Founded by experienced cloud pen-testers who spent time on the customer side of the equation, Lightspin's goal is to empower organizations to start seeing their cloud environment from an attacker’s perspective and instantly identify, prioritize, and fix any open attack paths.
We believe that what’s needed to address the current security challenges of the modern cloud and containers environment is a different approach; A holistic approach that takes every possible risk into consideration, no matter where it comes from. And this can only be accomplished by getting the attackers' perspective, something our founders’ offensive background has made possible. With the idea of getting the attackers' perspective in mind, we developed a system that visualizes, detects, prioritizes, and fixes any risk to all cloud and Kubernetes environments.
94% of businesses use the cloud. But despite the cloud’s near-universal acceptance, it comes with unexpected complexities that pose significant challenges when it comes to keeping it secure. From the intricacies of the shared responsibility model to the countless settings and configurations that can be intentionally or unintentionally tampered with, there’s lots that can go wrong. Our founders had seen the realities of this challenge first hand during their time spent working in offensive cyber initiatives and set out to build a solution that would change the game. Officially launched in late 2020, Lightspin aims to enable cloud security owners to establish a resilient and hardened cloud security posture.
And now, with multiple deployments in Fortune 500 companies, we are excited to enable organizations of all types and sizes to get proactive and take a predictive approach to optimizing cloud security.
