"Unit 221B has built a proprietary threat intelligence platform called eWitness that relies on a curated network of investigators, analysts, and researchers to track cybercriminals across English-speaking countries and expose attack campaigns. eWitness relies on human intelligence (HUMINT), a trusted community of vetted individuals that collectively sources high-signal threat intelligence, to capture, manage, and store data. Additionally, Unit 221B provides law enforcement agencies and international enterprises with tools and services tailored for investigations and threat hunting."
"Unit 221B will use the fresh investment to enhance its eWitness platform with new capabilities, and to accelerate investigative collaboration and go-to-market efforts. "Collective action has the power to change outcomes. We are uniting investigators across enterprises, law enforcement, and governments to create a safer online and offline world. The only way to disrupt these criminal networks is by working together," Unit 221B CEO May Chen-Contino said."
Unit 221B raised $5 million in a seed funding round led by J2 Ventures with support from Pipeline Capital and other investors. The New York-based company focuses on actionable threat intelligence and investigative work that has contributed to arrests of cybercriminals. The firm developed eWitness, a proprietary platform leveraging a curated network of investigators, analysts, and researchers to track cybercriminals across English-speaking countries. eWitness emphasizes human intelligence (HUMINT) from a vetted community to source, capture, manage, and store high-signal threat data. Unit 221B supplies law enforcement and international enterprises with investigation and threat-hunting tools and services and will use funds to expand capabilities and go-to-market efforts.
