Redacted offers a cloud-native security platform that applies threat intelligence and active pursuit to identify attackers, recover data loss, and disrupt malicious operations. Rather than focusing solely on breach prevention, its tools emphasize damage mitigation, tracking attacker patterns, and, where possible, locating actors to enable law-enforcement action. The company builds some proprietary technology and leverages third-party tooling (the article notes a relationship with forensics provider Cado) to analyze attacks at scale. Its target customers are smaller, mid-sized, and larger corporates that lack the capacity to build similar capabilities internally. The team is led by Max Kelly (formerly Facebook CSO, NSA, and U.S. Cyber Command) and co-founder John Hering (founder and CEO of Lookout), and the startup highlights deep collective experience across major tech firms and intelligence/military agencies. Redacted styles its name as “[redacted]” and is positioning to expand commercial operations with new funding.
