The self-hosted threat intelligence platform.
Most threat-intel platforms are SaaS with vendor-hosted data. Self-hosted keeps everything on your infrastructure with zero external egress. Here's the whole category, laid out honestly — including where the others beat us.
§ 01WHO ACTUALLY NEEDS IT
Not everyone. But if it's you, it's non-negotiable.
Data-residency & sovereignty mandates
Government, defense, finance, healthcare, telecom and critical infrastructure under GDPR, Saudi NCA ECC, UAE IA or India CERT-In — where on-premise retention is the rule, not a preference.
Air-gapped & restricted networks
Environments that prohibit outbound US-cloud connections can deploy internally — a place SaaS simply cannot go.
AI-usage privacy
Cloud AI features mean your most sensitive questions are someone else's prompts. On-device inference keeps analysis confidential.
Predictable cost at team scale
Self-hosting sidesteps per-seat and consumption pricing that escalates every time the team grows or an incident makes everyone curious.
§ 02YOUR REALISTIC OPTIONS

No badge theatre. Including where they win.
The same twelve capabilities across all four archetypes. Filter by where we lead — and, honestly, where we don't.
§ 04WHERE WE SIT
Sovereign CTEM — CTEM-in-a-box.
Cyntelligence integrates CTI, attack surface, leaks, brand protection and detection engineering with local GPU-based AI and organizational relevance scoring — the self-hosted, sovereignty-first choice for small and mid-size security teams.
"Nobody else combines local-LLM AI, org-relevance scoring, CTEM breadth, auditable agents, and full Arabic parity in one product."
ACKNOWLEDGED, PLAINLY — we concede primary-source collection and two-way STIX interop today. The full detail is on the Trust and matrix above — we'd rather you read it here than find it in an eval.
