NOMINATION HIGHLIGHTS

Clear Cyber Defense’s Threat Intelligence Team operates with the kind of precision, foresight, and impact that sets the tone for what modern threat intel should look like. This isn’t a team that waits for alerts — they anticipate, identify, and act before threats materialize.

They’ve built a program grounded in context-rich intelligence, deeply technical analysis, and a clear understanding of what decision-makers need to act quickly and confidently. Their approach blends human expertise with automation, but their real advantage is how they think — like defenders, like attackers, and like partners.

This team’s work over the last year has resulted in early discovery and disruption of credible threats targeting critical infrastructure, healthcare, and the public sector. They’re known for connecting the dots others miss and delivering insights that are immediately actionable, not just informational.

Collaboration is at the heart of what they do. They contribute to cross-sector briefings, support ISACs and industry forums, and regularly share threat intelligence beyond client walls — strengthening not just the organizations they serve, but the broader cybersecurity community.

They also invest in the future of the field. From mentoring young analysts to engaging with universities and speaking at industry events, they’ve made it a priority to give back and help grow the next generation of threat intel professionals.

Their internal culture is built on curiosity, rigor, and responsibility. Every incident is treated as an opportunity to learn. Every stakeholder is approached as a partner. Every report is written with the goal of enabling better, faster decisions — whether it’s going to a CISO, an operator, or a line analyst.

Clients consistently recognize the value of this team not just in moments of crisis, but in the trust and confidence they build long before the threat appears.

In an environment where threats evolve by the hour, Clear Cyber Defense’s Threat Intelligence Team brings clarity, consistency, and calm. Their work elevates the standard for the entire industry, and they are more than deserving of recognition as the Threat Intelligence Team of the Year.
