Security Pricing Shouldn't Be a Negotiation: Why We Eliminated the Licensing Shell Game
You've built a security program to find certainty, yet the moment you engage a vendor, you're plunged into uncertainty. You encounter tools that demand Unnecessary Intrusion and perpetuate Complexity Over Clarity. But the deepest breach of trust occurs when the invoice arrives, revealing the dark side of vendor relationships: the Licensing Shell Game.
This is more than just a business problem; it’s an emotional and operational stressor. You're forced to choose between comprehensive security and budgetary solvency, creating a massive, vendor-induced risk. The fundamental problem is that most security pricing models are designed to penalize you for success, growth, and even basic due diligence.
The Vendor Trap: Paying for Your Own Growth
The anxiety that plagues security leaders stems from a constant worry: if we discover a new vulnerability or onboard a new subsidiary, will our security budget double next quarter?
Competitor business models are rigged to exploit these necessary realities:
The "Per Asset" Trap: You're charged per IP address, per hostname, or per cloud instance. This actively forces your team to manage risk by managing the license, often deliberately limiting the scope of discovery just to avoid triggering exorbitant overage fees.
The "Report Limit" Game: Need an immediate, complete assessment during a crisis? Too bad. If you've used your two allotted "Comprehensive Reports," you're forced to pay a massive fee for ad hoc scanning or wait until the next billing cycle.
The Feature Blackmail: Critical intelligence needed for a complete defense—like advanced threat data—is locked away. You pay for the core product, only to discover essential capabilities are hidden behind a premium, high-cost SKU, turning necessary protection into a constant, uncomfortable upsell negotiation.
The ThreatNG Solution: Transparency and Unified Intelligence
We believe that trust is earned by demanding less. That’s why the ThreatNG business model is a philosophical stand against this predatory structure.
We license simply and transparently on a per-entity basis (domain and organization name pairing). That is your single price. This model serves as proof that we prioritize value and trust over vendor profit.
That single entity license delivers the complete ThreatNG solution, which includes absolutely everything your team needs to secure your external posture, removing all the games and guesswork:
1. Comprehensive, Unified Intelligence - No Tiers
The most powerful differentiation is the permanent, seamless inclusion of our ThreatNG Intelligence Repositories (branded as DarCache). While others charge extra for specialized data, we unify it all under your license:
Dark Web Presence: Instantly check for associated Ransomware Events and Compromised Credentials without extra fees.
Vulnerability Intelligence: Gain constant updates on the latest CVEs and known exploited vulnerabilities.
Code Secret Exposure: Full access to monitoring public repositories for leaked keys and sensitive data.
Technology Stack: Continuous, granular updates on all the technologies running on your external assets.
These repositories are updated regularly and are the backbone of the platform. You get all of our data, all the time, ensuring a hidden-tier feature never blindsides you.
2. Unlimited Operations and Access
We will never penalize you for doing your job diligently. Your single entity license includes:
Unlimited Scanning: Scan at your convenience. Run ad hoc scanning for new assets, crises, or weekly checks without counting report credits.
Unlimited Seats: Your security team, your compliance officers, and external consultants can all use the platform. We do not limit access, as our goal is to keep all stakeholders focused on mitigation rather than calculating the ROI of an analyst seat.
All-Inclusive Support: Your price covers all maintenance, upgrades, technical support, and full API support. You're investing in a partnership, not just a product.
By choosing ThreatNG, you are selecting a solution that respects both your budget and boundaries, eliminating the anxiety of the Licensing Shell Game and allowing your team to focus entirely on defense.
