SafeBreach


SafeBreach is a cybersecurity company based in Sunnyvale, California and Tel Aviv, Israel. The company has developed a platform that simulates hacker breach methods, running continuous "war games" to identify breach scenarios across network systems. In July 2016, SafeBreach raised $15 million in series A funding from an investor group including Sequoia Capital, Hewlett-Packard, Deutsche Telekom Capital Partners and others.

History

SafeBreach was founded in September 2014 by CEO Guy Bejerano and CTO Itzik Kotler in Tel Aviv. Prior to founding the company, Bejerano had worked as a chief information security officer and Kotler had spent time in the Israel Defense Force's technology unit as a hacker. In July 2015, the company raised $4 million in seed funding from an investor group led by angel investor, Shlomo Kramer, and Sequoia Capital.
In July 2016, the company raised an additional $15 million in series A funding from existing investors along with participation from new investors Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, Deutsche Telekom, and Maverick Ventures. By this time, the company was operating in both Sunnyvale, California and Tel Aviv. Around 70 percent of the company's personnel works at the Tel Aviv office.

Products

SafeBreach's primary product is a continuous security validation platform that constantly runs breach simulations on a client's network to theoretically and proactively locate and remediate security issues. The platform simulates hacker breach methods such as brute force, exploits, and malware. Using a library of hacker breach methods called the "Hacker's Playbook," SafeBreach develops potential breach scenarios specific to a client's environment and runs simulations to identify whether or not the security defenses that are in place can defend itself. There are thousands of different possible breach scenarios depending on a client's unique network setup.
In February 2020, SafeBreach announced the release of two new capabilities, Risk-based Vulnerability Management Integration and Cloud Native Container Security - designed to address problems that face Security and Development teams.
