Recognized as one of just five Leaders out of 18 evaluated vendors in the first-ever Gartner® evaluation of threat intelligence market, Group-IB's adversary-centric, predictive threat intelligence platform delivers visibility organizations need to stop threats before they land
SINGAPORE, May 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Group-IB, a leading creator of predictive cybersecurity technologies to investigate, prevent, and fight digital crime, has been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cyberthreat Intelligence Technologies. This recognition places Group-IB among just five vendors to achieve Leader status in the first Magic Quadrant™ Gartner® has ever published for the threat intelligence market, an evaluation that assessed eighteen vendors across completeness of vision and ability to execute.
This recognition is a testament to more than two decades of adversary-centric research, the scale and sophistication of its Unified Risk Platform, and the predictive threat intelligence advantage built on unique sources of threat intelligence and 21 years of proprietary telemetry, over 1,500 joint investigations with law enforcement agencies, and continuous 24/7 dark-web monitoring.
Recognition for Innovation in Predictive Cyber Defence and Unified Risk Intelligence
In its 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cyberthreat Intelligence Technologies report, Gartner® highlighted Group-IB's verticalized intelligence as a key strength, specifically the platform's ability to combine dark web and closed-group access, incident response validation, proprietary fraud telemetry, and unique capabilities such as BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) threat monitoring and its Cyber Fraud Fusion model. These give Group-IB particular depth in financial services, telecommunications, and government and law enforcement sectors.
Gartner® also recognized the breadth and cost predictability of Group-IB's Unified Risk Platform, a consolidated intelligence data lake spanning threat intelligence, fraud, Managed XDR, sandboxing, and investigations, offering unlimited users, APIs, hunting rules, and takedowns at enterprise scale. Group-IB's innovation trajectory was further noted, with Gartner® acknowledging a clearly articulated roadmap shift from detection to prediction-first defence, encompassing attack-path modelling, predictive fraud disruption through Cyber Fraud Fusion, and unified incident management across Threat Intelligence, Attack Surface Management, Digital Risk Protection, and Cloud Security Posture Management.
"Being named a Leader in the first-ever Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cyberthreat Intelligence Technologies is a milestone for Group-IB, and a validation of the direction we have taken since 2003. Cybersecurity can no longer be reactive, and organizations need adversary-centric, predictive intelligence from unique threat intelligence sources that helps them anticipate attacks before they materialize. This recognition reflects the strength of our Unified Risk Platform, the depth of our proprietary telemetry, and the expertise of our global teams who work every day to help customers, partners, and law enforcement stay ahead of cybercriminals," said Dmitry Volkov, CEO of Group-IB.
Intelligence built on two decades of adversary visibility
Group-IB's Leader positioning reflects capabilities forged in the field. Its Threat Intelligence solution delivers Predictive Indicators of Attack, generated from longitudinal intelligence and 24/7 dark-web monitoring, empowering organizations to forecast attacker tactics, toolsets, and regional campaigns before they fully materialize. Group-IB's Threat Intelligence has powered more than 1,500 joint investigations with law enforcement agencies, including INTERPOL, Europol, AFRIPOL, and underpins the threat visibility delivered to enterprises, financial institutions, and governments across Group-IB's global network of 11 Digital Crime Resistance Centers.
Group-IB's Cyber Fraud Fusion model, which integrates fraud intelligence with threat intelligence at the data layer, eliminates the blind spots that emerge when cybersecurity and fraud teams operate in silos. In an environment where Group-IB's proprietary research confirms that ransomware groups and fraud ecosystems are increasingly converging and sharing infrastructure, this unified view is not a feature advantage, but a strategic necessity for any organization serious about prediction-first defence.

HONG KONG, May 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- How did one relatively small country in East Asia develop such a massive influence on the rest of the world, from California to Singapore and everywhere in between? CNN Original Series K-Everything travels to South Korea to answer that question. Across four compelling episodes, K-Everything will trace the roots of Korean culture with some of the biggest names in the country's creative scene.
Host and executive producer, Daniel Dae Kim, goes from Seoul to Pyeongchang and beyond, on a journey of cultural exploration. Follow along as Kim uncovers the country's complicated history through travel and entertainment to find out what's driving this global phenomenon.
"It's both a personal and professional thrill to be able to showcase Korea through our series, K-Everything," said Kim. "There's never been more interest in its people and culture, so it feels like the perfect time to explore the dynamics of its success. Whether you're already a K-expert, or a newbie, we hope you'll be able to gain a unique and fresh perspective on a place that means so much to me."
In the premiere episode, Kim explores what's behind the unprecedented rise of K-pop on the international stage. The Korean pop industry has produced some of the most successful music acts ever. Behind the catchy tunes and slick choreography, there's a fine-tuned formula for creating hits and harnessing the power of fans. Kim meets some of K-pop's biggest artists including Psy, Taeyang, JEON SOMI, AllDay Project and MEOVV, and examines the superfan phenomenon driving this industry.
In one generation, South Korea's film and TV industry has gone from censorship to winning Oscars and breaking streaming records. In episode two, Kim looks at this period of rapid change, and how it is driving a new wave of storytelling. Through conversations with some of the country's most celebrated creators including leading actor Lee Byung-hun, director Yeon Sang-ho, screenwriter Kim Eun-sook, and entertainment industry pioneer Miky Lee, Kim finds out why themes that preoccupy Korean creatives are resonating with audiences worldwide.
Korean barbecue might have put K-food on the map, but it's only one aspect of the country's richly diverse cuisine. In episode three, Kim explores the meteoric rise of Korean cuisine, through conversations with legendary chefs and restauranteurs like Corey Lee, Mingoo Kang, and Cho Hee-sook, in a story that is not just about what to eat and how to make it, but about nostalgia, pride, innovation, and determination.
South Korea is widely regarded as the cosmetics capital of the world, with legions of fans aspiring to look like their flawless K-celebrity idols. In the final episode of K-Everything, Kim digs beneath the surface to learn why the desire to focus on appearance is deeply ingrained in Korean society, driven by rapid modernization and political shifts. He's joined by top model Irene Kim, and leading beauty influencer, LeoJ, to find out what K-beauty means for men and women in Korea.
K-Everything continues the legacy of CNN Original Series' host-led storytelling that examines global culture and the human experience, joining an award-winning library of premium programming streaming on the CNN app.
The CNN Original Series is sponsored by one of South Korea's largest companies, Hyundai Motor Company, a global brand deeply rooted in Korean heritage whose growth has mirrored the country's own journey of innovation and progress.
K-Everything premieres Saturday, May 9 at 8am ET and replays at 8pm ET and on Sunday, May 10 at 11am ET and 3pm ET on CNN International. The 4-episode series will stream live for CNN International pay TV subscribers via CNN.com, CNN connected TV and mobile apps weekly. It will be available on demand beginning Saturday, May 9 to CNN's streaming subscribers in the US via CNN.com and CNN connected TV and mobile apps. The series will also be available to stream on HBO Max, where available.
Kim is repped by UTA, Linden Entertainment, Narrative PR and Gang Tyre.
