About Zip Security

Enterprise cybersecurity is broken. Current annual cybersecurity spending is roughly $150B; most enterprises deploy, manage, and configure hundreds of disparate tools for marginal benefit. Zip Security builds software that makes enterprise cybersecurity reasonable by bundling and configuring opinionated security tooling under one central pane of glass.
