About Andesite:
Cybersecurity analysts are drowning in an increasingly data-dense security environment. Teams are overburdened. The industry faces a dire talent shortage that threatens the resilience of both government and commercial organizations.
Andesite is building the next generation cybersecurity analyst experience. Our mission is to supercharge the analysts protecting our country’s networks. When analysts work in our advanced AI security analytics platform, they can analyze decentralized data sets at scale and more quickly respond to threats. They become better and smarter, just by doing the things they’re already built to do.
We have deep experience with this problem. Our team is born out of the security community and comes from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences including the CIA, NSA, military, big tech, and start ups.
After raising a $15M seed round from top-tier investors General Catalyst and Red Cell Partners, we are rapidly scaling. As we remain hyper focused on our growth path and our accelerated move to market, we believe having the right teammates in Andesite Nation will be the reason we win.
