We're excited to announce that Decibel has led Mallory's seed round. Decibel's track record backing category-defining enterprise companies made them the ideal partner as we build the next generation of threat intelligence.
We sat down with Dan Nguyen-Huu, Partner at Decibel, to talk about the evolution of threat intelligence—from raw data feeds to contextualized, actionable insight delivered in the context of your environment.
The Next Evolution of Threat Intelligence
Threat intelligence has always been a data-rich discipline, but Nguyen-Huu argues that the real challenge has shifted. Security teams don't lack information—they have endless threat feeds, vendor advisories, and indicators sitting in silos across the organization. The hard part is turning that global threat context into something relevant to your environment.
"Take the information from the outside world and make it relevant for you at the right time in the context of your environment."
That's the core of what Mallory does: ingest the global threat landscape and contextualize it against your assets, your stack, and your exposures—so your team knows exactly what matters right now.
Contextualization at Machine Speed
The volume of threat data is only accelerating. Adversaries are using AI to scale their operations—a single attacker can now operate with the reach and speed of an entire team. That means the intelligence any organization needs to process is growing faster than human analysts can keep up.
"Having the right intelligence continuously be reasoned over in order to make it relevant to you actually makes your organization more resilient over time."
Mallory's approach is continuous, agent-driven contextualization: taking the global threat picture and mapping it to what's relevant in your environment, automatically and at machine speed. That's the evolution—from collecting threat data to actually understanding what it means for you.
