SafeBreach is a cybersecurity company that develops breach and attack simulation (BAS) and continuous security validation platform. It is based in Sunnyvale, California. It was founded in 2014 in Tel Aviv, Israel.[1]

History

SafeBreach was founded in September 2014 by Guy Bejerano and Itzik Kotler in Tel Aviv.[2] 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.[3][4] In July 2015, SafeBreach raised $4 million in seed funding from an investor group led by angel investor, Shlomo Kramer, and Sequoia Capital.[5][6]

In July 2016, SafeBreach raised an additional $15 million in Series A funding from existing investors along with participation from Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, Deutsche Telekom, and Maverick Ventures.[4][7] In May 2018, SafeBreach raised $15 million in Series B funding led by Draper Nexus (later known as DNX Ventures), with participation from PayPal and existing investors Sequoia Capital, Deutsche Telekom Capital Partners and HPE Pathfinder.[8]

In April 2020, SafeBreach raised an additional $19 million in Series C funding from six investors.[9] It is funded by Sequoia Capital, Hewlett-Packard, Deutsche Telekom Capital Partners and others.[10]

In November 2021, SafeBreach received $53.5 million in a Series D funding round led by Sonae IM and Israel Growth Partners (IGP).[11][12]

Products

SafeBreach has developed a platform that simulates hacker breach methods, running continuous "war games" to identify breach scenarios across network systems.[13] The platform simulates hacker breach methods such as brute force, exploits, and malware.[14][15] Using a library of hacker breach methods called the "Hacker's Playbook,"[16] 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.[4][14][13]
