GBHackers releases 2026 buyer's guides reviewing 12 CTI feeds and 12 DFIR firms, flagging Kaspersky for US bans and Coveware's Veeam integration.

GBHackers publishes two 2026 buyer’s verdict guides. The CTI guide evaluates 12 feeds including Google Mandiant, Flashpoint, Recorded Future, SOCRadar, Palo Alto Unit 42, GreyNoise, CrowdStrike, Silent Push, Intel 471, Kaspersky, and Cisco Talos on collection edge, operationalization, noise honesty, jurisdiction, and pricing. No single provider suffices for all needs, with Kaspersky rated strong yet restricted by US and allied procurement bans. The DFIR guide assesses 12 firms including CrowdStrike, Kroll, Mandiant, Cisco Talos IR, Unit 42, and Sygnia on engagement records, telemetry, attribution reporting, ransomware density, and retainers. Mandiant suits nation-state attribution work, while Coveware’s ransomware negotiations now integrate under Veeam and Secureworks operates under Sophos ownership.
