EclecticIQ - Experts & Thought Leaders

EclecticIQ, a global pioneer in cyber threat intelligence technology, announced the appointment of Andrew Milne as Chief Marketing Officer and Steve Armstrong as Chief Revenue Officer. The leadership expansion comes as EclecticIQ enters its next phase of growth, building the go-to-market capabilities required for further global scale in the rapidly evolving threat intelligence market.  As CMO, Milne will oversee marketing and sales development with three strategic imperatives: establishing EclecticIQ's brand as a pioneer in threat intelligence, building scalable pipeline through direct and partner channels, and elevating the customer experience.  Armstrong will oversee all revenue operations, including sales and customer success management, creating unified accountability for customer acquisition, growth, and retention. Integrating customer success By integrating customer success into revenue operations, EclecticIQ creates end-to-end ownership of customer outcomes, from first engagement through long-term partnership. Both Milne and Armstrong are cybersecurity veterans with more than 40 years of industry experience between them. "Every growth stage requires different capabilities," said Cody Barrow, CEO of EclecticIQ. "We've proven our technology works at the highest levels. Now we're building the go-to-market infrastructure to deliver that value consistently. Andrew and Steve bring the expertise to establish repeatable processes, clear accountability, and coordinated execution that drives scalable growth." Simultaneous appointment The simultaneous appointment of both CMO and CRO reflects a deliberate strategy to align marketing and revenue operations. This partnership model prevents the organisational silos that often slow growth and create inconsistent customer experiences. "The CMO-CRO relationship is the engine of scalable growth," said Armstrong. "When marketing and revenue operate as true partners with shared accountability, it transforms how quickly you can move and how effectively you serve customers." "We're establishing the systems that deliver predictable pipeline while building brand authority that opens doors in competitive deals," said Milne. "Steve and I are building this in lockstep so there's no gap between what marketing promises and what customers experience." Geographic expansion and enterprise market penetration The leadership appointments position EclecticIQ to accelerate across multiple fronts: geographic expansion, enterprise market penetration, and continued product innovation. A key focus will be building a robust channel partner ecosystem that extends EclecticIQ's reach and enables customers to access threat intelligence capabilities through their existing security relationships. "We're at an inflection point," said Barrow. "The foundation is solid. The technology is proven. Now we're building the team to scale it."

Cyber threats are growing in scale and sophistication with major incidents this year disrupting supply chains, halting operations and driving losses into hundreds of millions. Responding to this challenge, EclecticIQ, a pioneer in cyber threat intelligence technology, announced version 3.6 of its ‘Intelligence Centre’ platform which brings next-generation functionality designed to help organisations analyse, structure, and share cyber insights. Deeper AI assistance and modelling Building on the success of version 3.5, ‘Intelligence Centre 3.6’ represents a significant evolution in the way organisations handle cyber threat intelligence. The release delivers in-depth, real-time reporting, deeper AI assistance and flexible data modelling, empowering analysts to work faster, produce higher-quality insights, and communicate their value across the business. Volume of emerging threats “Cybersecurity is no longer an isolated IT issue, it’s a core business risk that affects every industry,” said Cody Barrow, CEO at EclecticIQ.  “Security teams are overwhelmed by the pace and volume of emerging threats. They need technology that reduces complexity, connects the dots, and helps them act with confidence." Complex threat data At the heart of the update is a reimagined reporting environment that allows security teams to transform complex threat data into clear, consistent, and visually polished intelligence outputs. With customisable templates, a real-time editor, and centralised template management, teams can now create professional-grade reports in a fraction of the time, helping them communicate threats, adversary activities, and trends with precision and authority. Predefined STIX object types Intelligence Centre 3.6 also introduces ‘Custom objects’, a capability that lets analysts extend beyond predefined STIX object types to represent intelligence in a way that matches their own environment. From tracking blockchain-based ransom payments to documenting adversary infrastructure, users can now define attributes and relationships that make their intelligence more relevant, connected, and actionable. How and where AI is deployed The platform’s ‘AI Suite’ has also been expanded, bringing summarisation, translation, and content generation directly into the investigation workflow. Analysts can now transform long-form reports, search result sets, or graph-based intelligence into clear, actionable insights. They can summarise selected entities or include related data, then add the output directly into reports, save it as notes, or link it to graph nodes, enabling analysts to work faster and focus on the intelligence that matters most. The popular ‘Bring Your Own LLM’ option continues to give organisations control over how and where AI is deployed, ensuring a balance of privacy, performance, and flexibility. EclecticIQ’s latest release “Security teams don’t need more information, they need better ways to make sense of it,” added Cody. “Intelligence Centre 3.6 empowers analysts to cut through the noise, enabling them to deliver insights that protect businesses and demonstrate the true value of intelligence-led security.” By combining automation, flexibility, and human-centred design, EclecticIQ’s latest release marks a major step forward in helping organisations strengthen their intelligence-led security operations and stay ahead of emerging threats.
