About Safe Security

Headquartered in Palo Alto, California, Safe Security is a pioneer and leader in the “Cyber security and Digital Business Risk Quantification” (CRQ) space. It helps organisations measure and mitigate enterprise-wide cyber risk in real-time using its ML Enabled API-First SAFE  Platform by aggregating automated signals across people, process, and technology, both for  first & third parties to dynamically predict the breach likelihood (SAFE Score) & dollar risk of an  organisation.

The SAFE scoring model is built as joint research at MIT that 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 that the organisation faces. The scores are calculated both at a macro and micro level and  can also be measured for particular Lines of Business / Crown Jewels / Departments.

The SAFE Scores will enable the organisation to have a "common language" across teams, from  the board all the way down to an analyst to be aligned with a consistent risk metric along with  justifying investments in cyber security and purchase of cyber insurance for the organisation.
