Shifting the asymmetry of cyber security
We build deception technology products like MazeRunner and ActiveSOC that let organizations detect attackers moving inside their networks, hunt threats, automate incident response, and mitigate attacks. Our technology creates traps and lures inside corporate environments that expose malicious actors while minimizing false positives.
We live in Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel, and the company is based there.
Tel Aviv is a global cybersecurity hub with access to top talent and early adopters. The local ecosystem suits our B2B security focus and makes collaboration easier.
