Dataminr, a global leader in AI-powered real-time event, threat and risk intelligence, has announced its intention to acquire ThreatConnect.
ThreatConnect is an intelligence management platform that helps enterprises and governments contextualise and prioritise threats across internal data systems. The transaction values ThreatConnect at $290m.
The acquisition aims to combine Dataminr’s advanced AI platform, which analyses public data signals, with ThreatConnect’s deep internal data capabilities. Together, the firms will deliver what they describe as the industry’s first Agentic AI-powered client-tailored intelligence—enabling organisations to receive context-aware, personalised and adaptive intelligence in real time.
Dataminr, headquartered in New York, provides AI-driven real-time alerts for events and risks that could affect businesses, governments and NGOs. Its proprietary platform scans billions of public data points across social media, news and sensors to identify emerging threats and opportunities.
ThreatConnect, based in Virginia, operates an intelligence management and security operations platform relied on by more than 250 enterprise and government clients worldwide. Its customers include one-third of the Fortune 50, and major firms such as NatWest, Nike, Wells Fargo, Wyndham Hotels and Genuine Parts Corporation, as well as government agencies across the U.S., UK and Australia.
Following the acquisition, the two companies will integrate their offerings—Dataminr Pulse for Cyber Risk and the ThreatConnect platform—to deliver enhanced AI-powered threat intelligence, faster response, and risk-based prioritisation for clients. Dataminr also plans to leverage ThreatConnect’s expertise to expand data fusion capabilities across multiple domains including physical, digital and cyber environments.
Dataminr CEO Ted Bailey said, “We are thrilled to be joining forces with ThreatConnect’s amazing 170-person mission-oriented team that shares in our passion for delivering customer value through rapid AI innovation. By uniting our AI platform with the capabilities of ThreatConnect, Dataminr will fuse external public data signals and internal client data to pioneer the first-ever real-time Client-Tailored intelligence. The future of Dataminr’s real-time intelligence will be more relevant and actionable than ever before—enabling our clients to not just understand what is happening, but what it means to them, and how they should respond.”
ThreatConnect CEO Balaji Yelamanchili said, “ThreatConnect has spent years helping enterprises and government cyber defence organizations bring order to vast amounts of threat and risk intelligence. The world’s leading enterprises rely on our platform to bring context, prioritization, speed, and precision to cyber defence. We are thrilled to join forces with Dataminr and combine our powerful platforms, creating new ways to deliver Client-Tailored intelligence and greater value to customers around the world.”
Texas Mutual Insurance chief information security officer John Sapp said, “In today’s insurance landscape, risk can emerge from anywhere, digital, physical, cyber, or operational. This is the combination we’ve been waiting for: real-time, adaptive intelligence that knows our organization and what matters most.”
WWT co-founder and CEO Jim Kavanaugh said, “Resilient infrastructure is the foundation of progress. Today, that foundation is powered by intelligence and AI. By unifying Dataminr’s AI-powered real-time event, threat, and risk intelligence with ThreatConnect’s robust threat contextualisation, prioritisation, and response capabilities, together with WWT’s cyber capabilities and Advanced Technology Center, we will be positioned to help organisations move from reactive to proactive—embedding resilience, speed, and confidence into the systems that power critical missions and industries worldwide.”
TriNet chief security officer Timothy Torres added, “The integration of Dataminr and ThreatConnect, along with their leading platforms, represents an exciting opportunity for organisations to significantly strengthen their defences against adversaries by fusing internal data with external signals.”
Existing ThreatConnect customers will continue to receive support and updates, while future product enhancements will integrate features from both platforms to provide the next generation of real-time, client-tailored threat intelligence.
