FireShield exists because the industry made "being secure" mean "buying more dashboards." We think it should mean one thing: knowing, with evidence, that the doors are closed.
OUR STORY
FireShield was started by people who spent years on the testing side of security — hired to break into companies, legally, so those companies could fix what was found. Year after year, the same pattern: businesses drowning in alerts while the actual way in sat unnoticed, too boring for any scanner to score highly.
"The route in was never the scary-sounding vulnerability. It was three dull little things nobody connected."
So we built CloudShark — an engine that connects those dull little things automatically, proves which chains are real, and does it continuously instead of once a year. Then we wrapped it in a product a non-security person can actually read. That product is FireShield.
Today FireShield tests companies from fifty people to fifty thousand, and the goal hasn't moved an inch: replace fear with evidence.

HOW WE WORK
Four rules we don't bend.
01 / PROOF OVER PANIC
We never sell fear
You'll never get a scary chart designed to upsell you. You get what we proved, what it means, and what to do — nothing more.
02 / DO NO HARM
Live systems stay live
Every technique we automate is production-safe by design. Breaking your business to test it would defeat the entire point.
03 / CLEAR THINKING
If leadership can't read it, we rewrite it
A finding that only a specialist can understand is a finding that won't get fixed. Clarity is a feature, not a nicety.
04 / FINISH THE JOB
Fixed means re-tested
We don't consider anything closed until we've gone back and confirmed it. A report isn't the product — a closed door is.
THE TEAM
Built by people who've been on the inside.
Everyone here has done offensive security work. We know what defenders miss because we were the ones getting through.

Dmitri Vaskov
Co-founder & CEO
Former red team lead at a Big 4 practice. Spent twelve years breaking enterprise networks before deciding the report at the end wasn't the right product.
KO
Kirra Osei
Co-founder & CTO
Built static-analysis tooling at a major cloud provider before directing the CloudShark engine. Holds three CVEs. Doesn't like dashboards that don't tell you what to fix.

Matteo Ferrara
Head of Research
Eight years in network intrusion before joining FireShield. Specialises in connecting dull findings into high-impact chains — the ones automated scanners walk past.

Sonja Holm
Head of Customer Success
Previously ran security operations for a FTSE-250 financial group. Bridges the gap between red teams and boards so findings actually get closed.
ECOSYSTEM
In good company.
