Zafran is the AI-native exposure management platform that helps security teams proactively stop vulnerability exploitation everywhere. Ranked #1 for Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), Zafran de-risks 90% of critical vulnerabilities overnight across hybrid environments by leveraging agentic AI and existing security controls. The platform cuts through noise to reveal the 1-2% of vulnerabilities that are truly exploitable, enabling teams to focus their efforts on what matters most rather than drowning in manual toil. Trusted by Fortune 500 companies including Kraft Heinz, Chipotle, Netskope, and Lumen Technologies, Zafran transforms vulnerability management from a reactive burden into a proactive defense. Backed by Sequoia Capital and Cyberstarts with over $60 million in funding, Zafran addresses a critical market gap where more than half of vulnerabilities are exploited within just seven days of public disclosure. The company's founders bring over 70 years of collective expertise in offensive and defensive cybersecurity, having investigated breaches at organizations like Mandiant. Zafran's platform mobilizes existing security tools - EDR, firewalls, and cloud controls - to determine whether vulnerabilities are truly exploitable and automatically mitigates them during critical exploitation windows.
