2026 SC Award winner Flashpoint — Best Threat Intelligence Technology

Flashpoint is the winner of the 2026 SC Award for Best Threat Intelligence Technology for its Flashpoint Ignite platform, which transforms vast volumes of threat data into actionable intelligence for cyber, fraud, vulnerability and physical security risks.

Flashpoint Ignite is built on the company’s Primary Source Collection (PSC) methodology, which enables organizations to gather intelligence directly from online environments where threats originate, including underground forums, encrypted channels and illicit marketplaces. By collecting intelligence at the source and operationalizing it through alerts, investigations and analytics, the platform helps detect emerging threats early and understand adversary intent before attacks escalate.

The platform centralizes raw data, finished intelligence and analyst-validated insights into a single environment, helping address overwhelming data volumes and fragmented tools. AI-assisted workflows automate collection, normalization and triage, while customizable dashboards and alerts allow analysts to focus on intelligence aligned with their organization’s assets and priorities.

Flashpoint serves more than 800 global customers, including North America’s largest financial institutions, leading technology companies, Fortune 10 enterprises and more than 50 allied governments. The platform helps organizations achieve measurable outcomes, including one financial institution reporting $80 million annually in fraud loss avoidance.

“Flashpoint Ignite is an industry-leading solution that enables organizations to transform raw intelligence into actionable, finished insights tailored to their specific risk profile and operational needs,” said SC Awards judge Omkar Nimbalkar, senior manager of cyber threat research and intelligence at Adobe.
