Back in 2013, after leaving the intelligence community, our founders were helping organizations respond to breaches. These were good security teams who did “all the right things”, bought the right products, had the right services, and yet they were still breached.
They knew the system was broken, so they developed a different kind of security platform and service to truly protect organizations from cyber attacks. Since then, Red Canary has been a security ally to customers of all shapes and sizes—from the most sophisticated technology and finance companies, to healthcare and small businesses. And we haven’t looked back since.
Our Origin StoryWho we are
At Red Canary, we’re using everything we’ve got—our business resources, technology, expertise, and our heart—to keep organizations focused on their mission and everything it stands for.
We are security practitioners who know the stress of defending an organization against a very human adversary. We know the typical experience of buying security products and services, the ridiculous marketing, and the broken promises.
We’re passionate about how we can play our part in making the information security community more open and inviting to new members. Our education and open source programs make the entire community a better place.

We are relentless
Our adversary is very human and relentless in their crimes. We are equally relentless in finding and stopping those adversaries. Security teams we partner with have to be ready 24×7, and we are always there alongside them.
Every time we ship code, respond to a support request, or coach our partners, we always push to go a little faster.
We always deliver quality
The cybersecurity industry is littered with products that were well loved when they were small but lost their quality as they grew. We obsess over not being one of them.
Our guiding principle is that we’ll try to grow as quickly as possible—while maintaining quality.
We are kind and authentic
Being kind is often a novelty in security and technology business. We’re changing that. We embrace our authenticity and show kindness to other Canaries, competitors, and the community.
We do what’s right for our customers
Our hypergrowth forces us to make hundreds of important decisions each day. We never stop thinking about what’s best for our customers. That always guides us to the right choices—even if those choices are more challenging.
