Investing in Safe Security, the Control Tower for Cyber Risk
Cybersecurity is no longer a perimeter problem; instead, it’s a prioritization race. With threats moving faster than ever, the winners are not just those who see everything, but those who act on what matters most and act the fastest. In today’s alert-saturated world, smart decisions beat sheer detection.
What are our most critical cyber risks? Which controls reduce the most exposure? How vulnerable are we through third parties?
Most enterprises still rely on fragmented tools and infrequent audits (quarterly at best) to answer these questions. This leaves cyber risk poorly aligned with how organisations actually make decisions.
Safe Security is changing that by building the modern system of record for cyber risk. Its platform ingests telemetry across endpoints, identity systems, cloud infrastructure, and vendors, then applies AI and financial modeling to generate a real-time, quantified view of exposure that is relevant for both cyber and business teams. In doing so, it translates cybersecurity into the language of business.
This shift comes as the industry faces mounting rapid structural change. Regulation is no longer optional. In the U.S., public companies must now disclose material cyber incidents within four days. Europe’s DORA framework is raising expectations for operational risk oversight. In India, CERT-In has mandated annual cybersecurity audits for all third-party digital service providers. CISOs are now personally accountable, and boards are demanding defensible, real-time insights into risk.
AI has also tilted the playing field and has given attackers unprecedented speed, scale, and sophistication. Phishing, exploits, and deepfakes are now automated. As threats accelerate, boards need real-time answers to what’s fixed, what still matters, and what’s financially at risk.
These pressures are forcing enterprises to move from static audits to dynamic, data-driven approaches. That is where Safe’s architecture shines. Its value compounds with each integration and customer. Every new telemetry stream improves its risk models, unlocking more use cases and embedding the platform more deeply into enterprise workflows. As companies mature their control environments, Safe’s AI agents AI agents that start as copilots but graduate to owning decisions.SAFE’s Platform ArchitectureSAFE’s Platform Architecture
Safe is part of a broader wave of enterprise platforms that are not just reporting risks but reasoning through them. These companies combine real-time data, probabilistic models, and agentic workflows to automate complex decisions across security, finance, compliance, and beyond. Whether it is quantifying cyber risk, surfacing ESG anomalies, or resolving KYC alerts, we believe the next generation of vertical software platforms will operate less like dashboards and more like decision engines. If you are building something where structured data, unstructured context, and domain-specific judgment come together to drive action, we would love to hear from you.
This brings our India portfolio to 24 (list here) and Safe Security joins our other software businesses in the India portfolio (Lentra, Rezolve AI, Healthplix). We are particularly excited about a new class of vertical AI platforms that move beyond dashboards and copilots. Platforms that embed into workflows, reason over structured and unstructured data, and automate decisions across domains. If you are building in a space where AI agents replace repetitive judgment work and drive measurable outcomes, we’d love to connect.
