Randori, the Waltham-based cybersecurity startup that launched from stealth in October 2018, has finally unveiled its flagship product: the Randori Attack Platform, which simulates how a hacker might attack a company's defense systems.
Founded in February 2018, the company launched the alpha release of its first product, Randori Recon, in June that year. Shortly after, it signed on Fortune 500 companies in the oil and gas, financial services and health care industries as customers.
CEO and co-founder Brian Hazzard said in an interview with BostInno that Randori Attack builds on what the company kicked off with Recon to allow clients to test a multitude of security simulations.
"Effectively, what we're doing is building a SaaS-based attack platform to make it so that the mass market can now get this experience in a cost-effective way," Hazzard said. "Randori Attack goes on top of Recon, so once you can see the environment, you cut to say, 'Here's what I want to put in scope,' and now Randori Attack is going to come after you the same way an adversary would come after you. We can be a trusted adversary that you can actually learn from and drive your security program."
Already, dozens of companies are using the platform, including investment bank Greenhill & Co., the ACLU, the Center for Strategic and International Studies and Carbon Black, where Hazzard was previously an executive.
"The services industry doesn't really match well with what actual hackers are doing," said CTO and co-founder David "Moose" Wolpoff. "So the whole industry is always at this tremendous disadvantage in trying to be forward-looking or adapted to how this really works."
Randori currently has 20 employees split between its Waltham headquarters and its office in Denver. The startup raised a $9.75 million seed round in 2018 led by Accomplice Ventures, with participation from .406 Ventures and Legion Capital. Hazzard said Randori is not currently looking to raise funds.
"As we start driving in the market with the launch of Attack, we'll start building out go-to-market, so marketing and sales and traditional engineering," Hazzard said. "We'll be putting fuel on the fire."
