Our take

Cybersecurity threat is one of the largest challenges businesses today face, tackled by a variety of threat recognition and detection software platforms. However, cyber threats are time-sensitive, and whilst software solutions can analyze evidence to identify and prevent a threat, the time-consuming nature of evidence-gathering workflows can mean solutions arrive too late.

Stairwell provides a threat detection and cybersecurity platform that focuses on treating all files as suspicious, pre-preserving all information within a cybersecurity environment as evidence to provide a comprehensive history of cybersecurity health. This platform uses this data to reveal past intrusions, provide an all-in-one cybersecurity dashboard, personalize security stacks, and rapidly reduce threat detection time.

Whilst the company faces significant competition within the saturated cybersecurity market, it stands out with its ability to preserve all activity and information. Through this method, the company can ensure that the insights produced are comprehensive, contextual, and bespoke. Stairwell has seen consistent funding over the years, testament to the success of its offering. Investment acquired in 2022 will fund team expansion, including the hiring of specialized engineers to increase functionality.
