Most boards and executives are currently flying blind when it comes to cyber risk. They are guessing. At Safe, we've built an AI-driven engine that finally gives the C-Suite a clear, quantified, and real-time view of their security posture. We don't just provide data; we provide certainty.

We are a $170M Series C-funded category leader. We don't play in the mid-market; we operate at the highest levels of global enterprise. Today, we are proud to serve 10% of the Fortune 500, protecting global icons such as Apple, Netflix, AT&T, Verizon, and Victoria's Secret.

As we scale toward our next chapter, we are looking for high-performers who want to do the best work of their careers at the intersection of AI and Cybersecurity.
