Read full description
Praetorian serves a wide range of clients, from corporate entities to product managers and security teams. Their clients benefit from Praetorian's deep security expertise, which acts as an extension of their own teams. This allows clients to enhance their security measures without needing to build extensive in-house capabilities.
The business model of Praetorian is primarily subscription-based. Instead of offering one-time security evaluations, Praetorian provides continuous security analysis. This means they regularly test and monitor their clients' systems to identify and address vulnerabilities as they arise. This ongoing approach ensures that clients maintain a high level of security over time, rather than just at a single point.
Praetorian makes money through these subscription services, offering various security solutions such as defensive enablement, purple team exercises (which combine offensive and defensive security practices), red team operations (simulated attacks to test defenses), incident response, product security, and professional security evaluations. They also provide automated security analysis and software maturity modeling, which helps clients understand and improve the security of their software over its lifecycle.
In summary, Praetorian is a cybersecurity firm that offers continuous, in-depth security testing and analysis to a diverse range of clients, ensuring their systems remain secure over time through a subscription-based model.
