Ideal Customer
- ThreatER explicitly targets small businesses, enterprises, and MSPs, with its homepage calling out all three segments.
- G2 reviewer data shows verified users from mid-market companies (51–1,000 employees) in sectors like hospital and health care, suggesting a core sweet spot in the mid-market range.
Key Differentiators
- ThreatER's core differentiator is its preemptive, inline threat blocking model — rather than detecting and responding to threats after they enter the network, it blocks known malicious IPs and domains before they reach the firewall or security stack, claiming to reduce traffic hitting firewalls by 30–50% and blocking up to 1.1 billion threats per month for some customers.
- The platform supports enforcement on up to 150 million threat indicators at line speed with no measurable latency impact, which it claims no legacy firewall can match.
Industries Served
- ThreatER serves a broad range of industries including financial services (community and regional banks), legal, healthcare (hospitals and large health systems), higher education, K–12 education (via the Carahsoft/E-Rate partnership), manufacturing, pharmaceutical, telecommunications, aerospace, and government/public sector.
- Their 2022 Security Stack Insights Report surveyed IT professionals across Higher Education, Finance, Computer and Technology, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Pharmaceutical, Telecommunication, and Aerospace verticals.
Service Coverage
- ThreatER operates as a global SaaS platform, delivering protection across on-premises, cloud, Wi-Fi, edge, and remote environments with no geographic restrictions on where customers connect.
- The platform's EnforceDNS product runs on a global Anycast network, and the Enforce product is available on all three major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform) as well as on-premise and hybrid configurations.
Partnerships
- ThreatER has over 50 technology integrations spanning threat intelligence providers, cloud platforms, and security tool vendors.
- Marketplace premium integrations include Bambenek, Bitdefender, CleanDNS, DomainTools, GreyNoise/RIOT, Malware Patrol, Proofpoint Emerging Threats, and Webroot.
Company Size & Ownership
- ThreatER was founded in 2013–2014 (sources vary slightly) and is headquartered in Tysons, Virginia.
- The company currently has approximately 28 employees, placing it firmly in the small startup category.
Compliance & Certifications
- No specific compliance certifications (e.g., SOC 2, FedRAMP, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or ISO 27001) are publicly disclosed or prominently advertised by ThreatER on their website or in available press coverage.
- On the recognition side, ThreatER (under prior branding) has received a 2022 Fortress Cyber Security Award, an SC Awards nomination, a DCA Live Tech 100 honor, and was named to the 2024 Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in America (ranked #3,321 in the Security category).
