Vorstack Becomes BrightPoint Security, Refocuses on Threat Intelligence

Threat intelligence platform provider Vorstack has relaunched as BrightPoint Security with the goal of redefining threat intelligence sharing for the IT industry.

The rebranding includes new leadership appointments and the launch of the company’s new Sentinel product line of security solutions, including a Threat Intelligence Platform with granular policies designed to control threat intelligence sharing across vendor supply chains, affiliates and subsidiaries, according to the announcement.

“BrightPoint is launching today to address the No. 1 critical problem we hear from customers, which is the need to reduce the threat data noise so security professionals can address the attacks targeting their organizations,” said Anne Bonaparte, president and CEO of BrightPoint Security, in a statement. “The new value Sentinel’s launch brings in pinpointing the critical threats through enhanced context and relevance is significant for security teams.”

The company hopes to capitalize on growing interest in enterprise threat intelligence solutions by offering what it calls an automated and more efficient means of monitoring threats from outside organizations. Sentinel’s granular policy controls are designed to enable the means for users to extend controlled sharing to partner ecosystems, according to the press release.

“The feature of granular policy control to support a spectrum of business partners’ shared information, ranging from complete non-attribution through full disclosure, is critical for organizations to speed visibility into what is impacting their IT infrastructure, based on other companies that are part of their BrightPoint Trusted Circles,” said Bonaparte.

The Brightpoint relaunch comes on the heels of last month’s appointment of former Intel Security senior vice president Jill Kyte as senior vice president of Marketing, as well as the appointment of former F5 sales executive Jon Fraleigh as senior vice president of Worldwide Sales.

The company also announced a partnership with data and software services provider Flashpoint to integrate its Deep and Dark Web data into Vorstack’s Threat Intelligence Platform.
