Cosa fa Candor

Insider threats cost the average enterprise $17.4M per year and take up to 3 months to contain. Most of those threats (employees leaking IP, contractors staging data for exfil, accounts misusing AI tools like Copilot) get buried in thousands of noisy alerts from traditional security tools. Candor changes this by telling your security team exactly who to watch before they cause damage. Zero tuning, detection from day one, and it actually learns from analyst feedback.

Insider Threat for the Modern Enterprise

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

We built a security tool that detects insider threats by surfacing exactly who in an organization is likely to cause damage before they do. Our product reduces alert noise by cutting through thousands of alerts from traditional tools, learning from analyst feedback, and requiring zero tuning to work from day one.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we live and where security expertise and enterprise companies are concentrated. Being here helps us build deep customer relationships and iterate quickly.
