Group-IB has been recognised as a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cyberthreat Intelligence Technologies.
This inaugural recognition positions Group-IB among five vendors acknowledged for leadership in a sector evaluated across vision completeness and execution capability.
The achievement underscores Group-IB’s over 20 years of research focusing on adversary activities, coupled with the scale and sophistication of its Unified Risk Platform.
Innovation in predictive cyber defence
According to the 2026 Gartner® report, Group-IB's verticalised intelligence strength is highlighted, particularly noting its integration of dark web access, incident response validation, proprietary fraud telemetry, and unique capabilities, including BGP monitoring and Cyber Fraud Fusion model. These capacities enhance Group-IB’s offerings in financial services, telecommunications, and government sectors, providing substantial coverage and predictability in its Unified Risk Platform.
The Unified Risk Platform encompasses a wide-ranging intelligence data lake, offering threat intelligence, fraud detection, Managed XDR, sandboxing, and investigative capabilities. It is designed for extensive use, featuring comprehensive user access, APIs, and enterprise-scale support.

Integrating Threat Intelligence, Attack Surface Management, and other protective strategies, Group-IB aims to transform traditional detection-centric models into proactive operational frameworks.
Pivotal moment for Group-IB
Group-IB CEO Dmitry Volkov stated, “Being named a Leader in the first-ever Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cyberthreat Intelligence Technologies is a milestone for Group-IB, and a validation of the direction we have taken since 2003. Cybersecurity can no longer be reactive, and organisations need adversary-centric, predictive intelligence from unique threat intelligence sources that helps them anticipate attacks before they materialise.”
This recognition reflects their Unified Risk Platform's strength, supported by proprietary telemetry and global team expertise.
Enhanced threat intelligence
Group-IB's leading position is built on decades of adversary visibility, offering Predictive Indicators of Attack through comprehensive intelligence and continuous dark-web monitoring. It has supported over 1,500 collaborative investigations with agencies like INTERPOL and Europol, aiding organisations in anticipating attacker methods and regional threat campaigns.
The Cyber Fraud Fusion model enhances threat intelligence by integrating fraud intelligence, addressing the challenges of siloed operational teams. In a landscape where ransomware and fraud networks are increasingly interrelated, this unified approach is essential for organisations committed to a prediction-first defence stance.
Group-IB, a foremost creator of predictive cybersecurity technologies to investigate, prevent, and fight digital crime, has been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cyberthreat Intelligence Technologies.
This recognition places Group-IB among just five vendors to achieve Leader status in the first Magic Quadrant™ Gartner® has ever published for the threat intelligence market, an evaluation that assessed eighteen vendors across completeness of vision and ability to execute.
This recognition is a testament to more than two decades of adversary-centric research, the scale and sophistication of its Unified Risk Platform, and the predictive threat intelligence advantage built on unique sources of threat intelligence and 21 years of proprietary telemetry, over 1,500 joint investigations with law enforcement agencies, and continuous 24/7 dark-web monitoring.
Recognition for innovation in predictive cyber defense and unified risk intelligence
In its 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cyberthreat Intelligence Technologies report, Gartner® highlighted Group-IB’s verticalised intelligence as a key strength, specifically the platform’s ability to combine dark web and closed-group access, incident response validation, proprietary fraud telemetry, and unique capabilities such as BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) threat monitoring and its Cyber Fraud Fusion model. These give Group-IB particular depth in financial services, telecommunications, and government and law enforcement sectors.
Gartner® also recognised the breadth and cost predictability of Group-IB’s Unified Risk Platform, a consolidated intelligence data lake spanning threat intelligence, fraud, Managed XDR, sandboxing, and investigations, offering unlimited users, APIs, hunting rules, and takedowns at enterprise scale.
Group-IB’s innovation trajectory was further noted, with Gartner® acknowledging a clearly articulated roadmap shift from detection to prediction-first defense, encompassing attack-path modeling, predictive fraud disruption through Cyber Fraud Fusion, and unified incident management across Threat Intelligence, Attack Surface Management, Digital Risk Protection, and Cloud Security Posture Management.
A milestone for Group-IB
“Being named a Leader in the first-ever Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cyberthreat Intelligence Technologies is a milestone for Group-IB, and a validation of the direction we have taken since 2003. Cybersecurity can no longer be reactive, and organisations need adversary-centric, predictive intelligence from unique threat intelligence sources that helps them anticipate attacks before they materialise. This recognition reflects the strength of our Unified Risk Platform, the depth of our proprietary telemetry, and the expertise of our global teams who work every day to help customers, partners, and law enforcement stay ahead of cybercriminals,” said Dmitry Volkov, CEO of Group-IB.
Intelligence built on two decades of adversary visibility
Group-IB’s Leader positioning reflects capabilities forged in the field. Its Threat Intelligence solution delivers Predictive Indicators of Attack, generated from longitudinal intelligence and 24/7 dark-web monitoring, empowering organisations to forecast attacker tactics, toolsets, and regional campaigns before they fully materialise.
Group-IB’s Threat Intelligence has powered more than 1,500 joint investigations with law enforcement agencies, including INTERPOL, Europol, AFRIPOL, and underpins the threat visibility delivered to enterprises, financial institutions, and governments across Group-IB’s global network of 11 Digital Crime Resistance Centers.
Group-IB’s Cyber Fraud Fusion model, which integrates fraud intelligence with threat intelligence at the data layer, eliminates the blind spots that emerge when cybersecurity and fraud teams operate in silos. In an environment where Group-IB’s proprietary research confirms that ransomware groups and fraud ecosystems are increasingly converging and sharing infrastructure, this unified view is not a feature advantage, but a strategic necessity for any organisation serious about prediction-first defense.
