GoSecure (formerly CounterTack)

What GoSecure (formerly CounterTack) does

GoSecure is a privately held cybersecurity company founded in 2002 and headquartered in San Diego, California, with additional operations in Montreal and Quebec City. The company, formerly known as CounterTack and rebranded in 2018, delivers 24/7 Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR), a centralized security operations platform (GoSecure Titan®), and a portfolio of Professional Security Services including penetration testing, incident response, threat hunting, adversarial simulation, and PCI DSS compliance services delivered by Qualified Security Assessors. GoSecure serves more than 1,280 clients and protects over 100 million data points, with a stated team of 75+ cybersecurity experts including OSCP-certified offensive testers and senior IR specialists.

The GoSecure Titan® Platform is the technical core of the business, consolidating endpoint, network, email, identity, and cloud telemetry into a single hosted system that checks three times more unique event types than the industry standard. Module products include Titan® EDR (with proprietary in-memory detection and a 4,000+ trait predictive analytics library), Titan® NDR, Titan® IDR (Office 365-integrated), Titan® NGAV, Titan® VMaaS, Titan® SIEM, Titan® Attack Surface Management, Titan® Dark Web Monitoring, and Titan® MXDR for Microsoft, with the Titan® Secure Email Gateway sold as a standalone product. AI and machine learning are applied across IDR, EDR, NDR, VMaaS, and SIEM for anomaly detection, predictive analytics, and correlation.

GoSecure makes money primarily through recurring MXDR subscriptions (tiered Foundation, Aware, and Elite bundles) plus annual Incident Response Retainers, professional services engagements, and channel-led resale through its North American Partner Program covering MSPs, MSSPs, VARs, Resellers, and Distributors. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales with inside sales and event-driven demand generation, supported by a bilingual content engine (GoCast podcast, threat actors library, resource center). The company has cumulatively raised approximately $75 million under CEO Neal Creighton (since 2012) from investors including Goldman Sachs, Fairhaven Capital, Ten Eleven Ventures, Singtel Innov8, Yaletown Partners, Razor's Edge Ventures, SAP NS2, Shield Capital, and Bank of Montreal, and has executed acquisitions of Vantos (2015), EdgeWave (2019), and Columbus Collaboratory (2021).

Product overview

GoSecure delivers cybersecurity through a platform-plus-modules architecture centered on the GoSecure Titan® Platform, an MXDR-based service. The Titan® Platform is the central nervous system that consolidates security data and underpins the GoSecure Titan® MXDR service, which is offered in three tiers (Foundation, Aware, Elite) and bundles endpoint, network, inbox, vulnerability, SIEM, dark web, and attack surface modules. Specific modules under MXDR include Titan® EDR, Titan® NDR, Titan® IDR, Titan® NGAV, Titan® VMaaS, Titan® SIEM, Titan® Dark Web Monitoring, Titan® Attack Surface Management, and Titan® MXDR for Microsoft. The Titan® Secure Email Gateway (SEG) is also offered as a standalone email security product.

Threat intelligence content (Threat Actors library) and the GoCast podcast round out the offering.
