Tracebit’s mission is to reduce the global mean time to detect and contain security incidents from months to minutes.
The growth of security risks and threats shows no sign of slowing down - that means there’s an increasing amount of work to do to protect people.
Our customers love that Tracebit enables them to detect intrusions and other malicious activity in their AWS Cloud Environments in a way that’s genuinely simple and easy to deploy and maintain, but we’re just getting started, with plans to protect much much more than just AWS!
Founded just 18 months ago, the 2 founders have built together a platform and deployed a customer base in relatively short amount of time. They’re excited to expand the team and the impact that will bring.
Andy Smith - Co-Founder & CEO
Andy has spent the last 14 years building software and software teams. Most recently he led the Engineering team at Tessian, growing it from 7 to 100 Engineers. He's always been fascinated with the trade offs and opportunities between moving quickly and maintaining security. At Tessian he put this into practice whilst protecting hundreds of terabytes of sensitive data.",
Sam Cox - Co-Founder & CTO
With over a decade of experience architecting low latency, mission critical systems that process vast volumes of data, Sam brings his deeply technical skills to the problem of cybersecurity. As Architect at Tessian Sam designed and shipped software that processed millions of emails daily. Sam's passion for security started at an early age developing memory exploits for video games.”
We’ve recently closed an undisclosed Seed round with some incredible VC backers, we’re also fortunate to be backed by an incredible group of Angels and Advisors, a few mentioned here.
Guy Podjarny
Founder of Snyk
“Tracebit is defining and building a true solution for a massive security problem - a great place to grow personally and have real impact”
Geeta Schmidt
Founder of Humio (sold to Crowdstrike)
“Andy and Sam have already forged an innovative path in a complex market and it's clear that they're just getting started. Joining Tracebit today, at the beginning represents a real opportunity to make a huge mark on the security industry!”
Stephen Whitworth
Founder of Incident.io
“Cloud intrusions are escalating at an alarming rate, and it’s only going to get worse without Tracebit. This is a great opportunity to get in early at a company with awesome founders, and seriously impressive early customers.”
Mandy Andress
CISO at Elastic
“Tracebit take a fresh and novel approach to an idea that has been well regarded by security teams for some time, addressing an increasing need for organisations at the right moment. This is a fantastic time to join an awesome team early in their journey!”
Stevie Case
CRO at Vanta
“I've been really impressed by what Sam and Andy have built with Tracebit - there are very few opportunities at early stage security companies out there like this today”
🏢 We work 5 days a week in our office near Euston (next door to Warren Streeet tube statoin and some great places to eat). At this formative time for the company we think we’ll communicate the best, get the most done and have the most fun by being in the same space together all week.
🚀 The tropes you’ve read in other startup descriptions hold true - you’ll move quickly, work with high agency, close to both the founders and customers, learn a huge amount in a short space of time and genuinely make your mark on the business.
🚅 What further sets us apart is our two technical founders who’ve been on this journey before as early employees at Tessian (which recently sold to Proofpoint), this has allowed us to lay strong foundations for accelerated growth and quickly hone in on building something innovative but valuable.
