PRE Security

PRE Security is a cybersecurity company based in San Jose, California, focused on delivering an AI-native approach to Security Operations (SecOps). The company positions its platform as a replacement for traditional SIEM and XDR-SOC solutions, which it characterizes as rule-based, hard-coded, and manually driven systems with inherent limitations in the context of AI-powered threats. The core premise of PRE Security's platform is a shift from reactive security operations — the traditional "Detect & Respond" model — to a proactive model the company calls "Predict & Prevent." This is underpinned by the use of generative and predictive AI technologies, designed to anticipate and stop threats before they cause harm rather than responding after the fact. PRE Security differentiates itself from other AI-augmented security tools by asserting that many existing solutions are bolt-on additions to fundamentally flawed legacy architectures. Their approach is described as AI-native from the ground up, rather than AI-enhanced retrofits. The company targets organizations seeking to modernize their security operations infrastructure and is led by co-CEOs Paul Jespersen and John "JP" Peterson, the latter being a US Marine Corps veteran. The leadership team includes executives overseeing product, engineering, DevOps, customer experience, sales engineering, and regional sales across the US, EMEA, and APAC markets, indicating a global commercial footprint.
