RiskIQ, a San Francisco, CA-based enterprise digital footprint security company, acquired PassiveTotal, a provider of threat infrastructure analysis through innovative visuals and analyst-backed development.
The amount of the deal was not disclosed.
Led by Stephen Ginty, PassiveTotal provides a threat infrastructure analysis platform used by more than 2,800 organizations. The acquisition will enable RiskIQ to expand its portfolio into threat analysis.
The newly released PassiveTotal Platform, supported by RiskIQ threat data, enables analysts to map out the attack footprint of adversaries and gives organizations control to address existing threats present in their digital footprints, as well as the malicious infrastructures used to carry out attacks.
Led by Elias Manousos, CEO, RiskIQ uses a global proxy network and virtual user technology to continuously discover and monitor managed, unmanaged and rogue web and mobile assets. This ‘Enterprise Digital Footprint’ is persistently scanned for anomalies, external threats, malvertisements and brand impersonation. The platform is used by financial institutions, insurance providers and consumer as well as B2B brands.
The company is backed by growth equity firms Summit Partners and Battery Ventures.
