Why Nisos > About Us

The Managed Intelligence Company®

Empowering security teams with tailored intelligence for effective digital defense since 2015.

Who Are We

Nisos is the Managed Intelligence Company®. We’re a team of experts passionate about intelligence, investigation, and making a difference.

We recruit, train, and maintain a cadre of intelligence experts from US Intel, law enforcement, and the private sector with the skills and experiences that matter for unmasking threats to protect people and organizations.

Our Impact

It’s our mission to keep organizations and what’s most important to them safe – their teams, clients, users, and critical assets.

For nearly a decade, Nisos has helped leading brands protect their reputation, reduce risk, mitigate losses, avoid regulatory fines, navigate legal processes, and maintain their competitive advantage.

What We Do

Nisos provides actionable intelligence services to solve critical “who, what, why, how” questions, helping to address the Fortune 2000’s unique security challenges and digital business risks.

We work with your intelligence, fraud, cybersecurity, trust and safety teams – and existing tech stacks – to answer questions, address your specific risks, and inform critical decisions.

How We Do It

Nisos applies real-world experience to right the balance of power between threat actors and their targets – you. Our elite team of intelligence practitioners use advanced tradecraft and tools to surface intelligence other teams can’t, helping to reduce your risk.

We assess, monitor, and investigate as an extension of your team, delivering finished intelligence without noise.

Our Story

A Legacy of defeating adversaries that seek to undermine society

As cyber operators and intelligence professionals in the U.S. Government, our co-founders observed corporations who represented the backbone of our society and were routinely falling victim to sophisticated threat actors. These adversaries were traversing the digital and physical planes with ease, using opportunistic and targeted attacks to disable systems, foster distrust, and cause harm.
We founded Nisos with the mission to provide companies with adversary insights so they could better defend themselves. Today we help make the world safer by operating as an extension of our clients’ teams to help them make critical decisions, protect their organizations and people, and drive real world consequences.
