PLATFORM

Built for different teams, not different threats

Styx Intelligence

One platform connects threats between your brand, executive exposure, dark web activity, third-party vendor risk, and external attack surface, so your team isn't stitching together point solutions. Takedown workflows and remediation tracking are built in, not bolted on. Designed for lean security teams looking for actionable insight within days of onboarding, and dedicated analyst support included, not billed as a premium add-on.

Bolster.ai

Bolster scans roughly 4 million websites daily plus social platforms, 800+ app stores, and the dark web, executing automated takedowns in about 60 seconds for 75% of cases. It's built for large, consumer-facing brands managing high-volume, distributed digital footprints, customers named publicly include Uber, Dropbox, Booking.com, and SoFi. Pricing and onboarding scope are set through custom quotes per module rather than published tiers.
