Who we are

Protecting a business from cyber threats is a risk management problem, not a technology problem. Unlike any cybersecurity company, we share our customer’s incentives to prevent and mitigate losses.

Traditional approaches to cyber security are broken, and we’re here to fix it. We care deeply about protecting our clients—the people at Coalition have previously helped start Cloudflare, Lookout, and OpenDNS, countered adversaries in cyberspace at the NSA and CIA, and solved tough engineering problems at Google, Fin and Metromile.
