Founded by military operators.
Built for defenders.
We're on a mission to deliver world-class cyber risk insight — continuously and at scale — for the moments when knowing your true risk really matters.
Started in a garage, between shifts.
We founded BreachBits in 2018 as two Naval officers working within U.S. military cyber forces. The company started in a garage in suburban Maryland — built between shifts at Fort Meade and the Pentagon.
Our insight was simple: by using AI to simulate attacker behavior and translating what it found into the language of risk, defenders could finally see their systems through a hacker's eyes — and outpace threats globally and continuously. That idea became the BreachRisk Platform: an always-on engine that emulates real attackers, proves what's exploitable, and turns it into a single BreachRisk Score.
The mission has always been the same: to turn the tide of the cyber war in favor of defenders. At Lloyd's Lab (Cohort 13), we worked with leading brokers and carriers to scale that approach — turning it into an insurance capability that underwriters and risk managers can use.
We are The Hacker's Perspective®.
Proof, at scale.
Security testing is a vaccine. Everyone deserves one.


A vaccine works by giving you a small, controlled dose of something harmful — just enough to train your body to recognize and beat the real disease before it ever shows up. A penetration test is the same idea for your security: a safe, controlled attack that trains your defenses to spot and stop the real thing.
For most companies, that vaccine was a luxury — expensive, manual, and out of reach for anyone but the largest budgets. We started BreachBits to democratize it: to make attacker-grade testing continuous, automated, and affordable enough that every organization can defend itself — not just the Fortune 500.
This isn't just a business for us. It's the mission — and it's the why.
