Balbix is building a new cyber-security platform to comprehensively and continuously measure the enterprise attack surface, and calculate breach risk and cyber-resilience. Our system enables organizations to understand their breach risk from the viewpoint of an adversary, across hundreds of dimensions, and predict where breaches might occur. With this knowledge, security teams’ efforts can be prioritized, enabling better planning of security investments, improvement of cyber-resilience, and ultimately getting ahead of the adversary.
