SenseCy

What SenseCy does

SenseCy is an Israeli cyber threat intelligence company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Netanya, focused on dark web intelligence and external cybersecurity threat monitoring. The company's core technology centers on collecting and analyzing intelligence from dark web forums, marketplaces, and threat actor communities to surface actionable indicators of compromise and emerging threats for organizational defenders. Its stated value proposition is to provide customers with proactive visibility into cybercriminal activity that conventional perimeter and endpoint tools cannot detect.

SenseCy serves cybersecurity professionals and organizations on a horizontal basis, addressing use cases including dark web monitoring, cyber threat intelligence, and external cybersecurity protection. Its customer base spans organizations requiring detection and monitoring of threats operating on the dark web, with use cases oriented toward proactive defense rather than incident response. The company is led by co-founders Gadi Aviran (Founder & CEO) and Shai Arbel (Co-Founder & Co-CEO), with Gilad Zahavi serving as Director of Cyber Intelligence.

SenseCy operates in the dark web intelligence market, which is projected to reach $1.99 billion by 2030 at a 21.3% CAGR. The company is recognized as one of the leading providers in this niche, though it has not publicly disclosed pricing, revenue, funding, named customers, or channel partnerships. Available web artifacts suggest SenseCy has been integrated into Cognyte, the cybersecurity business spun off from Verint in 2021, indicating the company's capabilities are now positioned within a broader threat intelligence platform rather than as a standalone product.
