Company profile
researched Aug 2026LookingGlass Cyber Solutions is a cybersecurity company that delivers threat intelligence-driven security for enterprises and government agencies. Its flagship product, scoutPRIME, monitors an organization's external attack surface and enriches it with threat intelligence so security teams can manage cyber risk and vulnerabilities. Core capabilities include dynamic footprinting of internet-accessible assets and networks to determine whether an asset is involved in a cyber incident; out-of-the-box aggregation, normalization and indexing of 88 data sources and cyber threat intelligence feeds; a proprietary Threat Indicator Confidence (TIC) scoring system that overlays enriched, contextualized threat intelligence on dynamic footprints; and APIs and integrations that export threat intelligence in multiple formats to orchestrate security appliances.
