What Hivint does

Hivint was a cybersecurity consulting firm founded in 2015 and headquartered in Melbourne, Australia. Operating with a team of 11–50 employees, the firm delivered professional cybersecurity services to enterprise and mid-market clients across government, financial services, healthcare, retail, and technology sectors. Hivint's domain (hivint.com) now redirects to LevelBlue (formerly Trustwave), indicating the firm was acquired and fully integrated into the broader LevelBlue cybersecurity services platform. As part of that integration, Hivint's capabilities are now delivered within LevelBlue's managed security portfolio, which encompasses Managed Detection and Response (MDR), Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR), threat intelligence, incident response, penetration testing, and elite cybersecurity consulting.

Hivint's business model was a professional services model: revenue derived from advisory engagements, penetration testing projects, incident response retainers, and managed security subscriptions priced on a per-user or per-asset basis. Within the broader Trustwave/LevelBlue context that absorbed it, the combined entity monetizes through tiered managed security subscriptions (e.g., MXDR at $75/user/month with a $3,000 monthly minimum), co-managed SIOC services, and project-based consulting engagements. The combined go-to-market relies on enterprise sales, channel partnerships with technology vendors (Microsoft, SentinelOne, Splunk, Palo Alto Networks), and strategic regional alliances such as the AIIO partnership covering Latin America. Customer segments span Fortune-class enterprises down through mid-market organizations, with multi-year contracts and recurring managed service revenue forming the revenue base.

Underlying technical infrastructure includes integration with major security platforms (SentinelOne Singularity, Microsoft Defender XDR, Splunk, CrowdStrike, AWS Security Lake) and access to global threat intelligence spanning billions of daily telemetry events. Service delivery draws on Trustwave's SpiderLabs team of ethical hackers and threat researchers. CREST accreditation and analyst recognition (IDC MarketScape, Frost & Sullivan) support credibility in buyer evaluations.
