Wirespeed

Wirespeed developed an automated Managed Detection and Response (MDR) platform delivered as a SaaS solution. The company was founded by cybersecurity professionals with experience in offensive security, penetration testing, and building security operations centers at organizations ranging from startups to Fortune 1 companies. The platform was designed using an attacker's mindset, incorporating knowledge from red teaming, malware development, and adversary simulation. The company's approach combined automated detection and response capabilities with the expertise gained from both offensive and defensive security operations. The founders brought experience from NetSPI, a penetration testing firm, and Fishtech Group/Cyderes, an MDR provider, as well as red team leadership at Walmart. Wirespeed was acquired by Coalition, a cyber insurance and security company, to enhance cybersecurity capabilities for Coalition's customer base. The acquisition integrated Wirespeed's automated MDR technology into Coalition's broader cybersecurity offerings. The company was backed by investors with backgrounds in cybersecurity companies including FishNet Security, FireMon, NetSPI, and WhiteHat Security.
