Overview

Nisos positions itself as The Managed Intelligence Company, combining data collection with analyst expertise to deliver monitoring, analysis, and investigations for security, intelligence, and trust & safety teams. The company offers Managed Intelligence services and the Nisos Intelligence Platform, and publishes research on cybersecurity issues and disinformation campaigns. New funding will be used to accelerate product management and development, refine the Nisos Intelligence Platform, expand offerings, and add staff to meet rising client demand. Over the past year Nisos expanded internationally with its first European office and increased headcount by 60%. The company reported a 140% increase in Q1 bookings year-over-year. Nisos has secured over $33 million in funding to date and says the investment positions it for continued rapid growth. Nisos offers managed intelligence services and products such as Adversary Insights, Intel as a Service, and Zero Touch Diligence that combine robust data collection with an understanding of the adversarial mindset. Its solutions are used by security, intelligence, and trust & safety teams to address cyber attacks, disinformation, fraud, and abuse of digital platforms. The company counts Fortune 100 corporations and internet platform companies among its blue-chip clients. Nisos announced a $6M funding round that the company says will be used to expand marketing and operations and extend its international footprint. The firm also appointed David Etue as CEO; Etue joins from BlueVoyant and previously held senior roles at Rapid7 and Gemalto, and serves as a Visiting Fellow at George Mason University’s National Security Institute. The company positions itself as a recognized leader among intelligence service providers. Nisos is a technology-enabled cyber services and investigations firm founded by former U.S. intelligence officers in 2015 and based in Alexandria, Va. The company combines a proprietary technology platform with teams of elite operators and analysts to deliver Active Defense services, including advanced threat hunting, deception technologies, and intelligence collection and analysis. Nisos helps clients detect and track IP theft, protect corporate brand and information, and mitigate financial and reputational risk. Its clients are typically Fortune 1000 companies, though the company does not identify specific customers. In January 2019 Nisos raised just over $6 million from Columbia Capital, and Jason Booma of Columbia joined its board alongside David Northington. The company says the investment will be used to further develop its technology platform and scale its expertise to provide increasing levels of threat protection and adaptation to evolving threats.
