About iCOUNTER

iCOUNTER is building the future of cybersecurity. Modern enterprises depend on thousands of third parties—yet nearly half of breaches involve them, making the extended enterprise a critical attack surface.

iCOUNTER is the first Risk Intelligence company built to counter threats across your entire ecosystem. Our AI-native platform makes Risk Determinations at the point of intelligence collection, helping organizations understand what's real, relevant, and actionable.
