Sprocket Security provides continuous penetration testing services, offering a proactive approach to cybersecurity. The company's platform and expert team manage and monitor a client's comprehensive IT infrastructure, including hosts, services, domains, and web assets, to map their attack surface. By continuously identifying vulnerabilities, Sprocket helps organizations improve their overall security posture and mitigate risks before they can be exploited.
The company was founded in 2015 by Casey Cammilleri, who serves as CEO. Cammilleri's insight stemmed from a desire to evolve traditional penetration testing methods, envisioning a more dynamic and continuous process. This led to the development of tools and services designed to embed ongoing security validation into business operations rather than relying on periodic assessments.
Sprocket Security serves businesses aiming to strengthen their defenses and reduce IT risk through offensive security strategies. Their vision centers on minimizing client exposure to threats by ensuring constant vigilance against emerging vulnerabilities. The company strives to provide organizations with the assurance that their digital assets are resilient against evolving cyber threats, fostering a more secure operational environment.

Sprocket Security is a cybersecurity company that builds an expert-driven offensive security platform combining automation and human penetration testing to deliver continuous attack surface management, penetration testing, and adversary simulations. It serves organizations in sectors like manufacturing, finance, banking, insurance, and software, solving the limitations of traditional periodic pentesting by providing year-round monitoring, unlimited retests, and remediation guidance to reduce IT risk and prevent breaches.[1][2][3][4][5] The platform emphasizes measuring success by findings remediated rather than vulnerabilities discovered, with recent growth including an $8 million Series A funding round in 2025 led by Blueprint Equity to expand platform development and sales.[7]
The idea for Sprocket Security emerged in 2015 when founder Casey Cammilleri, a penetration tester, envisioned modifying traditional processes with tooling to test multiple technologies and environments simultaneously, dubbing it "Continuous Penetration Testing."[4] The company was formally founded in 2017 or 2018 in Madison, Wisconsin (with headquarters at 821 E Washington Ave), starting with a mission to secure businesses by blending automation where effective and human expertise where superior.[1][2][4] Early traction came from recognizing periodic pentesting's flaws, leading to a hybrid platform that attracted dozens of global organizations valuing its adaptive, expert-driven approach; pivotal momentum built through product evolution and culminated in the 2025 Series A raise.[1][4][7]
Sprocket rides the shift from periodic to continuous cybersecurity testing, driven by evolving threats, rapid IT changes, and shadow IT proliferation in a post-breach era where attackers operate 24/7.[1][4][5][7] Timing aligns with rising demand for hybrid solutions amid automated tools' shortcomings, as enterprises in manufacturing, finance, and software face compliance pressures and seek proactive defense.[1][2][3] Market forces like increasing breach costs and Wisconsin's burgeoning tech ecosystem favor Sprocket, which influences the space by modernizing pentesting standards, contributing to regional innovation, and enabling customers to outpace threats through expert-led platforms.[4][7]
Sprocket's $8M Series A positions it to scale its platform, deepen customer success, and expand marketing amid growing adoption of continuous security.[7] Trends like AI-augmented threats, zero-trust architectures, and regulatory mandates will amplify demand for its hybrid model, potentially evolving its influence toward enterprise dominance in offensive security. As cybersecurity spending surges, Sprocket could redefine pentesting norms, securing more businesses in an always-on threat landscape and fulfilling its vision of a safer world—building directly on its attacker-perspective roots.[4][5][7]
