Company profile
researched Aug 2026BlueVoyant is a cybersecurity company headquartered in New York City that provides an end-to-end internal and external cyber defense platform for enterprises and government entities. It combines proprietary data, analytics and technology with third-party tooling and professional services, continuously monitoring customer networks, endpoints, supply chains, attack surfaces and the dark web.
The company's principal lines of business are Managed Detection and Response (24/7 detection and response inside customer networks and endpoints), Third-Party Cyber Risk Management / Supply Chain Defense (supplier, supply chain and investment portfolio monitoring), Digital Risk Protection (real-time visibility of external threats), and cybersecurity professional services including digital forensics and incident response, incident preparedness, governance, risk and compliance, penetration testing, and security maturity and readiness programs. Capabilities can be deployed individually or as a full-spectrum cyber defense solution. BlueVoyant also markets supply chain defense to public-sector acquisition program management teams, offering pre-award risk assessment of a target industrial base, continuous monitoring for new risk events, and mapping of shared supplier relationships across program offices.
Founding story
BlueVoyant was founded in 2017 by former Fortune 500 executives and former government cyber officials, with James (Jim) Rosenthal, previously COO of Morgan Stanley, senior partner at McKinsey & Company, head of corporate strategy and corporate development at Lehman Brothers and CFO at Tishman Speyer, as CEO, and Thomas Glocer as executive chairman. The business was originally named BlueteamGlobal and was created by merging three cybersecurity technology businesses — BitVoyant, K2 Cyber Defense and K2G — before being rebranded BlueVoyant in November 2017. The founders positioned the company around the premise that cybersecurity had become a leading threat to businesses and government agencies.
Business model
BlueVoyant sells managed and subscription-style cyber defense services alongside professional services engagements. Customers can adopt individual capabilities — managed detection and response, third-party cyber risk management, digital risk protection — or the full platform, with BlueVoyant operating monitoring and response on their behalf. For external risk monitoring, the customer supplies only its name and domain, and the platform handles discovery, alerting and remediation support.
Revenue is generated from recurring managed security service contracts, reported as annual recurring revenue, supplemented by cybersecurity professional services engagements.
Traction
The company reported more than 560 employees and more than 700 customers as of February 2022, average annual recurring revenue growth of 117% since 2018, triple-digit growth and an 80% increase in customer count in 2021, and expansion into more than 10 additional countries that year. A July 2023 company-approved profile reported 650+ employees and nearly 1,000 clients across more than 40 countries, four funding rounds totaling $525.5 million and a $1 billion valuation in 2022.
Latest developments
The most recent documented milestones are the February 2022 close of the $250 million Series D led by Liberty Strategic Capital, with Steven T. Mnuchin joining the board and Liberty Managing Director Michael D'Ambrosio joining the strategic advisory board, followed by reported 2022 expansion into Singapore for Asia Pacific and Japan operations and the opening of a European regional headquarters in Budapest.
