SafeBreach is a cybersecurity company that develops breach and attack simulation (BAS) and continuous security validation platform. It is based in Sunnyvale, California. It was founded in 2014 in Tel Aviv, Israel.
SafeBreach was founded in September 2014 by Guy Bejerano and Itzik Kotler in Tel Aviv. Prior to founding the company, Bejerano had worked as a chief information security officer and Kotler had spent time in the Israel Defense Force's technology unit as a hacker.

In November 2021, SafeBreach received $53.5 million in a Series D funding round led by Sonae IM and Israel Growth Partners (IGP).
SafeBreach has developed a platform that simulates hacker breach methods, running continuous "war games" to identify breach scenarios across network systems. The platform simulates hacker breach methods such as brute force, exploits, and malware. Using a library of hacker breach methods called the "Hacker's Playbook," SafeBreach develops potential breach scenarios specific to a client's environment and runs simulations to identify whether or not the security defenses that are in place can defend itself. There are thousands of different possible breach scenarios depending on a client's unique network setup.
