The cybersecurity sector developed a $200 billion industry by selling you issues, while no one was compensated for resolving them.

      Cybersecurity has reached new heights in its ability to identify risks. Organizations can now detect vulnerable servers, inactive user accounts, excessive permissions, exposed cloud resources, and software vulnerabilities almost in real time. This capability has been well-rewarded in the market, as global cybersecurity spending is projected to surpass the half-trillion-dollar mark, with enterprises continuing to invest in tools promising enhanced visibility into their environments.

      However, this improved visibility hasn't resulted in a decrease in breaches. According to IBM’s 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average global cost of a breach remains over $4 million, and Verizon’s 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report reveals that attackers are still exploiting common weaknesses like stolen credentials, privilege misuse, and configuration mistakes. Security teams are often aware of these risks, yet they find it challenging to mitigate them before attacks occur.

      Reclaim Security has closely monitored this gap. Instead of joining the crowded market focused on identifying more issues, the company emphasizes what follows the identification of a security problem: how organizations can effectively resolve it at scale without causing operational disruption. As enterprises rethink their expectations from security platforms, Reclaim Security believes that remediation is becoming equally important as detection.

      The industry has excelled at discovery

      For many years, cybersecurity advancements have concentrated on helping organizations address a singular question: What could go wrong? Each major category—such as vulnerability management, cloud security, identity governance, attack surface management, and exposure management—has been created to reveal another risk layer.

      This investment has resulted in unparalleled visibility. Modern security teams frequently manage numerous dashboards displaying thousands of findings across cloud environments, SaaS applications, endpoints, and identity systems. The challenge lies in the fact that discovering a problem is merely the start of the process.

      Resolving the issues typically necessitates collaboration among IT, identity, cloud, and application teams, each with differing priorities and limited resources. Consequently, organizations often find themselves with mounting remediation backlogs, even as they invest in increasingly sophisticated detection technologies.

      A business model focused on finding, not fixing

      The economics of cybersecurity have predominantly favored the discovery aspect. Vendors compete on broader coverage, richer analytics, and faster detection—metrics that are relatively straightforward to measure. In comparison, remediation is slower, operationally intensive, and frequently requires input beyond a single product.

      This imbalance has led many practitioners to describe an execution gap. Organizations may be aware of their risks but often lack the time and personnel to address them consistently.

      “Security teams no longer have a visibility issue; they have an execution issue,” stated Barak Klinghofer, co-founder and CEO of Reclaim Security. “The industry has dedicated years to refining the process of risk identification. The next challenge is aiding organizations in reducing it without introducing more manual tasks or causing unnecessary disruptions.”

      Reclaim Security’s platform embodies this philosophy. Rather than generating yet another list of alerts, it concentrates on automating business-aware remediation while keeping security teams in control of each action. The objective is not to replace administrators, but to reduce repetitive tasks that hinder organizations from promptly addressing known risks.

      A broader transformation is underway

      The focus on remediation is not exclusive to Reclaim Security. Throughout the industry, buyers are increasingly posing a different inquiry when assessing security platforms: Does this technology truly minimize our risk, or does it merely measure it?

      This shift mirrors the realities facing enterprise security teams. Identity environments are continually expanding, cloud infrastructures are becoming more intricate, and skilled security professionals remain scarce. Under such circumstances, additional dashboards often yield diminishing returns. Organizations are starting to favor technologies that bridge the gap between identifying risks and resolving them.

      Reclaim Security posits that automation will be pivotal in this transition, as long as it remains transparent and allows for human oversight. Instead of substituting security practitioners, the company views AI as a means to eliminate repetitive operational tasks, enabling experts to concentrate on higher-value decisions.

      Rethinking success metrics

      If the past decade of cybersecurity was characterized by how effectively organizations could uncover threats, the next may be distinguished by how efficiently they can eliminate them. This signifies a considerable shift in evaluating security investments.

      Identifying a thousand more vulnerabilities rarely enhances an organization’s security status by itself. What truly matters is reducing the number of unresolved risks. Companies like Reclaim Security are counting on this shift from visibility to remediation to define the next phase of cybersecurity, influencing not just the development of products but also the criteria for measuring success.
