About Us
We are a team of cyber warfare veterans and multi-disciplined professionals. Our goal is to give cyber defenders advantages to turn the tide in the cyberwar. Since 2018, we have worked diligently to empower organizations by helping them understand what attackers see, think, and do.
Now, we're revolutionizing the way defenders talk about cyber - empowering stakeholders and all parts of an organization with easy-to-understand cyber risk scores. When defenders can predict attacks before they happen, and can easily share and communicate with stakeholders, cyber attackers won't stand a chance.
Your organization is both enabled and threatened by cyberspace, and our team is ready to help you make informed business risk decisions.
