Didn't exactly call this in particular, but an old comment of mine about how many serious infosec professionals had a very low opinion of Norse: https://news.yc

  A lot of infosec professionals have the same opinion of the "threat intelligence" pile-on overall. Norse had some amazing engineers working on their appliance, way before demand in any way justified that level of investment. Fortunately most of them have already found new jobs.

    True, the threat intelligence industry is a mess and reminds me a little of early tech startups in the last bubble. It's a response to breach hysteria. Threat intel is a good idea in theory. As more and more threat intel companies start being filtered and shutdown (and I'm sure 80% or more will), there'll probably be a few left that provide some real value to security programs. Until then, it's just going to be 90% marketing.

  A lot of people saw this coming before it actually happened. Everyone has to pay the piper eventually. I predict next company to fail in such a way will be BitSight Technologies - https://www.bitsighttech.com/ https://www.bitsighttech.com/
