Established in 2012 and headquartered in Palo Alto, Safe Security has partnered with over 200 customers worldwide including multiple Fortune 500 companies averaging an NPS of 73.

Backed by BT, John Chambers and senior executives from Sequoia, PayPal, Adobe, and McKinsey & Co., we are also one of the Top 5 Contributors to the National Vulnerability Database of the U.S. Government in 2019.

Our product SAFE enables organizations to get an enterprise-wide, objective, consistent & real-time visibility of their overall digital business risk and their probability of getting breached.

Using a supervised machine-learning engine, SAFE generates an output both in the form of a breach likelihood score (between 0-5) and the $ value risk the organization faces. SAFE provides prioritized actionable insights based on hundreds of cybersecurity signals, external threat intelligence, and business context of what and where the "weakest links" of an organization are across people, process, technology, and third-party.

The company, since 2018, has also been working with Masechusettes Institue of Technology in joint research for the development of their SAFE Scoring Algorithm. Safe Security has received several awards including the Morgan Stanley CTO Innovation Award in 2019.
