Cybersecurity's impact has never been more significant in a world reliant on digital systems.

SAFE Security is closing 2024 on a high note, witnessing growth and global footprint expansion while harnessing the transformative potential of generative AI. As the year draws to a close, Safe Security has invested in generative AI to solidify its position as a leader in AI-driven cyber risk management platforms. As per Saket Modi, CEO and Co-founder of Safe Security, this aligns with the company’s commitment to the cybersecurity landscape and addressing the critical needs of Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) worldwide.

“The cybersecurity landscape is too fragmented. There are over 4,000 cybersecurity tools, with less than 35 publicly traded. The irony is that no tool provides insights that a CISO wants to know,” notes Modi. Safe Security started as a detection tool, but early in its journey, it pivoted to an agentless aggregator with over 100 API connections, pulling in the telemetry from the top cybersecurity products in the world. This strategy allows it to sit at a layer above most security products and stitch a holistic picture that security teams can act on and be a strong partner to CISOs.

The Generative AI Power

The challenges facing CISOs today are immense. Despite investing millions in comprehensive cybersecurity stacks, many lack the critical insights to prioritise risks and safeguard their organisations. Instead, they are often overwhelmed by fragmented reports and dashboards that fail to offer a cohesive view of their cybersecurity landscape. Safe Security’s Safe X, a generative AI-powered mobile app, was designed for CISOs to address this gap.

Safe X provides real-time business impact insights into an organisation’s cybersecurity posture, empowering CISOs to make data-driven decisions and prioritise risks effectively. It leverages integrated data from an organisation’s cybersecurity tools and translates it into actionable insights.
