Batuta

Batuta is a cybersecurity company that develops an Endpoint Security Posture Management (ESPM) platform designed to provide visibility, control, and response capabilities across organizational endpoints. The platform is built around the concept of endpoint intelligence, aiming to help security teams move from reactive incident handling to proactive, resilient security operations. The platform addresses fragmentation and complexity in endpoint management by centralizing visibility and control. This approach is intended to support compliance, data protection, and business continuity objectives for organizations. Batuta was founded by Mauricio Benavides (CEO) and Louise Ireland (President), both of whom have over a decade of experience in cybersecurity and incident response, primarily across Latin America. The company was created after the founders identified gaps in existing tooling for managing and responding to endpoint threats. The company is backed by SYN Ventures and GBM, and its board and advisory network includes notable cybersecurity figures such as John Watters (former COO & President of Mandiant), Robert Rodriguez (Chairman and Founder of SINET), Ryan Permeh (Operating Partner at SYN Ventures), Matt Devost (CEO & Co-Founder of OODA LLC), and Spyridon Michalakis (Mathematical Physicist at Caltech). Batuta targets organizations seeking to consolidate endpoint security management, reduce operational complexity, and establish a reliable foundation for broader security and compliance programs.
