SafeHill

Somewhere between your first enterprise contract and your Series A, someone will ask a pointed question about your security posture. Most founders don't have a clean answer. They scramble. They spend money they didn't plan to spend. They delay deals they can't afford to delay. The gap is real, it's common, and it's completely fixable if you know what to look for. Our latest blog breaks down how early-stage and high-growth startups can use CTEM (Continuous Threat Exposure Management) to close the gaps before they become a crisis: ✔️ The 5-stage framework Gartner says makes you 3x less likely to suffer a breach ✔️ Why "we had a pentest done last year" isn't the answer investors or buyers want ✔️ The six CTEM benefits that map directly to startup-stage pressures ✔️ How SafeHill's SecureIQ platform supports CTEM for startups Read the full breakdown here 👇 https://lnkd.in/ecSQAsRs

What happens when your closest allies start treating U.S. tech as a national security risk? New episode drop: Europe Is Quietly Preparing for a Tech War Chris Tarbell and Hector Monsegur (aka Sabu, co-founder SafeHill) break down a wild week where Europe is actively building escape hatches from American tech dominance — while the usual supply-chain chaos, insider threats, and “meh” ransomware plays keep rolling. You’ll hear: • Why France is forcing government ministries off Windows and onto Linux — and why Hector says it’s both smart and a damn shame • Europe’s new “anti-kill switch” sovereign disaster-recovery stack designed to survive a U.S. cloud cutoff • The Rockstar Games breach where ShinyHunters walked away with 79 million rows of boring metrics — and why Chris and Hector agree Rockstar was 100% right not to pay • The diabolical supply-chain hit where one buyer quietly purchased 30 popular WordPress plugins and backdoored every single one Raw, unfiltered, and zero fluff — exactly what you expect from a former FBI agent and the guy he once arrested.

Security teams don't need more findings sitting in a backlog. They need proof ✅ Static scans can surface possible issues, but possible is not the same as exploitable. Defenders need to know which vulnerabilities can actually be reached in a running application, which ones represent real risk, and which ones deserve immediate attention. That’s where Sentinel comes in. Sentinel is SafeHill’s autonomous exposure validation agent, built to help teams turn theoretical findings into confirmed threats by validating vulnerabilities against running applications. Less noise. More clarity. Better decisions. 🎯 Click to learn more about Sentinel on our new website 👇 https://lnkd.in/ezFEj-wm

Security was never meant to be a calendar event. 🚫 Annual pentests. Quarterly review cycles. Static snapshots of environments that change every day. That's where gaps form - and that's where attackers move. The real shift in cybersecurity isn't more noise. It's continuity. A proactive posture means staying aware of what changed, what matters now, and what actually creates risk in your environment. It means seeing attack paths, validating what's real, and focusing teams on decisions that actually reduce exposure. That's the argument behind our blog: Continuity Was Always the Point: An Argument for a Proactive Cybersecurity Posture. Read the full piece from Hector Monsegur here 👇 https://lnkd.in/eUKk4z4f

Attackers think in chains. Most defenders still get stuck in long lists of severity scores. That's a problem - a list of findings doesn't tell you what an attacker can actually do next. What matters is how exposures connect. A leaked credential. An overlooked external asset. A trust relationship that opens the door to something bigger. That's where risk gets real. Our latest SecureIQ case studies show how seemingly isolated issues can chain into serious business risk across different industry environments.

AI is helping teams ship code faster than ever. That speed is exciting, but it also changes the exposure window. As software ships faster with AI-generated code, security teams need more than legacy scanning tools and long lists of possible issues. They need a faster way to uncover deeper application risk, confirm what's truly exploitable, and focus on the issues that matter most. That’s where Helix comes in. 🤖 Helix brings together AI-powered code scanning, autonomous exposure validation, and agentic AI pentesting to help teams secure modern software faster.

Exciting news! We’ve launched the new SafeHill website 🎉 Click to check it out 👉 https://www.safehill.com/ We wanted it to better reflect the full scope of what our team has been building: a unified threat exposure management platform that helps security teams move from fragmented signals to one connected picture of real risk. Explore the new site to learn how our growing platform capabilities work together to help uncover attack paths, validate exploitability, and reduce risk across external assets, internal environments, cloud infrastructure, code, web apps, and APIs - all in one unified dashboard ✨

Today marks an exciting milestone for SafeHill. 🎉 We’re proud to share that we've officially acquired Arcane Security, a team doing breakthrough work in autonomous AI penetration testing and AI-driven application security. This move comes at an important time. Software is being built faster than ever, and the rise of vibe coding is accelerating that shift even more. 200,000 projects are being created every day on Lovable's platform alone, and Veracode found that AI-generated code produced security flaws in 45% of tests. That's why this acquisition matters. By bringing Arcane into SafeHill, we are expanding SecureIQ to help organizations expose attack paths before hackers do across source code, web applications, and APIs. It strengthens our ability to help security teams keep up with modern development, validate what's actually exploitable, and focus on the risks that matter most. Arcane brings deep expertise in AI-powered offensive security. Combined with SafeHill’s unique approach to threat exposure management, this is a meaningful step forward in how we help customers secure modern applications in an AI-driven world. Just as important as the technology is the team behind it. We’re excited to officially welcome Trevor Baines and Diego Briceno to SafeHill. We look forward to their many contributions in helping us build the future of proactive security. 🥳
