Ontic Named Frost and Sullivan’s Company of the Year for Revolutionizing Security Technology
Learn how our commitment to innovation, excellence, and client success made this achievement possible
The security industry is undergoing a profound transformation. The convergence of digital and physical threats, the overwhelming surge of data, and the rise of misinformation have made staying ahead of risks more challenging than ever. For too long, security has been stuck in a reactive cycle — responding to incidents only after they occur, mainly due to the limitations of fragmented tools. However, as security becomes a boardroom priority, the challenge is clear: How can teams shift to a proactive approach in mitigating risks and threats? The first step is breaking down silos.
Silos are the enemy that hinder collaboration and exchange of value. Throughout history, humans have unintentionally created silos — just as early explorers developed disconnected trade routes. What if security could follow a similar path, establishing its own interconnected grid that consolidates vast amounts of data into a single system of record — eliminating blind spots and enabling a truly proactive strategy?
Ontic is building that system of record. We want to help security teams like yours establish your own grids to break down silos to transform the perception of security from a tactical expense to a strategic imperative. This vision drives how we approached building our platform, which is designed to empower security teams with Connected Intelligence and actionable insights — all within a unified system. It’s also why we are honored to be recognized as Frost & Sullivan’s 2025 Company of the Year in the global digital intelligence solutions industry, presented to the company that best embodies visionary innovation, exceptional performance, and meaningful customer impact.
Unifying disparate systems with an integrated security grid
As someone who did not “grow up” as a security practitioner, my vision for an integrated security approach began when I thought of the many connected systems that exist in the world and how systems evolve to overcome the silos we create. History is filled with examples of disconnected networks being revolutionized by innovation, from the Transcontinental Railroad unifying disparate trade routes to air travel transforming global mobility.
The most valuable currency in security isn’t goods or transportation — it’s information. Yet, critical data often remains trapped in fragmented tools and processes, limiting its potential. If a platform could seamlessly connect these disparate elements, you would be empowered to transform raw information into actionable intelligence.
The Ontic Platform operates as the foundation of a security intelligence grid, facilitating interoperability across an organization’s data ecosystem. This foundation supports critical capabilities layered on top of it, such as integrated threat research with POI management, OSINT and risk intelligence, and case management for incidents and investigations. Our integration ecosystem further extends this connectivity, linking external data sources back to our grid.
The result? A 360-degree shared view of risk that empowers you to anticipate and mitigate threats and address what may be your biggest challenge: the lack of centralized intelligence due to siloed tools.
Danielle VanZandt, Research Manager – Security at Frost & Sullivan, affirms this need: “rather than forcing security teams to monitor and manage data feeds from multiple different systems, digital intelligence solutions have emerged as the single-platform solution for security teams to gain visibility into their threat landscape and enact specific mitigation measures in response to detected risks.”
Ontic’s clients understand the power of Connected Intelligence better than anyone.
Ontic’s client-centric approach and recognition as an industry leader
Being recognized as Frost & Sullivan’s Company of the Year in the global digital intelligence industry is a testament to our team’s dedication and the trust of our clients. At Ontic, client-centricity is at the core of why we do what we do, and our success would not be possible without the security professionals who challenge us to improve our technology to support your important work. I spend significant time with clients and prospects daily, listening to your challenges and thinking about how to continue improving your grids to address your needs and exceed expectations.
This is our third time earning the Company of the Year distinction — first in 2022 as the Global Entrepreneurial Company of the Year, in 2023 as the Company of the Year in the global digital intelligence solutions industry, and now again in 2025. We have also been a consistent presence in Frost & Sullivan’s Digital Intelligence Solutions Radar reports, earning recognition as the Growth and Innovation Leader in both 2023 and 2024. While these accolades are gratifying, our ultimate goal remains the same: to provide the connected technology our clients need to keep people safe and elevate security teams as an essential, business-critical function.
We‘re thankful to Frost & Sullivan for this recognition.
