With this transaction, Somerville, Mass.-based Recorded Future gets a direct entry into the competitive continuous Attack Surface Management (ASM) business and new technology to help organizations with real-time visibility into networks and servers exposed to malicious actors.

The $65 million deal comes less than a year after Recorded Future announced an early-stage investment in SecurityTrails as part of its strategic threat intel investment fund. At the time, Recorded Future chief executive Christopher Ahlberg told SecurityWeek the fund would be doing investments “in the $1 million to $2 million range.”
