Yogosha is an Offensive Security Testing Platform in the cybersecurity sector, offering services like Penetration Testing as a Service (PtaaS), bug bounty programs, vulnerability disclosure programs (VDP), and live hacking events to detect, manage, and fix critical vulnerabilities.[1][2][3][4] It serves organizations in banking, government, and other industries by connecting them with a vetted community of over 1,100 expert security researchers, enabling continuous and thorough testing of assets like web apps, networks, hardware, and firmware at scalable costs—fixed for point-in-time audits or pay-per-vulnerability for ongoing efforts.[1][3][4] With $14.91M raised (latest Series A round of $11.28M three years ago), 300+ clients across 12 countries and 6 industries, and headquarters in Paris, France, Yogosha demonstrates steady growth in addressing the shortage of skilled security talent.[1][2][3][4]
Founded in 2015 in Paris by entrepreneurs and long-time infosec enthusiasts, Yogosha emerged from a shared vision to revolutionize cybersecurity by bridging gaps between organizations, ethical hackers, CISOs, developers, and security teams.[1][2] The founders identified key frustrations—too many complex tools, time-consuming processes, and insufficient skilled personnel to hunt vulnerabilities—and built a unified platform as a "battleground" for security operations and a "command center" for vulnerability management.[2] Early traction came from this community-focused approach, evolving from a startup to a global operation with teams in France, England, Dubai, and beyond, supported by strong investors; leadership includes Yassir Kazar and Nicolas Kalmanovitz, guiding its expansion to 40 employees and worldwide clients.[2][3]
Yogosha rides the exploding demand for offensive security amid rising cyber threats, talent shortages, and regulatory pressures in sectors like finance and government, where traditional pentesting falls short on speed and scale.[1][2][4] Its timing aligns with the shift to continuous, crowd-sourced testing—industrializing PtaaS and bug bounties via platforms—capitalizing on market forces like OWASP/NIST standards and the need for hardware/firmware audits in IoT/cloud eras.[1][3] By fostering ethical hacker communities and providing actionable insights, Yogosha influences the ecosystem, helping organizations stay ahead of attackers while upskilling devs and CISOs, much like competitors Cobalt and HackerOne but with a European base and global reach.[1][2]
Yogosha is poised for expansion as AI-driven threats and zero-trust models amplify the need for proactive, scalable offense testing, potentially growing its researcher pool and service lines like Threat Intelligence.[1][2][4] Trends like regulated VDPs and hardware security will shape its path, with opportunities in emerging markets; influence may evolve through partnerships and deeper integrations, solidifying its role as a cybersecurity "hub" for a safer digital world—echoing its founding mission to simplify complex protection.[2]
Yogosha has raised $2.0M across 1 funding round. Most recently, it raised $2.0M Venture Round in January 2020.
