The company expanded into video surveillance analytics, situation intelligence, and cyber intelligence before pivoting toward commercial customer engagement AI.
In 2021, Verint spun off its security intelligence business as Cognyte Software (NASDAQ: CGNT), while retaining its customer engagement platform. Before the spinoff, Verint's security division provided signals intelligence, cyber intelligence, and surveillance platforms to defense and intelligence agencies in over 100 countries. The company was taken private by Thoma Bravo in 2025.
