About Searchlight Cyber
At a glance
Searchlight Cyber is a cybersecurity company specializing in Attack Surface, founded in 2017 and headquartered in Portsmouth, United Kingdom. It employs about 85 people and is privately held.
Searchlight Cyber was founded in 2017 with a mission to stop criminals from acting with impunity. With its Preemptive Threat Exposure Management (PTEM) offering, Searchlight helps organizations identify exposures and neutralize threats before attacks begin. Searchlight unifies leading Attack Surface Management, dark web intelligence, and risk management tools to help organizations separate the signal from the noise and prioritize the threats that matter. It is used by some of the world’s largest enterprises, government and law enforcement agencies, and the managed security service providers at the forefront of protecting customers from external threats. The company's platform offers agentless monitoring of both attack surfaces and extended attack surfaces. Its Attack Surface Management capabilities scan and identify external assets, vulnerabilities, and exposures across an organization's digital footprint. The dark web intelligence products, including DarkIQ and Cerberus, monitor over 850,000 dark web sites and have recaptured over 475 billion data points to identify threats such as credential leaks, data breaches, and criminal activity targeting organizations. Searchlight Cyber serves governments, law enforcement agencies, and enterprises globally. The company has expanded through strategic acquisitions, including Assetnote (attack surface management) and Intangic (cyber risk quantification) in 2025. The Intangic acquisition added cyber risk modeling capabilities that translate external threats into financial impact assessments, helping organizations benchmark their cybersecurity risk and justify security investments. The company's security research team, led by Shubham Shah (top 50 HackerOne bug bounty hunter), conducts vulnerability research and has disclosed critical vulnerabilities in various enterprise software platforms. Searchlight Cyber has also supported law enforcement operations, including the takedown of the BidenCash dark web marketplace.
