Building a $100M Threat Intelligence Company>
Recorded Future Blog – Christopher Ahlberg
For the last 10 years, I have kept saying that we live in an uncertain world. In fact, that is the very premise behind Recorded Future. And now, 40 days into the world of COVID-19, unfortunately, this feels closer to home than ever. A pandemic is ravaging the world, causing death, unemployment, and uncertainty, with downstream effects yet to be seen â and unlikely to be good â be it more death, unrest, economic meltdown, or wars. After 10 years of being in business, we have hit a fantastic milestone â crossing the $100 million annual recurring revenue (ARR) mark (very few SaaS companies pass that milestone). So, whatâs next. My rallying cry internally at Recorded Future for the next 10 years is âChapter Two.â There is an opportunity to build a significant intelligence company and become a cornerstone of the cybersecurity market, much like SIEMs, firewalls, EDR tools, and so on. We call this security intelligence, with the implication that intelligence will be consumed in many parts of a company. Recorded Future is the platform to do so. At Recorded Future, we made it our mission to out of the gate, connect the dots across stove pipes and make it dead easy for clients to connect the dots from our intelligence to their own data. Just like Bloomberg built a fantastic business and business model based on data, analytics, workflows, and user experience, we believe we can replicate this in cybersecurity.
