About Metaphor Security
Founded by security practitioners. Built for the modern threat landscape.
Our story
Metaphor Security was founded in 2019 by a small group of incident responders who had spent years cleaning up after preventable breaches. Time after time, they saw the same patterns: missed alerts, sluggish response, and audits that prioritized paperwork over real defense.
We started Metaphor to fix that. A senior analyst on every engagement. Validated alerts only. Audit prep that actually hardens your environment. Today we defend more than 200 organizations across healthcare, finance, legal and SaaS.
Mission-first
We measure success by breaches prevented, not invoices sent.
Client partnership
Long engagements, deep context, no rotating account managers.
Engineering rigor
Validated alerts only. Reproducible findings. Quantified outcomes.
