Leeds-headquartered human risk management platform Boxphish has acquired Trillion, an advanced threat intelligence service which tracks credentials shared on the dark web.聽
The Trillion technology allows customers to gain visibility of leaked credentials associated with their organisation and take the appropriate measures to reduce risk.聽
The acquisition extends Boxphish鈥檚 existing suite of products which includes cybersecurity training courses, customisable phishing simulations and data analytics.聽
All of these equip organisations, and their teams, with the tools and knowledge needed to mitigate the risk of cyber-attacks.
Founded in 2020 by serial entrepreneurs Henry Doyle and Dan Bailey with CEO Nick Deacon Elliott, Boxphish has a growing customer base and library of training courses that offer relevant content to meet the needs of organisations from across a broad range of sectors and sizes. BGF invested 拢3.25m into the firm in April.
“This is another major step in our journey. Adding dark web monitoring to our product suite allows us to further strengthen visibility around human risk for our customers,鈥� said Deacon-Elliott.
鈥淏y proactively monitoring billions of account credentials passing through dark markets and criminal forums, we now have the capability to pinpoint risk and notify users to act appropriately.
鈥淲e鈥檝e seen significant appetite for dark web monitoring alongside our cyber security awareness training platform so it鈥檚 brilliant that this is now something that we can bring to market.鈥�
Stuart Jubb, CEO at Crossword, the previous owner of Trillion, said: 鈥淲e鈥檙e pleased to have found a new home for the Trillion technology and customers in Boxphish.聽
鈥淭rillion already has several shared customers, including Leeds United FC and New College Worcester so the service will be undisrupted and continuing to protect customers鈥� organisations.聽
鈥淭he deal also provides long-term security for customers having been acquired by a well-capitalised business with a strong track record in Boxphish.鈥�
