Centripetal

Centripetal is a cybersecurity company founded in 2009 that focuses on proactive threat prevention by operationalizing global threat intelligence at network scale. The company's primary product, CleanINTERNET®, is a threat prevention platform that ingests billions of threat indicators from over 3,500 threat feeds and applies expert human analysis to automatically block malicious traffic before it reaches an organization's network.

The platform operates at the network edge, inspecting individual packets as they arrive and correlating them against a continuously updated database of threat intelligence indicators. This approach is designed to stop both known and unknown threats in real time without requiring manual intervention from security teams.

The most recent version, CleanINTERNET® 6.0 Horizon, was unveiled in June 2025, and the portfolio also includes CleanINTERNET® DNS.

Centripetal combines automated technology with a team of intelligence operations analysts, SecOps professionals, data scientists, and engineers — including personnel with backgrounds in intelligence and offensive security. The company operates a 24/7 security operations function supporting its managed threat prevention service.

The company serves enterprise customers and has received recognition from U.S. government agencies including the CIA, NSA, DHS, and DOD. Centripetal has a global presence with operations across three continents, including a dedicated EMEA and APAC division. It partners with managed security service providers such as Red Helix to distribute its technology to regional markets. The company achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification in March 2025.
