New Australian Threat Analysis Center and Sales Office Extends Reach into the Asia Pacific Japan Region and Completes the Company’s “Follow the Sun” Global Threat Analysis Capability
Dallas, TX – August 5, 2015 – iSIGHT Partners, Inc., the leading provider of cyber threat intelligence for global enterprises, today announced that it has further expanded the business within the Asia Pacific Japan (APJ) region. The company has opened both a threat analysis center and sales office in Sydney, Australia. The move enables iSIGHT Partners to locally support a rapidly growing list of APJ clients and completes the company’s 24x7 “follow the sun” model designed to provide “always on” threat analysis and access to its experts for a marquis list of customers operating globally.
iSIGHT Partners already has a strong list of Australian, European and North American clients, including leading Australian banking institutions and organizations across nearly every vertical segment.
The opening of the Sydney location will strengthen its ability to support clients in this region and around the world by providing:
•   Local access to world-class threat analysis and intelligence expertise via the Sydney office.
•   A true 24x7x365 “follow the sun” model for responding to client inquires with real experts in threat analysis centers located in the United States, the Netherlands, India and now Australia.
•   A regional, solutions-oriented sales team with a strong track record of partnership with clients across the region.
“From the outset, we have been globally focused—with threat research teams in 16 countries around the world, including regional offices throughout Asia,” said CEO John Watters at iSIGHT Partners. “We’ve always known that cyber threats know no borders and that our clients face unique threats from their adversaries from region to region, and we’ve built our business to provide them with the clearest view into these threats as they emerge. Demand for cyber threat intelligence is rising at an astronomical rate and is now coming from every corner of the world. It will only accelerate as more enterprises recognize that they cannot counter sophisticated cyber threats through technology alone. We’re proud to be expanding our global focus and extending our leadership position in the cyber threat intelligence space.”
This latest announcement demonstrates significant market momentum for the company with a client base including seven of the top ten U.S. banks, more than 250 local, state and federal government agencies across the globe and major companies across energy, technology, healthcare, manufacturing and other sectors.
In April of this year, the company announced the acquisition of Idaho-based Critical Intelligence, the leader in cyber situational awareness and threat intelligence for industrial control systems (ICS) owners and operators. That move came on the heels of the January announcement of a $30M investment by Bessemer Ventures Partners in iSIGHT Partners and its February announcement of the company’s expansion of operations in the EMEA region.
