Dataminr Launches AI-Driven Cyber Defense Platform

Dataminr has launched a new AI-powered cyber defense platform designed to help enterprise security teams detect threats earlier and respond faster. 

The platform, Dataminr for Cyber Defense, combines real-time external intelligence with internal security data to identify risks, assess financial impact, and automate response workflows before incidents escalate.

Dataminr integrates ThreatConnect to power real-time threat intelligence

The launch marks the first major solution built following Dataminr’s acquisition of threat intelligence firm ThreatConnect. 

The platform combines external real-time intelligence with a company’s internal security data to help security teams quickly identify and prioritize risks.

Dataminr says the platform uses agentic and predictive AI to continuously analyze signals from external sources and an organization’s internal environment. 

By linking those signals to business risk, the system aims to help security operations centers (SOCs) move from reactive alerts to proactive defense.

Security teams face more threat signals than ever, but are struggling to identify true risks

According to the company, security teams today face an overwhelming number of threat signals, up 225% year over year, making it harder to identify which risks truly matter.

Jen Easterly, Chair of Dataminr’s Corporate Advisory Board, said organizations must move beyond traditional alert-based security.

“No business—and no critical infrastructure—is immune from cyber threats. Real resilience means moving past reactive alerting to proactive, secure-by-design defense: understand the threat, prepare for it, and respond fast.” Easterly said. 

“But with defenders increasingly unable to match machine-speed attacks, we need agentic AI to close the gap. Using Dataminr to fuse external foresight with internal telemetry, organizations can finally cut through the noise and neutralize threats before they cause material impact.” 

Platform introduces three AI-driven solutions for threat detection and risk analysis

Dataminr for Cyber Defense launches with three primary solutions designed to integrate into existing security tools.

The first, Dataminr Client-Tailored Threat Intelligence, focuses on filtering massive streams of external threat data and highlighting risks that are directly relevant to a specific organization.

The second component, Dataminr Agentic TI Ops, combines that intelligence with other internal and commercial data sources. 

The platform uses automated workflows to investigate threats, enrich context, and distribute findings without requiring extensive analyst effort.

The third product, Dataminr Predictive Threat Exposure Management, quantifies cyber risk in financial terms and continuously monitors vulnerabilities and exposure levels.

AI models prioritize threats based on real-time business impact

Together, the company says the solutions allow organizations to prioritize security actions based on measurable business impact rather than simply the volume of alerts. 

Dataminr CEO and founder Ted Bailey said the platform reflects the company’s goal of connecting external intelligence directly with internal security posture.

“We acquired ThreatConnect with a clear vision: to unite our vast corpus of external threat signals with internal telemetry and provide organizations with clarity on what threats are impacting their business so they can act with speed and precision,” Bailey said. 

“The old model of static feeds is obsolete. If you aren’t linking the real time threat directly to your specific posture and real-time financial impact, you are operating blindly. Dataminr for Cyber Defense empowers teams to stop reacting to noise and take the immediate defensive action necessary to drive superior security outcomes,” Bailey continued.

Agentic AI automates threat detection and response at scale

The platform relies on Dataminr’s AI architecture, which includes more than 55 proprietary large language models and analyzes data from over one million public sources. 

The company says its automated intelligence agents can shorten investigation cycles from hours to minutes and help organizations respond to threats before they escalate into costly incidents.

Dataminr is showcasing the new capabilities at Booth #4419 at the RSA Conference in San Francisco this week.
