ThreatConnect
Founded in 2011 as a threat intelligence platform, ThreatConnect was one of the first vendors to create threat-informed CRQ when it acquired Risk Quantifier in 2020. It focuses on delivering continuous cyber risk quantification at all levels of an organization.
While ThreatConnect is strong in most CRQ capabilities, it lags in peer benchmarks, compliance, and AI risk assessment. Customers note that the approach to control maturity in the risk model is too subjective.
Its roadmap reinforces its vision with enhancements to threat intelligence, AI, and control analysis. However, its innovation strategy hasn’t kept pace and signals a narrower focus going forward.

Bottom Line
SAFE is the best choice for organizations seeking an autonomous, scalable, and open standards-based CRQ platform. ThreatConnect is a good fit for teams prioritizing threat-informed mitigation, but lacks SAFE’s autonomous approach, innovation, and roadmap.
