About Us
The future of cybersecurity is data-driven.
Introducing Empirical
We’re building a new kind of security platform—driven by modern AI, grounded in real-world telemetry, and designed to make decisions, not just generate alerts. Our first product reimagines Vulnerability Management. It’s early, but the results speak for themselves: less noise, more signal, and radically better prioritization.
