Recorded Future is a cybersecurity company focused on threat intelligence and intelligence-led defense. Its AI-driven intelligence platform brings together external sources and internal telemetry to help organizations identify, prioritize, and act on threats across cyber operations, digital risk, third-party risk, and payment fraud. The platform is built around the Intelligence Graph, which structures and analyzes data from the open web, dark web, technical feeds, and other sources to surface actionable context for security teams.
Recorded Future packages this intelligence into modular offerings that support investigation, prioritization, response, and risk reduction across security and fraud workflows. In 2024, Recorded Future was acquired by Mastercard, extending its position within a broader payments and trust ecosystem while continuing to operate with a dedicated focus on threat intelligence, automation, and operational decision support.
Offerings, Capabilities, and Integrations
Recorded Future organizes its portfolio around four solution areas: cyber operations, digital risk protection, third-party risk, and payment fraud. Across these areas, it emphasizes real-time intelligence, AI-assisted analysis, and increasingly autonomous workflows that help teams move from detection and investigation to faster mitigation.
Beyond the core modules, Recorded Future supports security programs with the Intelligence Graph, Recorded Future AI, Collective Insights, browser-based context tools, APIs, and prebuilt integrations across SIEM, SOAR, EDR, IAM, vulnerability management, and ticketing environments. Its services portfolio adds onboarding, training, analyst assistance, managed monitoring, and tailored intelligence services to help customers operationalize the platform within existing security processes.
