for $115 million.<\/p>\n<p>Bitsight, a more than decade-old security rating company, aims to use the real-time intelligence collected by the Tel Aviv-based data firm to mitigate customer supply chain threats. Cybersixgill, formed in 2014 and formerly called Sixgill, looks at data from the deep and clear web, including chat groups, as well as underground criminal forums markets where specialized software is needed.<\/p>\n<p>Bitsight, a Boston-based firm, said that the threat intelligence from Cybersixgill will provide customers with greater visibility into an organization\u2019s increasingly complex supply chain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the integration of Cybersixgill\u2019s team and technology, we can deliver even deeper insights to Bitsight customers about the targeted threats unique to their infrastructure. We\u2019re committed to investing in Cybersixgill\u2019s industry-leading products and will continue to drive innovation to bring even greater value to customers,\u201d Bitsight CEO Steve Harvey said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/11\/Bitsight-Acquisition-Press-Release.pdf\">statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Cybersixgill CEO Sharon Wagner said in a statement that the company expects to add to threat intelligence solutions with access \u201cto an even more comprehensive set of cyber risk analytics, including Bitsight\u2019s rich vendor risk insights.\u201d<br \/>Thursday\u2019s announcement follows a number of deals with cyber companies.
