Tempest Security Intelligence

Tempest Security Intelligence is a cybersecurity company founded in 2000 as a startup incubated at the Recife Center for Advanced Studies and Systems (C.E.S.A.R.) in Brazil’s Porto Digital technology hub. The company later opened offices in Sao Paulo and London, and in 2020 aerospace manufacturer Embraer acquired a majority stake while Tempest continued operating under its own brand.
