Praetorian

Praetorian is an offensive cybersecurity company that provides security assessment and advisory services. The company uses an adversarial perspective to identify exploitable vulnerabilities and material risks before attackers can exploit them. Their approach involves emulating attackers to help organizations optimize and prioritize their cybersecurity investments. The company offers advanced offensive security services including penetration testing and adversarial emulation, delivered by security engineers with backgrounds in computer science and software engineering. Their team includes security researchers, open source developers, and technical specialists who conduct hands-on security assessments. Praetorian developed Chariot, a Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) platform that combines automation with engineering expertise to identify exploitable vulnerabilities and guide remediation. The platform moves beyond traditional vulnerability management to provide continuous threat exposure management capabilities, helping organizations address true exploitable risk while reducing noise. The company serves enterprise customers across technology, healthcare, automotive, retail, and financial services sectors, including organizations like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Netflix, and CVS. Praetorian's services are delivered by technical security engineers rather than traditional consultants, focusing on practical security work and measurable risk reduction.
