Ce que fait Vectrix

As organizations around the world continue to rapidly adopt SaaS applications as the way they run their businesses, many are left without a way to manage the security of those same applications. Corporate IT and security teams are left asking questions like: - How will I know if someone shares a sensitive Google Doc publicly? - What if one of our employees doesn't have two-factor authentication enabled in Zoom? - Will I know when a new user is added to Slack? - What happens if our Salesforce minimum password setting isn't strong enough? With Vectrix's easy-to-use SaaS security scanning, organizations everywhere can quickly identify security issues and risks like these across their entire suite of SaaS apps, including Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, Zoom, GitHub, and more. When new issues arise, IT and security teams can be alerted in real-time so that further action can be taken right away. Founded by former security professionals from Autodesk, Vimeo, and PlanGrid, Vectrix is committed to providing teams of all sizes an efficient and reliable way to stay secure in the public cloud.

Scan your SaaS apps and instantly identify security issues

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We've built a SaaS security scanner that connects to apps like Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, Zoom, and others to identify security issues instantly. It alerts IT and security teams in real-time when risks appear, like exposed sensitive documents or weak password settings, so they can fix problems before damage happens.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We currently live and work in San Francisco, CA, and after YC the company would remain based there.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we live and built the product. It's where we have access to security professionals and customers who understand SaaS security challenges, so it makes the most sense for us to stay here.
