Ontic is a security software company headquartered in Austin, Texas, founded in 2017, that builds the Connected Intelligence Platform to help corporate and government security teams identify threats, assess risks, and respond faster.[1][2][4] The platform unifies disparate data sources into a centralized system of record, automating workflows for threat intelligence, risk assessments, incident management, and behavioral threat analysis, serving Fortune 500 companies and federal agencies with programs like executive protection and workplace violence prevention.[1][2] With around 280 employees and $56.6M in total funding (including a $40M round), Ontic demonstrates strong growth momentum, evidenced by awards such as Frost & Sullivan's 2025 Global Digital Intelligence Solutions Company of the Year and consistent Great Place to Work recognition.[1][3][4][6]
Ontic was founded in 2017 in Austin, Texas, by co-founder Gagan Jain and others, emerging from the need for a holistic protective intelligence platform that leverages analytics to monitor threats, investigate risks, and enable collaborative action.[1][4][5] The idea stemmed from real-world gaps in security operations, where teams struggled with siloed data and reactive processes; Ontic addressed this by building software informed by industry-leading security experts.[2][3] Early traction came through serving high-profile clients like Fortune 500 tech firms, bolstered by key acquisitions such as SIGMA Threat Management Associates over two years ago to enhance behavioral threat assessment capabilities, marking a pivotal evolution in their offerings.[4]
Ontic stands out in the security software space through these key strengths:
Ontic rides the surging demand for integrated physical and digital security platforms amid rising workplace violence, executive threats, and cyber-physical risks, accelerated by post-pandemic remote work and geopolitical tensions.[1][2][4] Its timing aligns perfectly with enterprises seeking to elevate security from a cost center to a strategic business partner, leveraging AI-driven intelligence and automation to preempt threats—market forces like regulatory pressures for vulnerability assessments and the convergence of physical/digital risks play strongly in its favor.[2][3] By fostering a community of security experts and sharing resources, Ontic influences the ecosystem, raising industry standards and enabling peers to adopt data-driven practices, much like how cybersecurity leaders like Abnormal Security have reshaped digital defenses.[3][5]
Ontic is poised for accelerated growth by deepening AI integrations for predictive threat foresight and expanding into adjacent areas like global intelligence for multinationals, building on its recent SIGMA acquisition and award-winning momentum.[3][4] Trends such as escalating insider threats, regulatory mandates for proactive risk management, and hybrid work security gaps will propel demand, potentially positioning Ontic as a category leader in unified security ops. Its influence may evolve through strategic partnerships and further M&A, solidifying its role in making organizations safer—echoing its core mission to transform reactive security into a trusted business asset from day one.[2][3]
Ontic has raised $287.0M in total across 4 funding rounds.
