Our take
In an era marked by economic uncertainty, cyber security budgets are under strain - with many organizations facing the challenge of achieving optimal security with limited resources. Reach Security offers a solution that streamlines cyber security operations by maximizing the utility of existing tools rather than adding new layers to the security stack.
Reach's platform works as a connective tissue within a company's IT and security infrastructure, harnessing data from existing tools to identify and mitigate threats effectively. This approach not only enhances operational efficiency but also enables faster threat detection and response, crucial in today's rapidly evolving threat landscape.
Despite the challenges in the cyber security space, Reach has attracted significant investor interest, securing funding led by Ballistic Ventures. This investment has helped the company expand its operations (including the introduction of MastermindAI™) as well as its business reach.
