It automates threat modeling, generates SBOMs (Software Bills of Materials), VEX documents, and signed compliance packages. The platform connects security design with deployed software and is designed to help manufacturers meet regulations like the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). - **[Managed Services]**: A managed service offering to help medical device manufacturers and others achieve EU CRA compliance, providing industry-leading security services to navigate evolving regulations and enhance product security posture. - **[Binary Analysis Engine]**: A core technology for reachability-based triage of vulnerabilities in binaries and firmware, enabling deep visibility into shipped code. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed (Private company) - **Key Metric**: **Annual Revenue** of ~$8.7M (USD) | **Total Funding** of $69.5M across 4 rounds - **Notable Investors/Partners**: - Energy Impact Partners (Lead investor in Series A and Series B) - Drive Capital (Lead investor in Seed Round) - Zetta Venture Partners (Seed Round) - National Grid Partners (NGP) - Energize Capital (Lead investor in Series B) - **Growth Signals**: - Headcount grew **+24.2% YoY** (15 people added), now employing 61 people. - Acquired **MergeBase** in June 2024 to expand capabilities. - Expanding globally with offices in Canada, UK, Argentina, Singapore, and Israel. - Recent job postings (Senior Software Engineer AI/ML, Regional Sales Director) indicate continued investment. ## Competitive Advantages - **AI-Native, Full Lifecycle Automation**: Differentiates by automating the entire security lifecycle (design → verify → prove) rather than just scanning or vulnerability management. - **Deep Binary Analysis**: Proprietary reachability-based triage that goes beyond typical SCA (Software Composition Analysis) to understand which vulnerabilities are actually exploitable in a shipped device. - **Regulatory Compliance Focus**: Specifically built to help manufacturers navigate complex, emerging regulations like the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and FDA requirements for medical devices, a key pain point for OEMs. - **Continuous Compliance Output**: Automatically generates audit-ready artifacts (SBOMs, VEX, compliance packages) tied to every release, reducing friction between security and engineering teams. ## Strategic Focus - **Expanding into Automotive & Medical Devices**: The platform and managed services are heavily tailored for these regulated, high-stakes industries. - **Scaling AI & Automation**: Continued investment in AI/ML capabilities (as seen in current hiring for Senior Software Engineer AI/ML). - **Post-Acquisition Integration**: Absorbing MergeBase’s technology and talent to broaden its software supply chain security offerings. - **Global Market Penetration**: Growing presence in key markets (Canada, UK, Singapore, Israel) to support multinational OEMs. ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: Described as a "leading provider" in product cybersecurity with a focus on mission-driven work — securing critical infrastructure and medical devices. LinkedIn reviews rate compensation highly (4.3/5) but suggest work-life balance is a challenge (2.8/5). - **Engineering & Tech Stack**: A modern stack including **Python, Django, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, Redis, GraphQL, React, Docker, and Node.js**. The team works on advanced AI/ML for binary analysis and threat modeling. - **Remote/Hybrid Policy**: Not explicitly stated, but offices are located in Columbus, OH (HQ), with a distributed team across the US, Canada, UK, Argentina, Singapore, and Israel, suggesting a flexible or hybrid model is likely. - **Notable Perks**: Working on a cutting-edge platform at the intersection of cybersecurity and AI; involvement in high-impact regulatory compliance work; opportunity to shape product security for connected devices globally. ## Sources 1.
