Nomination Highlights

PRE Security is revolutionizing the approach to cybersecurity operations with its innovative AI Native Predictive SecOps platform.

AI Native means using generative, predictive, and agentic AI to solve real world challenges and pain points that have plagued traditional SIEM and XDR SOC based architectures for years with a unique, AI first approach.

Combining generative and agentic security operations with predictive analytics results in higher efficacy, lower cost SOCs that can now also start to be more proactive in preventing attacks instead of just waiting to detect after the fact.

Founded by Paul Jespersen and John Peterson, both veterans of multiple startups and extensive cybersecurity experience, the company was founded on the question: What if we could predict attacks before they happened.

Now, with PRE Security, you can. Quit chasing alerts and start solving the problem with a proactive approach to cybersecurity.
