Incident response and cyber risk management for insurance and enterprise
Arete operates an incident response and forensics business serving insurance carriers, brokers, and large enterprises. The tech stack—SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, QRadar, Carbon Black, ConnectWise, Relativity—maps to a mature incident-response practice (EDR, SIEM, case management, forensic analysis). Hiring has decelerated to 2 roles in the last 30 days across a small footprint, yet internal projects span detection automation, threat hunting, and managed security service expansion, suggesting a shift from pure reactive response toward preventative and continuous monitoring offerings.
Arete is a cyber incident response and risk management firm founded in 2015 and based in Boca Raton, Florida. The company partners with insurance carriers, brokers, law firms, and enterprise clients to handle incident response, digital forensic investigations, managed security services, and regulatory compliance audits.

With a 201–500-person organization, Arete has drawn operational data from over 9,000 engagements, which informs both advisory work and software-based detection and response tools. The business model spans incident triage and recovery (reactive) and managed/advisory services (proactive).
