Recorded Future

Recorded Future, founded in 2009, provides threat intelligence and cybersecurity products to help organizations identify and protect against cyber threats. The company operates Intelligence Cloud, an AI-driven platform that aggregates real-time intelligence from over one million sources across the open web, dark web, and technical feeds. It serves more than 1,900 customers worldwide, including over 50% of Fortune 100 companies.

The company maintains Insikt Group, an internal research function that produces expert analysis on cyber threats, and operates The Record, a cybersecurity news publication reaching hundreds of thousands of readers monthly. These operations reflect Recorded Future's positioning as both a technology provider and a source of threat research and journalism.

In December 2024, Mastercard acquired Recorded Future for $2.65 billion, integrating the threat intelligence capabilities into a broader financial services security context. The acquisition underscores the company's established market position and the strategic value of its intelligence platform and research capabilities.
