BRANDEFENSE

Based in Wilmington, Delaware, BRANDEFENSE provides a software-as-a-service platform focused on digital risk protection, external attack surface management, and actionable threat intelligence. The cybersecurity company operates with 67 employees and generates under $5 million in annual revenue, supported by $2.75 million in Pre-Series A funding. Its artificial intelligence-driven technology scans the surface, deep, and dark web to detect vulnerabilities and supply chain security risks for hundreds of midmarket and enterprise customers across the finance, energy, and telecommunications sectors. To support its ongoing expansion into the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Middle East and North Africa markets, the firm recently formed strategic partnerships with Renaissance and the Cyber Threat Alliance. Led by Chief Executive Officer Hakan Uzun, whose background includes roles at McAfee, Infoblox, and Forcepoint, BRANDEFENSE was established by co-founders Hakan Eryavuz and Mehmet Caner Koroglu.
