Best AI Threat Intelligence Platforms in 2026
An AI threat intelligence platform is a security product that collects data on attackers, malware, leaked credentials and malicious infrastructure, links it into one searchable graph and uses language models or agents to summarize, enrich and prioritize it for analysts. It differs from a SIEM, which stores your own logs, and from a vulnerability scanner, which inspects your own assets.
Quick answer
Filigran ranks first because it documents how its AI agents handle data and keeps humans in the loop. KELA suits teams that want a free domain check before a demo. Sekoia suits European SOC teams that want intelligence and detection from one French vendor.
A threat intelligence lead who shops for AI features usually holds three problems at once: too many feeds, too few analysts and a leadership team that has heard that agents can write the daily brief. The vendor pages differ most on the questions that decide a purchase, namely what an agent may do alone, which model provider sees your queries, and what the subscription costs. Almost every price sits behind a demo request, so this ranking leans on what a buyer can check: printed prices, stated certifications, deployment options and how plainly AI behavior is described. We read vendor pages in November 2026 and ran no feed against real incidents, so claims about coverage belong to the vendors.

- 1
Filigran
Filigran leads because its pages say the most that a buyer can check about AI. XTM One agents run with a human in the loop, customers can choose their own models, SaaS logs are kept one month and all AI features can be switched off. SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001:2022 badges are shown, and an on-premise option exists. No price is printed.
Strong on
- XTM One agents cover threat hunting, dashboards and rule generation for Splunk and CrowdStrike
- States it does not collect user data for training, and AI can be disabled by an admin
- Runs as SaaS or fully on-premise, and OpenCTI is open source
Weak on
- No pricing page was found, so budgeting needs a conversation
- Needs an analyst who maintains sources and connectors, more than a lookup tool does
Skip it if: Teams without a dedicated intelligence analyst, who want finished reports delivered without building a knowledge graph. No price is published. The platform page offers a free live demo, and OpenCTI itself is open source.
- 2
KELA
KELA takes second place because a buyer can start with a domain and no card, and because ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR and DORA badges are shown in the footer. Its Agentic CTI Analysts are described as autonomous agents that speed up investigations. Prices and hosting regions are not stated on the pages read, so both need a written answer before a pilot.
Strong on
- Free start needs only a domain, with no setup or card
- Shows ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR and DORA compliance badges
- Agentic CTI Analysts and an AI trust offering are listed beside exposure monitoring
Weak on
- Pricing tiers and hosting regions were not stated on the pages read
- Six product lines can make a first scope broader than needed
Skip it if: Teams looking only for a self-hosted knowledge graph with no external monitoring services. No price is published. The home page offers a free start that asks only for a domain.
- 3
Sekoia sits third because intelligence feeds its hunting and detection agents inside one platform, and a self-hosted edition is now offered. Agent actions are logged for audit, and containment can run alone or after one click. The page lists no certifications and no price, so a buyer must request both from the vendor before shortlisting it.
Strong on
- Sekoia Intelligence feeds hunting agents, so research and detection share one data set
- Response agents can act alone or after one-click approval, with decisions logged
- A self-hosted edition is available for teams that cannot use cloud
Weak on
- No pricing and no certification list appeared on the home page
- Intelligence is bundled with a SOC product, which is more than a pure intelligence buyer needs
Skip it if: Buyers who want only an intelligence repository, or who expect self-serve signup with a published price. No price is published. The site offers demos and a self-guided tour instead of a trial.
- 4
Anomali
Anomali ranks fourth because it describes its agent autonomy clearly. AURA triages and investigates alerts, and a Recommend, Approve, Act model requires human approval for consequential actions, with thresholds, rollback and an audit trail. The weaker side is what is missing: no price, certification list or hosting model appeared on the pages read, which a buyer should ask about early.
Strong on
- AURA agent triages alerts and tests its own hypothesis against counterarguments
- Approval thresholds, rollback and audit trail are described for consequential actions
- Hyper Enrichment merges feeds and MITRE ATT&CK mapping into one confidence score
Weak on
- Hosting model and certifications were not stated on the pages read
- The platform is built around a SOC, so a small intelligence team may pay for modules it never uses
Skip it if: Small teams that only need an indicator lookup or a research feed with no SIEM component. No price is published. The home page claims cost is decoupled from data volume.
- 5
Recorded Future
Recorded Future is fifth because the AI features are specific while the commercial terms are not. AI Sessions answer questions grounded in the Intelligence Graph, AI Report Creation references platform data, and an MCP server is listed. The privacy policy says inputs may reach third-party model providers. Hosting, certifications and price were not printed on the pages read.
Strong on
- AI Sessions, Insights and report creation are tied to the Intelligence Graph
- Output shows its analysis process and source references
- An MCP server exposes graph data to assistants a company already uses
Weak on
- Privacy policy says inputs may be processed by third-party model providers
- No price, certification list or hosting region appeared on the pages read
Skip it if: Teams with one analyst and a small budget, since premium onboarding and managed services are sold on top. No price is published. The site offers a custom demo and a free maturity assessment.
- 6
Silobreaker
Silobreaker is sixth because its range suits security teams that care about more than malware: cyber, geopolitical and physical intelligence sit in one product, and Mimir AI is listed as a core product. The site links to a trust center, which could not be read here, and shows no price or AI method detail, so the rank reflects range more than verifiable terms.
Strong on
- Covers cyber, geopolitical and physical security intelligence in one platform
- PIR-guided workflows turn intelligence requirements into finished reports
- Headquartered in London, with engineering and data centers in Sweden
Weak on
- Mimir AI is named but its method was not described on the pages read
- Trust center content, certifications and price could not be verified
Skip it if: Teams that only need technical indicators and malware context, without risk coverage beyond cyber. No price is published. The site directs buyers to a demo request.
- 7
EclecticIQ
EclecticIQ comes seventh. Intelligence Center normalizes data into STIX 2.1, offers a REST API and lists AI that extracts entities from unstructured reports and assists report editing. The pages read named neither certifications nor hosting beyond a single cloud deployment for the Foundation offering, and no price is printed, so the rank reflects its standards support more than any checkable commercial term.
Strong on
- Normalizes data into STIX 2.1 and EIQ-JSON with a REST API
- AI extracts entities from unstructured reports and helps edit them
- Registered in the Netherlands, which suits buyers who want an EU contracting entity
Weak on
- Pages read name no certifications and show only one cloud deployment option
- No pricing tiers or plan limits are published on the pages read
Skip it if: Buyers who want an out-of-the-box feed and research subscription without staffing an analyst. No price is published. Pricing is available by booking a free demo.
- 8
Pulsedive
Pulsedive is eighth because it is the only platform here with a printed monthly price, and it offers a free account. The pages read mention no AI features, so it sits below the vendors with documented agents, and a buyer after agents should look higher up. It is an enrichment and lookup tool with STIX/TAXII 2.1 feeds, plus a cloud-hosted Enterprise TIP.
Strong on
- Pro is $29 a month and a free account lets users export Explore results
- Feeds export as CSV or through STIX/TAXII 2.1
- Enterprise TIP is cloud-hosted for teams that outgrow lookups
Weak on
- No AI features were mentioned on the pages read
- Pro excludes commercial use, so a company needs the quoted API or feed
Skip it if: Teams that came for AI agents or analyst-written reports, which the pages read do not describe. Pro is for non-commercial use. Commercial API, feed and Enterprise TIP are quoted separately.
- 9
Flashpoint
Flashpoint ranks ninth. The platform offers cyber, vulnerability and physical security packages, claims over 3.6 petabytes of data and lists a Flashpoint MCP Server for AI assistants. The pages describe integrated AI only in general terms and name no model or approval design, show no certifications and print no prices, which leaves little to verify before a demo.
Strong on
- Three packages cover cyber, vulnerability and physical security intelligence
- A Flashpoint MCP Server connects intelligence to AI assistants
- Analyst review accompanies the real-time alerts that the platform sends
Weak on
- AI capabilities are described only in general terms
- No price, trial or certification list appeared on the pages read
Skip it if: Teams that want to try the product self-serve, since the site offers a demo only. No price is published. Each package has a Get Pricing button and the page describes outcome-driven pricing.
- 10
Group-IB
Group-IB closes the list. Its Unified Risk Platform is powered by Prevyn AI, which bundles threat intelligence, attack surface, fraud protection and managed XDR. The pages read gave no specific certification, hosting region or price, and the AI is described by name more than by method, which makes comparison with better documented rivals hard for a careful buyer.
Strong on
- Prevyn AI sits behind the Unified Risk Platform
- Fraud protection and digital risk modules sit next to intelligence
- Free resources include malware reports and an email protection audit
Weak on
- No specific certifications or hosting regions were named on the pages read
- Broad module list makes scoping and comparison harder
Skip it if: Teams that want a standalone intelligence graph with transparent per-user pricing. No price is published. Offerings are described as subscriptions and retainers.
How these AI threat intelligence platforms were judged
How reliable are AI summaries and agents in threat intelligence?
Reliability depends on whether an answer can be traced to a source, not on the model alone. Recorded Future says its AI reports are fully referenced to platform data and that users can open the analysis process behind a result. Anomali describes AURA building a hypothesis and testing it against counterarguments. Filigran lists a threat hunter agent and a dashboard builder inside XTM One. Silobreaker, Flashpoint and Group-IB name AI features but explain little about their method. Test each vendor with a question you already know the answer to, such as a threat actor your team tracked last quarter, and check every cited source.
How much do threat intelligence platforms with AI cost?
Prices are mostly hidden. As of November 2026, Pulsedive prints $29 a month for Pro, a plan for non-commercial use, and quotes its commercial API, feed and Enterprise TIP separately. Flashpoint offers a Get Pricing button per package and describes outcome-driven pricing, while Recorded Future, Anomali, EclecticIQ, KELA, Silobreaker, Group-IB, Sekoia and Filigran require a demo or sales contact. Ask what drives the quote, whether that is users, modules, data volume or analyst hours, and whether the AI assistant, MCP access and API calls are included or add-ons.
Where does a threat intelligence vendor send your queries and indicators?
Analyst questions can reveal an investigation, so the model path matters. Filigran states that it does not collect user data for training or validation, keeps AI logs for one month on SaaS, lets customers pick their own models and allows AI to be switched off in the admin console. Recorded Future's privacy policy says inputs may be processed by third-party model providers. KELA shows ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR and DORA badges, and Filigran shows SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001:2022. For the rest, the vendor's policy was not checked for this.
Can you move intelligence out of a platform without losing it?
Portability depends on standards. EclecticIQ states that it normalizes to STIX 2.1 and offers a REST API, Pulsedive exports feeds through STIX/TAXII 2.1 or CSV, and OpenCTI is open source, so a Filigran customer can self-host the same graph. Subscription feeds from Recorded Future or Flashpoint are licensed content, which may stay with the vendor when a contract ends. Your own reports, tags, relationships and watchlists are the part worth keeping, so ask for a full export of them in STIX or JSON and confirm the format before signing.
Which threat intelligence platform fits a small team versus a large SOC?
A one-person team does better with a lookup tool or a managed service than with a graph that needs weekly care, and Pulsedive's low entry price and KELA's free domain check fit that start. Teams with a dedicated intelligence analyst can run Filigran or EclecticIQ. A SOC that wants alert triage next to intelligence looks at Anomali or Sekoia. Organizations with geopolitical, physical or fraud concerns beyond cyber add Silobreaker, Flashpoint or Group-IB. European buyers should confirm hosting and the contracting entity before a pilot starts.
How to choose an AI threat intelligence platform in three steps
- Write five intelligence questions and run them in every trial. List five questions your team asks in a normal month, for example which groups target your sector, whether a leaked domain belongs to your staff, or which new vulnerability is exploited. Put the same questions to each shortlisted platform and record the time, the sources cited and whether an analyst had to correct the answer. A tool that answers quickly but cites nothing costs more review time than it saves. Keep the results in a small table so the decision rests on evidence instead of the demo.
- Map what the agents may do without a human. Several vendors now ship agents that enrich indicators, write reports or trigger response steps. Anomali describes a Recommend, Approve, Act model with human approval for consequential actions, Filigran describes human-in-the-loop agents, and Sekoia mentions one-click approval. Decide in advance which actions may run alone, such as tagging an indicator, and which need a person, such as blocking an address. Write the rule down for the whole team. Then ask each vendor to show the setting and the audit log in the trial itself.
- Confirm sources, licensing and exit terms in writing. Ask which feeds and reports come with the subscription, which cost extra and what happens to licensed content on cancellation. Request the export format for your own objects and the deletion timeline for your queries. Compare quotes on the same basis, such as number of analysts, modules and API calls, since a platform quoted per module and one quoted per user cannot be set side by side. Add the analyst time needed for onboarding, because it is often the larger cost.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best AI threat intelligence platform in 2026?
Filigran ranks first here because it documents its AI agents, data handling and deployment options in detail, and it shows SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001:2022 badges. KELA suits buyers who want a free domain check before a demo, and Sekoia suits European teams that want intelligence and detection from one vendor.
Is there a free AI threat intelligence platform?
Partly. OpenCTI is open source, KELA offers a free start that needs only a domain, and Pulsedive offers a free account with search and export of Explore results. None of these free options include every AI feature. Group-IB lists free tools such as malware reports, and Recorded Future offers a free maturity assessment.
How is a threat intelligence platform different from a SIEM?
A SIEM stores and searches the logs of your own systems and raises alerts. A threat intelligence platform holds knowledge about attackers, malware and infrastructure from outside your network and helps analysts decide what matters. Anomali and Sekoia sell both together, while Filigran, Silobreaker and Flashpoint focus on intelligence.
Do these platforms train AI models on my queries?
Filigran states that it does not collect user data for training or validation. Recorded Future's privacy policy says inputs may be processed by third-party model providers acting as service providers. For KELA, Anomali, Flashpoint and the others, the vendor's policy was not checked for this, so ask in writing before analysts paste incident details.
Which threat intelligence platforms are European?
Filigran and Sekoia are French, EclecticIQ is registered in the Netherlands and Silobreaker states a London headquarters. KELA and Group-IB are headquartered in Israel and Singapore. European origin does not settle hosting, so confirm where a platform stores your queries, which sub-processors it uses and which entity signs the contract.
What does an AI agent in threat intelligence actually do?
Typical tasks include answering questions over the intelligence graph, drafting reports, pulling out entities from unstructured text, hunting for indicators in your data and building detection rules. Filigran lists a rule generator for Splunk and CrowdStrike, and KELA describes agentic analysts that speed up investigations. Treat the output as a draft until an analyst has checked the sources.
What is MCP support in a threat intelligence tool?
Model Context Protocol support lets an outside AI assistant query a platform's data through a standard connector. Recorded Future and Flashpoint each list an MCP server. It is useful for teams that already use an assistant, but ask who is authorized to connect one, because query results then pass to that assistant's provider.
How long should a pilot of a threat intelligence platform last?
Four to six weeks is enough to run a set of real questions, connect one or two security tools and see whether analysts return to the platform on their own. A pilot shorter than that tests the demo, not the product. Agree on success measures, such as time per report, before it starts.
