Constella Intelligence

What Constella Intelligence does

Constella Intelligence is a private cybersecurity company founded in 2016 and headquartered in Los Altos, California, that provides identity risk intelligence and digital risk protection services to enterprise security teams, fraud teams, MSSPs/MDR-XDR providers, and law enforcement agencies. The company maintains what it describes as the world's largest curated identity data lake, spanning over 1 trillion identity attributes and 54.6 billion curated records across 125+ countries and 50+ languages, aggregated from surface, deep, and dark web sources. Its core technology is the Verified Identity Pedigree methodology — a multi-stage verification pipeline that cleans, deduplicates, and enriches raw breach and infostealer data with source provenance and recency, supported by an Identity Correlation & Attribution Engine that links fragmented digital identities (emails, usernames, social handles, phone numbers, credentials) to verified personas.

Constella operates a dual-platform model: (1) the Hunter+ Digital Risk Protection platform, sold to enterprise security teams and CISOs as a subscription with Executive Protection, Brand Integrity, and Threat Investigation modules; and (2) an Intelligence API that delivers high-speed access to its curated identity dataset for embedding into MDR/XDR detection stacks, fraud engines, identity theft monitoring products, and OSINT tools. The company processes 51.7 million infostealer packages annually (a 72% YoY increase in 2025) and publishes proprietary research, including the 2026 Identity Breach Report, as a thought-leadership and demand-generation asset. Its business model is enterprise subscription with annual terms, EULA-defined API call limits, and a 5%-or-CPI annual escalator; a free Exposure Check tool serves top-of-funnel lead generation. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise field sales, supplemented by a reseller/partner program and an MSSP/MDR-XDR integration channel; the company also maintains an EU branch office in Madrid, Spain to support GDPR-aligned operations in EMEA.
