Threat intelligence and security operations platform whose Quarterback AI agents research threats, triage alerts and vulnerabilities, write detections and map attack flows under customer defined approvals, with Orchestrate playbooks, an open source MCP server and cloud, on premises or air gapped deployment.

Cyware sells an AI powered threat intelligence and security operations platform for enterprises, MSSPs and threat sharing networks. Its products, packaged as the Cyware Intelligence Suite for enterprise SOCs and the Cyware Collaboration Suite for ISACs, ISAOs, CERTs and sharing networks, include Intel Exchange (threat intelligence management), Collaborate (sharing), Orchestrate (automation and orchestration) and Respond (incident response), with more than 400 integrations. Cyware states more than 30,000 organizations use the platform.

Cyware Quarterback AI delivers agents through the Agent Hub, available inside Intel Exchange and as a Chrome and Edge extension. Named agents include Threat Intel Research, Vulnerability Exposure Analysis, DRP Triage, Threat Briefing, Priority Intelligence Requirement, Vulnerability Triage, Security Advisory, Detection Engineering (editable detection rules from alerts, IOCs, TTPs and malware) and Attack Flow Intelligence, alongside a Playbook Builder, a Custom Code Generator and a run log debugger for Orchestrate playbooks.

Customers define approval workflows, autonomy levels and governance policies so agents perform only authorized actions, every action is logged, and playbook run logs show each node's inputs, outputs, timing and errors. An open source Cyware MCP Server lets assistants such as Claude Desktop and Cursor search intelligence, create intel and tags, and run Orchestrate playbooks and app actions.

Cyware lists a SOC 2 Type 2 report and ISO 27001:2022 certification, and its Cyber Fusion Center appears on the FedRAMP Marketplace as Legacy FedRAMP Ready at Moderate. It supports cloud, on premises and air gapped deployments. Founded by CEO Anuj Goel, it raised a thirty million dollar Series C in 2023 led by Ten Eleven Ventures with Advent International and Zscaler participating. It fits SOC and threat intelligence teams, MSSPs and sharing communities that want intelligence driven automation with customer set approvals and on premises options; the models behind its agents are not named.

Integrations

More than 400 integrations across the security stack, with agents acting through existing tools over MCP connections and Orchestrate app actions; enrichment sources such as VirusTotal and Mandiant; STIX 2.1 normalization and MITRE ATT&CK mapping; a Microsoft Sentinel partnership; an App Marketplace and Playbook Store; the Agent Hub browser extension for Chrome and Edge; and the open source Cyware MCP Server for Claude Desktop, Cursor and other assistants.

In practice

The SOC Analysis Agent enriches IOCs, correlates alerts, and delivers step by step mitigation from the analyst's browser, cutting triage time two to three times

The Detection Engineering Agent converts a threat report into validated YARA and Sigma rules and Splunk queries with no manual coding

An ISAC uses Cyware to automatically ingest, normalize to STIX, and share threat intelligence across tens of thousands of member organizations

Pricing

Contact sales; custom quote per engagement

custom quote by suite, deployment model, analyst seats, feeds, automation volume and add ons

What is public

A pricing page with no prices: it names the two suites and the pricing inputs (deployment model, analyst seats, intelligence feeds, automation volume, sandbox capacity, digital risk protection, add ons) and offers a custom quote.

Billing mechanics

Custom quoted per engagement across two suites (Intelligence Suite for enterprise SOCs, Collaboration Suite for ISACs and sharing networks); cloud, on premises, air gapped and staging deployments are available and the deployment model is a pricing input.

Cost watchouts

Automation volume, sandbox capacity and add ons are named pricing inputs, so heavier automation and extra modules raise the quote.

Variable cost rationale

Cyware names automation volume, analyst seats and feeds among its pricing inputs, so cost scales with operational scale and the suites adopted; no metering rates are published.

Additional watchouts

Component mix drives cost; MSSP and ISAC deployments scale by members; confirm whether agentic AI is bundled or an add on.

Sales call required

Yes, required for paid access

Free / trial

No public free tier; custom quote or demo request

Key ambiguities

Pricing axis and figures are unpublished; modular structure means quotes depend heavily on component mix and member scale.

Missing data

All pricing figures, per component rates, AI feature pricing.
