Recorded Future Rises to the Top in Gartner's 2026 Magic Quadrant for Cyberthreat Intelligence

For security teams considering threat intelligence vendors, the recent Gartner Magic Quadrant provides critical insights into the competitive field. The thorough evaluation process conducted by Gartner analysts highlights various platforms’ strengths and helps organizations determine which vendor best aligns with their specific needs.

In this context, Recorded Future proudly announces its designation as a Leader in the inaugural Magic Quadrant for Cyberthreat Intelligence Technologies. The report assessed 17 companies within this sector, offering an extensive look at the competitive scene.

“Being recognized as a Leader reflects our commitment to delivering outcomes our customers rely on,” stated Colin Mahony, CEO of Recorded Future. “From preventing threats before they occur to enhancing the efficacy of security controls, this acknowledgment underscores the trust our customers place in us and the results we help them achieve."

Methodology Focused on Customer Experience

The Gartner Magic Quadrant serves as a culmination of extensive research, providing a wide-ranging view of competitors in the market. By utilizing a uniform evaluation framework, it efficiently portrays how well technology providers are executing their defined strategies and meeting market expectations.

Recorded Future’s position in the Magic Quadrant was influenced by direct conversations between Gartner analysts and our customers. These discussions offered valuable insights into the real-world challenges customers encounter, how they leverage our Platform, and the benefits they've derived from it. This feedback not only shaped our placement in the report but also continues to inform our product roadmap.

The insights gathered from customers reflect their evolving experiences, and as we move into 2026, we have several significant updates to share.

New Directions in Threat Intelligence

Throughout discussions with customers in 2025, we gathered feedback on various aspects, including product complexity and pricing models. This feedback has been instrumental in shaping new ways for users to access and leverage Recorded Future's threat intelligence.

Here are the key developments geared towards enhancing customer experience in 2026:

Simplified Offerings: Four New Solutions
We’re excited to introduce four streamlined solution areas addressing the major attack surfaces: systems, brand, supply chain, and payment methods:

• Cyber Operations—This essential solution equips security teams with intelligence-driven insights for effective monitoring, threat prioritization, and defense.
• Digital Risk Protection—Focused on safeguarding digital trust, this solution helps monitor for brand abuse and employee credential compromises.
• Third-Party Risk—Offering continuous assessments of supplier security, this solution enhances the risk management of external partnerships.
• Payment Fraud—Designed to combat card-not-present fraud, it identifies compromised payment data with precision before misuse occurs.

Each solution is built on a consistent intelligence infrastructure, ensuring accuracy and alignment across shared security objectives. Key integrations with common security platforms, such as CrowdStrike and Google SecOps, further enhance the usability of Recorded Future intelligence within existing workflows.

New Pricing Structures: Streamlined Access
In line with our commitment to customer needs, we've introduced new pricing packages for our four solutions, structured to reduce complexity:

• Simplicity—Customers can select one comprehensive package rather than juggling multiple modules.
• End-to-End Workflows—Packages encompass complete use cases, ensuring all necessary capabilities are included.
• Increased Access—Higher-tier options provide unlimited seats, empowering more team members to utilize intelligence resources.

Additionally, these packages include integrations, allowing security tools, such as SIEM and EDR systems, to leverage Recorded Future's insights without incurring extra fees.

Geographical Expansion: Entering Latin America
Recognizing that cyber threats transcend borders, we have established operations in Latin America. This move enables local security teams to access our expertise and support, vital for their proactive defense strategies.

Autonomous Defense Mechanisms
Earlier this year, we launched Autonomous Threat Operations, pushing customers toward automated and continuous defensive strategies across their security ecosystem. This feature includes AI-driven threat hunting and multi-source correlation through our Intelligence Graph®.

As we aim to transition from automated to autonomous operations, we're innovating with Recorded Future AI to help customers minimize alert fatigue, expedite research efforts, and enhance threat detection across their infrastructures.
