Bloom Security offers a platform that surfaces every tool, browser extension, agent, and code package running on an endpoint and provides contextual analysis of how each interacts with data and systems. The platform assesses supply-chain risk and configurations to measure exposure and enables teams to block risky installs, enforce secure configurations, and remediate risks without manual approval workflows. The company says its product addresses gaps in traditional endpoint detection and response solutions that were built for malware rather than modern, agentic software ecosystems. Bloom is already deployed at dozens of large enterprises across the United States and Europe and employs roughly 30 people. Its founding team previously held engineering and research leadership roles at Palo Alto Networks, Dig Security, and Demisto.
