• Cloud Native Control Validation - Security operations teams and threat analysts can validate security controls for Cloud Native applications running in Containers or Cloud native services running in public cloud environments.
• Risk-Based Vulnerability Management - CISOs and their teams can establish data-driven, intelligent prioritization of vulnerability management focused on the greatest risks determined by intelligent analysis of the threat, attack surface and exploitability of each vulnerability.

"By continuing to innovate, we are helping our customers stay ahead of threats even as the environment for cybersecurity grows more challenging," says SafeBreach CEO and co-founder Guy Bejerano. "We continue our absolute focus on enabling  businesses to drive down  their most critical cyber risks and maximize the value they derive from their security infrastructure. The new SafeBreach products, features and partnerships not only helped us grow quickly and win many new enterprise customers but also have positioned us for rapid growth in 2021 and beyond."

The SafeBreach's Labs  team has demonstrated industry leadership with back-to-back speaking appearances at Black Hat & Defcon in 2019 and in 2020. In addition, SafeBreach has expanded its Hackers Playbook(™) from 10,000 to 27,000+ breach and attack methods, adding thousands of novel ransomware and other attacks to build its lead as the largest collection of actual attacks spotted in the wild. SafeBreach's research into Iranian Advanced Persistent Threat groups was featured in February 2021 in the Washington Post, highlighting the company's commitment to deep-dive research that benefits not just customers but also the global cybersecurity community.

"With relentless cutting-edge research, SafeBreach  stays ahead of the bad guys and gives our customers the most comprehensive coverage of known cyber threats along with a 24 hour SLA on US-CERT alerts," says Itzik Kotler, CTO and co-founder of SafeBreach.

We work to give them the ultimate platform for driving down cybersecurity risk in the enterprise."

In recognition of these advances and of SafeBreach's customer-centric go-to-market strategy, the company was named Company of the Year 2021 in Breach and Attack Simulation by Frost & Sullivan and to the Forbes' Top 20 Cybersecurity Companies to Watch.  "Feature–rich platform capabilities, comprehensive use–case coverage,and aggressive expansion efforts have helped SafeBreach to exhibit strong financial performance in 2020," says Sweetha Krishnamoorthi, industry analyst at Frost & Sullivan.
