John Lundgren and J. Foster Davis co-founded the cybersecurity business BreachBits, which just wrapped up a seed investment round.
The organization is leading the cyber risk quantification industry and provides businesses throughout the world with a cutting-edge method for anticipating and averting data breaches.
The funding round, coordinated by Blu Ventures and including BlueWing Ventures, will give BreachBits the resources they need to carry out their objective. The money is intended to help the business expand its clientele quickly and speed up the adoption of its BreachRiskTM solutions. Because they systematically analyze and validate the risks they detect for their clients, these solutions are well-known for their accuracy in cyber risk evaluations and for doing away with the frequent problem of false positives.
Fundamentally, BreachBits is transforming how companies handle cybersecurity. The company provides fair, verifiable, and actionable cyber risk ratings through its BreachRiskTM platform. Compared to standard methods, which frequently rely on indirect signs of risk, this novel approach stands in stark contrast. Instead, BreachBits uses automated penetration testing, which is similar to a burglar testing the locks. This ensures that assessments are done continuously or as needed, and that they accurately represent a company's risk profile.
The company plans to strategically deploy the recently acquired assets towards expanding its sales and customer success teams, integrating other platforms, and improving products specifically designed for cyber insurance providers. BreachBits will be able to further leverage their impressive customer growth numbers thanks to this financial injection, which is expected to strengthen their position in the industry.
BreachBits has already made a great name for itself, with remarkable client retention and satisfaction ratings in a range of application cases. Their method has shown to be quite helpful for clients who are making decisions on, among other things, choosing insurance policyholders' risks, analyzing acquisition targets, and choosing third-party vendors.
The CEO of BreachBits and a seasoned veteran of military cyber operations, John Lundgren, stressed the significance of precise cyber risk assessment. "How you measure that risk matters when cyber risk matters to your organization," he said. This idea serves as the foundation for BreachBits' goal of offering a more realistic and nuanced evaluation of cyberthreats.
Principal at Blu Ventures PK Malhotra echoed Lundgren's remarks, praising the automated penetration testing platform's capacity to democratize access to cutting-edge cybersecurity services. The well-known cybersecurity education expert J. Foster Davis, COO of BreachBits, also emphasized the advantages their cutting-edge risk quantification approach offers to customers, especially in terms of helping companies observe real gains in their security posture.
BlueWing Ventures managing partner Richard Chilton voiced his excitement about BreachBits' future, noting that their scalable and precise evaluations have the potential to revolutionize the cyber risk quantification industry.
