New York, New York – February 11, 2026 – BforeAI, a leader in predictive attack intelligence, today highlighted its inclusion in Gartner latest research report, Emerging Tech: Top Use Cases in Preemptive Cyber Defense, which examines how preemptive technologies are reshaping modern cybersecurity strategies.

The Gartner report identifies predictive threat intelligence (PTI) as a critical use case within preemptive cyber defense, enabling organizations to anticipate and disrupt cyberattacks before they materialize. Gartner’s case-based research found that organizations adopting preemptive tech cuts investigation time by 65%, offering instant forensic data for swift action.

BforeAI is cited among a select group of vendors delivering predictive threat intelligence solutions that move beyond traditional indicators of compromise by forecasting attacker infrastructure, behaviors, and likely targets.

According to Gartner, predictive threat intelligence enables organizations to:

• Detect threats earlier using AI- and ML-driven analytics
• Preemptively block malicious domains, IPs, and infrastructure
• Accelerate takedowns of phishing, fraud, and malware delivery sites
• Reduce risk exposure and security operations workload

BforeAI’s PreCrime Intelligence platform aligns with these use cases by leveraging predictive AI to analyze internet-scale telemetry and generate Indicators of Future Attack (IoFAs). These predictions enable organizations to take preemptive actions – including automated blocking and infrastructure takedowns – before attacks can be launched.

From our understanding, Gartner research highlights financial services, manufacturing, healthcare, government, and other regulated industries as early adopters of predictive threat intelligence, particularly for brand protection, fraud prevention, and proactive threat disruption. In one example cited in the report, a financial services organization reduced takedown times to minutes and achieved substantial operational savings by preemptively blocking predicted threats.

“Our mission has always been to help organizations get ahead of attackers, not chase them,” said Luigi Lenguito, Co-founder and CEO of BforeAI. “Gartner’s research reinforces what our customers are already experiencing: predictive threat intelligence enables faster, more confident decisions and materially reduces cyber risk by stopping attacks before they strike.”

The report also emphasizes that predictive threat intelligence delivers the greatest value when tightly integrated with enforcement mechanisms such as DNS filtering, zero trust, SASE, firewalls, and deception technologies. BforeAI’s agentless, API-first architecture allows organizations to seamlessly integrate predictive intelligence into existing security stacks without deploying additional infrastructure.

As Gartner notes, preemptive cyber defense is rapidly becoming a foundational component of cybersecurity programs. Predictive threat intelligence, in particular, is emerging as a key enabler for organizations seeking to reduce risk, improve resilience, and stay ahead of increasingly AI-enabled adversaries.
