Group-IB désigné comme leader dans le premier Magic Quadrant™ de Gartner® pour les technologies de renseignement sur les cybermenaces

 Dubaï, Émirats arabes unis - jeudi, 07. mai 2026

Reconnu comme l'un des cinq seuls leaders parmi 18 fournisseurs évalués lors de la toute première évaluation Gartner® du marché du renseignement sur les menaces, la plateforme de renseignement sur les menaces prédictive et centrée sur l'adversaire de Group-IB offre aux organisations la visibilité nécessaire pour stopper les menaces avant qu'elles ne les atteignent.

 

Group-IB, un des principaux créateurs de technologies de cybersécurité prédictives pour enquêter sur la cybercriminalité, la prévenir et la combattre, a été désigné comme leader dans le Magic Quadrant™ 2026 de Gartner® pour les technologies de renseignement sur les cybermenaces. Cette distinction place Group-IB parmi les cinq seuls fournisseurs à avoir obtenu le statut de leader dans le premier Magic Quadrant™ jamais publié par Gartner® pour le marché du renseignement sur les menaces, une évaluation qui a analysé dix-huit fournisseurs selon l'exhaustivité de leur vision et leur capacité d'exécution.

Cette reconnaissance témoigne de plus de vingt ans de recherche axée sur les adversaires, de l'envergure et de la sophistication de sa plateforme de gestion des risques unifiée, ainsi que de son avantage en matière de renseignement prédictif sur les menaces. Ce dernier repose sur des sources uniques de renseignements sur les menaces, 21 ans de télémétrie propriétaire, plus de 1 500 enquêtes conjointes avec les forces de l'ordre et une surveillance continue du dark web 24h/24 et 7j/7.

Dans son rapport Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ 2026 sur les technologies de renseignement sur les cybermenaces, Gartner® a souligné l'expertise verticale de Group-IB en matière de renseignement, notamment sa capacité à combiner l'accès au dark web et aux groupes restreints, la validation des réponses aux incidents, la télémétrie propriétaire sur la fraude et des fonctionnalités uniques telles que la surveillance des menaces BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) et son modèle Cyber ​​Fraud Fusion. Ces atouts confèrent à Group-IB une expertise particulière dans les secteurs des services financiers, des télécommunications, ainsi que des administrations publiques et des forces de l'ordre.

Gartner® a également salué l'étendue et la prévisibilité des coûts de la plateforme de gestion des risques unifiée de Group-IB, un lac de données consolidé couvrant le renseignement sur les menaces, la fraude, la gestion des incidents de sécurité (XDR), le sandboxing et les enquêtes. La trajectoire d'innovation de Group-IB a par ailleurs été soulignée, Gartner® reconnaissant une évolution clairement définie de sa feuille de route, passant d'une approche axée sur la détection à une défense privilégiant la prédiction.

« Être désigné comme leader dans le tout premier Magic Quadrant™ de Gartner® pour les technologies de renseignement sur les cybermenaces est une étape majeure pour Group-IB et confirme la pertinence de notre stratégie depuis 2003. La cybersécurité ne peut plus se contenter de réagir ; les organisations ont besoin de renseignements prédictifs, axés sur l’adversaire et provenant de sources uniques, pour anticiper les attaques avant qu’elles ne se concrétisent. Cette reconnaissance témoigne de la performance de notre plateforme de gestion des risques unifiée, de la richesse de notre système de télémétrie propriétaire et de l’expertise de nos équipes internationales qui œuvrent quotidiennement pour aider nos clients, nos partenaires et les forces de l’ordre à garder une longueur d’avance sur les cybercriminels », a déclaré Dmitry Volkov, PDG de Group-IB.

Group-IB named a Leader in the inaugural Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cyberthreat Intelligence Technologies

 Dubai, United Arab Emirates - Thursday, 07. May 2026

Recognized as one of just five Leaders out of 18 evaluated vendors in the first-ever Gartner® evaluation of threat intelligence market, Group-IB’s adversary-centric, predictive threat intelligence platform delivers visibility organizations need to stop threats before they land

 

Group-IB, a leading creator of predictive cybersecurity technologies to investigate, prevent, and fight digital crime, has been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cyberthreat Intelligence Technologies. This recognition places Group-IB among just five vendors to achieve Leader status in the first Magic Quadrant™ Gartner® has ever published for the threat intelligence market, an evaluation that assessed eighteen vendors across completeness of vision and ability to execute.

This recognition is a testament to more than two decades of adversary-centric research, the scale and sophistication of its Unified Risk Platform, and the predictive threat intelligence advantage built on unique sources of threat intelligence and 21 years of proprietary telemetry, over 1,500 joint investigations with law enforcement agencies, and continuous 24/7 dark-web monitoring.

In its 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cyberthreat Intelligence Technologies report, Gartner® highlighted Group-IB’s verticalized intelligence as a key strength, specifically the platform’s ability to combine dark web and closed-group access, incident response validation, proprietary fraud telemetry, and unique capabilities such as BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) threat monitoring and its Cyber Fraud Fusion model. These give Group-IB particular depth in financial services, telecommunications, and government and law enforcement sectors.

Gartner® also recognized the breadth and cost predictability of Group-IB’s Unified Risk Platform, a consolidated intelligence data lake spanning threat intelligence, fraud, Managed XDR, sandboxing, and investigations. Group-IB’s innovation trajectory was further noted, with Gartner® acknowledging a clearly articulated roadmap shift from detection to prediction-first defense.

“Being named a Leader in the first-ever Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cyberthreat Intelligence Technologies is a milestone for Group-IB, and a validation of the direction we have taken since 2003. Cybersecurity can no longer be reactive, and organizations need adversary-centric, predictive intelligence from unique threat intelligence sources that helps them anticipate attacks before they materialize. This recognition reflects the strength of our Unified Risk Platform, the depth of our proprietary telemetry, and the expertise of our global teams who work every day to help customers, partners, and law enforcement stay ahead of cybercriminals,” said Dmitry Volkov, CEO of Group-IB.

UAE commits $49bn to local manufacturers

 UAE to localize 5,000+ products in push for industrial sovereignty – Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and ADNOC Group CEO Dr. Sultan Al Jaber

 

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) pledged $49 billion in industrial procurement opportunities on Monday and announced plans to localize more than 5,000 products as the Gulf state doubled down on its industrial sovereignty agenda.

Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, made the announcement at the opening of the fifth edition of Make it in the Emirates, which follows a period that has tested the region.

“History remembers the challenges nations face. But it also remembers how nations respond to them and what they build next,” he said.

TA’ZIZ announced $40.5 billion worth of agreements aimed at expanding UAE chemical production capacity. The opportunities include offtakes and $2 billion of financing for the UAE’s first world-scale methanol plant.

A $270 million National Industrial Resilience Fund (NIRF) was also launched, which will create 4,000 jobs and eventually substitute up to $24.5 billion industrial imports ($820 million a year). On Sunday, ADNOC unveiled $54.4 billion in procurement opportunities and planned projects.

Billions more in deals and investments are expected throughout the week.

Dr. Al Jaber described the UAE’s departure from OPEC and OPEC+ as “a carefully considered strategic decision” aligned with the country's long-term economic ambitions.

“It is not directed against anyone,” he said, adding that the decision “gives us greater ability to accelerate investment, expand, and create value.”

Dr. Al Jaber said the UAE’s industrial sector contribution has reached $54.5 billion, a 70% increase on 2021, while industrial exports climbed to $71.4 billion — including $25.1 billion in advanced industrial exports.

The new $49 billion offtake commitment is to be deployed over the next decade and targets sectors critical to economic, food, and healthcare security.

“Economic security cannot be imported — it must be built and protected,” Dr. Al Jaber said.

Dr. Al Jaber added: “When a vital artery such as the Strait of Hormuz is closed, it does not only affect one region – it affects the entire global economy.”

“Freedom of international navigation is non-negotiable and cannot be compromised.”

Addressing international investors directly, Dr. Al Jaber positioned the UAE as a global manufacturing platform — citing flexible regulation, advanced logistics, and connectivity to international markets.

The Funds closed 23% above target. Reflecting the strong performance of previous funds, which have already generated in excess of $1 billion in realisations to date, over 70% of existing LPs have re-upped and increased on their previous fund’s commitments, accounting for around 50% of the total capital raised in Fund III. The significant increase in fund size allowed Apis to welcome a number of new investors to its global institutional investor base, including sovereign and supranational investors alongside banks, insurers, pension funds, funds of funds and foundations.

Fund III will build on the strength of Fund II to invest meaningful minority stakes in high growth, profitable financial infrastructure and services businesses in Europe and select growth markets globally. An active deployer of capital in the sector, Apis has invested approximately $400 million from Fund III across seven investments to date. These include MoneyBox, a leader in the UK digital wealth management space, Coda Recharge, a leading European and Asian platform for prepaid digital goods, and Thunes, a global provider of cutting-edge digital payments infrastructure enabling instant cross-border money transfers, payment acceptance, and acquiring services headquartered in Singapore.

Matteo Stefanel, Apis Co-Founder and Managing Partner said: “We are delighted to welcome so many new and returning investors into Fund III. We continue to see opportunities in our target segment of profitable, high growth, tech-enabled financial infrastructure and services companies. We are well on our way to replicating the success of previous funds, by leveraging our experience in this sector and bringing capital and connectivity to our portfolio companies as we invest in the conduits to global economic activity, the pipes of the finance industry.”

Udayan Goyal, Apis Co-Founder and Managing Partner added: “We are incredibly grateful to our investors for their strong support of our sector-focused strategy, validating our belief that specialist funds outperform generalist funds. We look forward to continuing to invest in our key themes of embedded finance, democratisation of finance and the deepening of the digital economy through capital-light, high growth disruptive business models around the world whilst applying our proprietary impact methodology.”

iQmetrix to Showcase Intelligent Commerce Operating System and Catalyst Innovation at DTW Ignite 2026

COPENHAGEN, Denmark - Thursday, 07. May 2026

Bronze sponsor debut includes Catalyst project innovation, live platform demo, and a unified AI‑native commerce vision

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- iQmetrix, the Intelligent Commerce Operating System for telecom, announced today it will exhibit, speak, and compete as a bronze sponsor at DTW Ignite 2026 in Copenhagen from June 23–25. The company will deliver a live product demo in The Loft, showcase its ODA PRISM Catalyst project alongside a consortium of global operators and technology partners, and exhibit at Booth #317 throughout the event.

The debut marks a milestone in iQmetrix’s global growth strategy and deepens its partnership with TM Forum, following its recent recognition as an ODA Component Directory Partner.

The Future of Commerce Is Won at the Orchestration Layer

DTW Ignite 2026’s theme, “The Future. Faster.,” captures the urgency facing communications service providers worldwide. Telcos have spent decades building world-class networks that consumers increasingly take for granted, yet that investment hasn’t translated into loyalty. Loyalty is now earned at the commerce layer: at the moment of discovery, purchase, activation, and support. Meanwhile, decades of accumulated complexity, from disconnected POS systems to fragile activation flows, are blocking the shift from AI-curious to AI-native.

AI isn't improving commerce. It's breaking the model. Journeys are becoming agent-driven and non-linear. CSPs are already selling to customers who arrive with agents that compare, negotiate, and transact on their behalf. The systems behind telecom commerce were not built for this. For years, iQmetrix has been connecting the disconnected: linking telcos, retailers, and OEMs into a single commerce flow across digital and physical channels. That interconnection was the prerequisite. What it enables is the outcome: a system that does not just move transactions through, but orchestrates intelligently. The result is an Intelligent Commerce Operating System, a foundational layer built to orchestrate every experience, for humans and agents alike.

Catalyst Project: Powering Intelligent Plan Recommendations

As part of the TM Forum Catalyst initiative, iQmetrix is showcasing ODA PRISM: Recommending the Ultimate Telecom Plan (Phase II) — a project that demonstrates how agentic, standards-based architecture can power intelligent plan recommendations at scale, moving beyond static product catalogues toward dynamic, personalized commerce experiences. Attendees can visit the Catalyst kiosk to see composable, ODA-aligned components working together in a real-world proof of concept.

The Loft: The Rise of Agentic Commerce

Jason Raymer, Senior Vice President of Client Experiences at iQmetrix, will take the stage in The Loft (DTW Ignite's destination for tech demos and disruptor stories) for a session titled "The Rise of Agentic Commerce: Why CSPs Need an Operating System for Phygital Experiences." The session will cover the evolution from omnichannel to agentic commerce, walk through the architecture of an Intelligent Commerce Operating System, and include a live product demonstration connecting AI-native workflows to real commerce outcomes. The future of commerce, Raymer will argue, will not be won by optimizing channels separately. It will be won by orchestrating the experience between them. The session will take place on Day 2, June 24 at 11 AM.

Meet iQmetrix at DTW Ignite 2026

iQmetrix will be at Booth #317 throughout the event. To schedule a meeting with the team in Copenhagen, visit this page.

About iQmetrix

iQmetrix is the global provider of Intelligent Commerce Operating Systems for telecom.
