for sensitive corporate data, potential threats, and data breaches. The business model was subscription-based, offering access to its platform which combined automated monitoring with powerful analytics for cyber threat intelligence. Skurio served a broad range of clients, from small to midsize businesses, and partnered with a distribution network to reach hundreds of customers across 33 countries. The company also catered to organizations that lacked large in-house security teams by offering the expertise of its own security analysts.
Skurio's platform offered a suite of features aimed at providing a comprehensive view of an organization's external digital risk. Key functionalities included Dark Web monitoring, data breach detection, and cyber threat intelligence. The platform's BreachAlert product would notify clients in real-time if their data appeared where it shouldn't. Another feature involved the use of synthetic identities, or "BreachMarkers," to watermark data and help pinpoint the source of third-party breaches. The service was designed to turn vast, noisy data sets into actionable intelligence, allowing security teams to respond to threats more effectively. For clients needing additional support, Skurio provided an 'Ask an Analyst' feature and expert intelligence services for incident investigation and response.
