Headquartered in Palo Alto, California, Safe Security is a pioneer in the "Cyber security and Digital Business Risk Quantification" (CRQ) space. They help organizations measure and mitigate cyber risk in real-time using their Machine Learning enabled, API-First Security Assessment Framework for Enterprises (SAFE) Platform.

The SAFE platform provides continuous, enterprise-wide breach-likelihood scores and assigns a dollar value to the risks the organization faces, all in real-time, by aggregating automated signals across People, Policy, Technology, Cybersecurity Products and Third Parties.

The SAFE scoring model is built as a joint research venture with MIT. It incorporates cyber security sensors' data, external threat intelligence, and business context and places it together in a Bayesian Network of a Supervised Machine Learning scoring engine to give out scores and dollar value risk.

The SAFE platform provides rich insights to CXOs about their cyber risk posture and the dollar value impact of the risks. The Score enables organizations to have a "common language" across teams from the board the analysts and helps them align with a consistent risk metric and justify investments in cyber security products and cyber insurance for the organization.
Their vision is to become 'The One Score that Matters'- the de facto industry standard for Cyber Risk Quantification!
