- **Headquarters**: San Jose, California, United States (additional office in Gurugram, India)
- **Founded**: 2015
- **Founders**: Gaurav Banga (founder and former CEO, left April 2026)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Computer and Network Security / Cybersecurity
- **Target customers**: B2B, enterprise (finance & banking, manufacturing, telecommunications, energy & utilities, healthcare)
- **Mission**: Provide every organization with a comprehensive, real-time view of breach risk along with prioritized insights and integrations to transform cybersecurity posture.

## Products & Services
- **Balbix BreachControl™**: AI-powered SaaS platform for exposure management, cyber risk quantification, asset inventory, and application security risk management. Continuously discovers on-prem, cloud, and mobile assets; analyzes 100+ attack vectors; and provides prioritized remediation actions.
- **BIX GenAI Security Assistant**: An AI assistant that delivers instant, evidence-backed answers to board, executive, and auditor questions about cyber risk.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed (private company)
- **Key Metric**: Annual revenue ~$5.3M (LinkedIn estimate); total funding $101.6M (Series A: $8.6M led by Mayfield Fund, 2017; Series B: $23M led by Singtel Innov8, 2018; Series C: $70M led by Redline Capital, 2022)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Mayfield Fund, Singtel Innov8, Redline Capital
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount declined 64.3% YoY to 44 employees (likely due to acquisition); still posting 11 open positions. Acquired by Safe Security in November 2025 to create an agentic-AI cyber risk system. Named a Gartner "Cool Vendor" and ranked #32 on Deloitte Fast 500 North America (2021).

## Competitive Advantages

- Continued development of AI/ML capabilities (LLM systems, data lakehouse, DevOps automation) to improve exposure management and risk quantification.
- Serving enterprise customers in regulated industries (finance, healthcare, energy).

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Startup energy with helpful coworkers, ping-pong, happy hours, no micro-management, and flexible hours (from employee reviews). However, recent founder and VP Engineering departures indicate a transition period post-acquisition.
