Bishop Fox provides the Cosmos platform to continuously monitor and secure dynamic enterprise attack surfaces. Cosmos combines automation and expert-driven testing to identify vulnerable applications, APIs and other internet-facing IT assets. The company emphasizes prevention rather than reaction and enables automated application penetration tests to assess security against attacker techniques. A key differentiator is real-time access to live testers, which Bishop Fox says yields actionable findings, impact analysis and specific remediation guidance versus generic reports. The vulnerability management market is projected to reach $2.5 billion by 2025, and the company competes with firms such as CyCognito and Randori (the latter was acquired by IBM earlier this year). Bishop Fox announced $46 million in growth funding from WestCap, bringing its total Series B funding to $129 million and lifetime funding to $154 million. Bishop Fox is an offensive security firm that offers continuous penetration testing, red teaming, attack surface management, and product, cloud, and application security assessments. The company also operates educational programs, including Bishop Fox Academy, with curricula developed in partnership with universities and mentoring resources. Bishop Fox has developed the Cosmos platform and plans to accelerate its expansion using newly raised funds. The company intends to use the Series B proceeds to grow its team of offensive security experts and scale its platform. Financially, Bishop Fox raised $75M in a Series B round, bringing total funding to $100M. Its solutions are used by thousands of customers, including Google, Equifax, John Deere, Sonos, and Zoom. Bishop Fox is a private professional services company focused on offensive security testing, offering penetration tests and security assessments for products, applications, networks, and cloud environments.
