Recorded Future is the largest threat intelligence company, using AI to continuously collect, correlate, and analyse information from hundreds of thousands of sources — including the open web, dark web, paste sites, technical infrastructure, and social media — to provide real-time intelligence about cyber threats relevant to specific organisations.
AI threat correlation connects intelligence from disparate sources — a new vulnerability published on a security research blog, dark web discussion about exploiting it, infrastructure scanning detecting it in a client's environment, and a threat actor profile known to use similar techniques — into a cohesive intelligence picture. Manual correlation of this information across sources would take analysts weeks; Recorded Future's AI produces it in real-time.
The Intelligence Platform provides configurable intelligence feeds for specific topics — a financial services firm receives intelligence about financially motivated threat actors, banking sector attacks, and relevant vulnerability exploitation. The AI tailors threat intelligence to the organisation's specific environment and risk profile.
Vulnerability intelligence provides real-time intelligence about newly discovered vulnerabilities — when a CVE is published, Recorded Future immediately analyses dark web and threat actor discussions to assess exploitation likelihood, enabling prioritisation of patching before exploitation begins.
Recorded Future AI runs as ai search software built around text and data workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on web and api.
