In the first half of 2014, iSIGHT Partners made international headlines with the disclosure of two major cyber threats. It provided details on the point of sale malware used in attacks against retailers in the United States (dubbed KAPTOXA), and disclosed a multiyear cyber espionage campaign tied to Iran that utilized social media to target governments - including members of the U.S. Congress, members of the U.S./Israeli lobby and leading organizations in the defense industrial sector in the United States, United Kingdom and Israel (dubbed NEWSCASTER).


This year, the company forged a strategic OEM partnership with Check Point Software (News - Alert) Technologies. This partnership offers Check Point customers unmatched access to iSIGHT Partners' context-rich intelligence for their Check Point security gateways.
