We’re thrilled to announce that Sapphire, a UK IT & OT Security Provider (MSSP), has joined the HoneypotDB Beta Program and our Customer Advisory Board.

Introducing Sapphire

Sapphire is a distinguished provider of professional and managed cybersecurity services, offering expertise in areas such as risk management, compliance, monitoring, and incident response. Their mission is to empower cybersecurity teams and leaders with tailored guidance and robust support, helping organisations to protect their digital infrastructure against ever-evolving threats.

A Perfect Partnership

We are particularly excited to collaborate with Sapphire’s security team, especially those overseeing their Managed Detection & Response (MDR) services and Incident Response functions. This partnership presents an ideal opportunity to leverage HoneypotDB’s behavioral-based Threat Intelligence to enhance their existing defenses.

Our journey with Sapphire began at DSIT’s innovation zone during CyberUK 2024, where Gareth Pritchard, CTO of Sapphire, and the HoneypotDB team discovered a shared passion for intelligence. We both recognize the critical role that contextualized intelligence plays in a robust defense strategy.

“Threat Intelligence plays a pivotal role in Sapphire’s defence of our customers. We leverage a diverse range of threat intelligence sources to contextualise threat actor tradecraft, TTPs, and indicators of compromise, which provides critical insight into anomalous behaviour. These sources include commercial, open-source, and proprietary feeds, as well as customer, community, and public body insights.

As a Managed Security Services and Consultancy provider, we protect our customers. To do this, we must turn the noise into actionable threat mitigation. We are always looking for new and innovative ways to achieve this goal.

This is why we are proud to announce that we will be joining the HoneypotDB beta program. This will enable us to support an exciting UK cyber start-up and increase the breadth of our threat intelligence collection.

Augmenting our existing tradecraft and intelligence sources with HoneypotDB’s global network of honeypots will enable Sapphire to reduce the noise, and to take action quicker.”

A warm welcome

We are delighted to welcome Sapphire to the HoneypotDB Beta Program. Their participation and support are invaluable as we continue to refine and expand our platform. We look forward to collaborating closely with Sapphire’s security team, particularly on future releases and integration building.

“With access to our in-development beta releases, we are eager to tap into the skills and expertise that a leading MSSP like Sapphire brings to the table. Their feedback will be instrumental in shaping our product development over the coming years.

We are especially excited about working with their Microsoft Sentinel Team to integrate our threat intelligence directly into their incident response and threat-hunting workflows.”
