“So many companies chase the same problems, but very few actually grasp the issues that security leaders are struggling with, ” said Guy Horowitz, Investment Partner of Deutsche Telekom Capital Partners. “SafeBreach is coming at security from a strategic viewpoint by providing practical and continuous security validation of enterprise security risks through a “hacker’s point-of-view”. This allows organizations to quantify cyber threats in advance and mitigate them effectively. SafeBreach is building a tool which every security team should add to their arsenal.”
Bejerano said, “We had many alternatives for funding but elected to go with strong financial backers with strategic value-add, that will help SafeBreach aggressively grow our market leadership. We see the market shifting towards the understanding that while breaches may be inevitable; the impact doesn’t have to be. Our customers are successfully reducing their attack surface and adapting their defenses while using our platform.”
