As the onslaught of cybersecurity threats rises and evolves, SpecterOps takes an adversary-focused approach to defend its clients against harmful attacks. Adversary-focused cybersecurity goes above and beyond defense measures to actually impose costs and threats on the attackers, acting as a deterrent for potential hacks.
The old saying “the best defense is a good offense” is relevant here, and SpecterOps, with a co-founder with a background doing similar for the US Marines, has plenty of experience deflecting cyber threats. The company’s Bloodhound software maps and removes potential attack paths and choke points and consults on how companies can improve security. Bloodhound was initially leveraged by penetration testers but has found wider adoption over the last two years, with its customer base growing by 600% in that time. Clients include Capital Group, Woodside Energy, and the University of Texas.
This proactive approach to defense has drawn in considerable investment, SpecterOps having raised two rounds of Series A in 2023 and further VC in 2024. This funding will go towards accelerating what is already a highly popular cyber defense product, whilst 2026 saw it expand its Bloodhound coverage to GitHub and Mac environments.
