When we were at Black Hat USA 2026 with Mastercard, Cybercrime Magazine met Levi Gundert, Chief Security & Intelligence Officer at Recorded Future, the world’s largest pure-play threat intelligence company.

Recorded Future delivers comprehensive, real-time, and AI-driven threat intelligence to over 1,900 customers across the globe.
