Intel 471 Unveils Verity471, an Ambitious Leap Toward Operationalizing Cyber Threat Intelligence

In a threat landscape where visibility alone is no longer enough, Intel 471 is taking a decisive step toward making cyber threat intelligence not just accessible—but actionable.

The cyber intelligence powerhouse announced Verity471, a unified threat intelligence platform that goes beyond dashboards and data dumps. Built to streamline workflows and break down long-standing operational silos, Verity471 is engineered to convert threat intelligence into direct, measurable security outcomes.

“At its core, Verity471 is about closing the gap between analysts and action,” said Jason Passwaters, CEO of Intel 471. “We built this platform with the real-world demands of security teams in mind—because we’ve been in those seats ourselves.”

From Awareness to Action

What sets Verity471 apart is its attempt to turn CTI into a fully integrated operational layer across an organization’s security architecture. Instead of asking teams to piece together information from disparate tools, the platform offers seamless access to Intel 471’s three core intelligence portfolios: Cyber Threat Exposure, Cyber Threat Intelligence, and Threat Hunting.

Each portfolio reflects a different phase of the threat lifecycle, from discovering weak spots in digital infrastructure to uncovering sophisticated actor behavior hiding within the network.

But Verity471 isn’t just another aggregation tool—it’s a decision engine. The platform leverages high-fidelity intelligence, risk scoring, and contextual reporting to tell security teams not just what’s happening, but what to do about it. And it does so with an interface tailored for both seasoned analysts and security leaders alike.

Third-Party Risk Meets CTI Context

One of the more forward-looking additions to the platform is its expanded Cyber Threat Exposure portfolio, which now includes two specialized modules: Attack Surface Exposure and Third-Party Exposure.

The first module combines threat intelligence with external attack surface management, delivering real-time visibility into vulnerable assets—and more importantly, linking those exposures to current threats observed in the wild.

The second module extends that visibility to the enterprise supply chain. With real-time breach intelligence and risk scores for vendors and partners, Intel 471 offers a rare degree of situational awareness into third-party risk.

“In the contemporary interconnected landscape, organizations are compelled to leverage global supply chains, integrated vendors and outsourced technology providers,” said Michael DeBolt, Chief Intelligence Officer at Intel 471. “Verity471 gives security teams the speed and context they need to defend their external attack surface and preempt third-party risks.”

A Platform Born of Practitioners

Unlike some CTI platforms that prioritize quantity of feeds over quality of insights, Intel 471 built Verity471 as a purpose-driven solution born out of its analysts’ experience tracking adversaries. The result is a platform that prioritizes operational intelligence—intelligence that can be acted upon without hours of decoding or correlation.

The launch comes on the heels of the company’s Guided Threat Hunts release earlier this year, further cementing Intel 471’s evolution from data provider to full-spectrum intelligence enabler.

For a first look at Verity471 in action, Intel 471 will be demoing the platform at Black Hat USA 2025, booth #5742. Security teams ready to put their threat intelligence to work can book a meeting with the company’s experts here.

Bottom line: In a world flooded with threat data, Verity471 dares to answer the harder question—now what?
