BreachBits

BreachBits is a venture-backed cybersecurity company founded in 2018 and headquartered in the Washington, D.C. area. The company was founded by two former U.S. Naval Officers with backgrounds in military intelligence, who developed an AI-driven platform to simulate offensive cyber attacks and translate the results into actionable risk management insights. The core offering centers on automated, continuous offensive security testing using AI bots designed to replicate attacker behavior — identifying vulnerabilities and viable attack paths before malicious actors can exploit them. Since emerging from R&D in 2020, the company reports conducting over 4 million offensive security tests and identifying over 87,000 viable attack paths across customers in 8 countries. BreachBits positions its platform around cyber risk ratings and predictive intelligence, targeting both technical and non-technical stakeholders. The platform is designed to translate raw security testing data into risk management language accessible to business leaders. Use cases span cyber risk ratings and cyber insurance applications. The company serves customers across the public and private sectors and has operations spanning the U.S., Canada, and EMEA regions. Investors include Old Line Capital Partners, Blu Venture Investors, Bluewing VC, Stellar VC, and Lloyd's of London. BreachBits has been recognized by DCA Live as a Red Hot Cyber company in 2023, among companies addressing cybersecurity challenges for the federal government and private sector.
