Our take
As ransomware and hacking threats rise, identifying and resolving breaches in security must be done quickly. Lack of transparency in cyber-security makes it difficult for engineers to detect, understand, and fix the issues as fast as possible. Expel is aiming to redefine what a security operations center and managed detection service looks like in the modern age.
Though the company faces competition from the vast number of cybersecurity platforms, Expel positions itself as a viable alternative to the service delivery model of managed security service providers (MSSPs) by offering a comprehensive management platform that connects to its customers’ tech remotely through APIs, providing fast detection and clear solutions.
Having reached unicorn status, the company is establishing a stronger presence in the European and Asia-Pacific markets, capturing business in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Singapore. Its 2022 funding is being used to accelerate sustainable growth, continue the company's international expansion, and push forward with go-to-market initiatives.

Company values
- Treat people like people - This starts with being honest, consistent, and authentic and results in strong relationships built on trust. We gain a stronger sense of personal responsibility when we’re treated well and this enables strong performance.
- Get it done. Do it together - When we’re doing it right we’re in the same boat, rowing at the same speed, and going in the same direction. Win or lose, we do it together. So let’s win.
- Improve continuously - Everything must get a little bit better “the next time.” We improve by experimenting, getting curious and trying new things, all the while we “measure what matters.”
- Intentionally transparent - Success here means we have the info we need to make good decisions. We’re also aware we don’t have the right to know everything, and that’s neither reasonable nor desirable.
