The cybersecurity sector has created a $200 billion industry by selling you problems, while no one has been compensated for resolving them.

      Cybersecurity has reached new heights in risk detection. Organizations are now able to pinpoint vulnerable servers, inactive user accounts, excessive permissions, exposed cloud resources, and software vulnerabilities almost in real time. As a result, the market has rewarded this advancement, with global cybersecurity expenditure expected to surpass the half-trillion-dollar mark as companies continue to invest in tools that offer increased visibility into their surroundings.

      However, enhanced visibility has not led to a reduction in breaches. According to IBM’s 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average cost of a breach remains over $4 million globally. Similarly, Verizon’s 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report indicates that attackers are still exploiting well-known vulnerabilities such as stolen credentials, privilege misuse, and configuration mistakes. Security teams are typically aware of these risks; they simply find it challenging to mitigate them proactively before attacks occur.

      Reclaim Security has been closely observing this disconnect. Instead of joining the crowded market focused on identifying more issues, the company aims to address what occurs after a security problem is identified: how organizations can effectively remediate these issues at scale without disrupting operations. As companies reconsider their expectations from security platforms, Reclaim Security believes that remediation is becoming as crucial as detection.

      The industry has excelled in risk discovery. For years, cybersecurity innovations have revolved around helping organizations answer a crucial question: What could go wrong? Each major category, including vulnerability management, cloud security, identity governance, attack surface management, and exposure management, has been designed to reveal additional layers of risk.

      That financial investment has led to unmatched levels of visibility. Today, security teams often manage numerous dashboards showcasing thousands of findings across cloud environments, SaaS applications, endpoints, and identity systems. However, discovering a problem is merely the first step in the process.

      Addressing these issues typically requires coordination among IT, identity, cloud, and application teams, each with their own priorities and limited resources. Consequently, organizations often find themselves facing increasing remediation backlogs, even while pouring resources into more advanced detection technologies.

      The business model has been geared towards discovery rather than remediation. Vendors compete on comprehensive coverage, enhanced analytics, and quicker detection, as these attributes are relatively easy to quantify. In contrast, remediation tends to be slower, more operational, and often transcends the scope of a single product.

      This disparity has resulted in what many in the field refer to as an execution gap. While organizations are aware of many risks, they frequently lack the time and staffing to address them effectively.

      “Security teams no longer have a visibility issue; they have an execution problem,” remarked Barak Klinghofer, co-founder and CEO of Reclaim Security. “The industry has dedicated years to perfecting risk identification. The next challenge lies in assisting organizations to mitigate that risk without adding more manual tasks or causing unnecessary disruption.”

      Reclaim Security’s platform embodies this philosophy. Rather than creating another list of alerts, it prioritizes automating business-aware remediation while ensuring that security teams retain control over all actions. The aim is not to substitute administrators but to eliminate repetitive tasks that hinder organizations from swiftly addressing known risks.

      A broader transformation is underway. The focus on remediation is not exclusive to Reclaim Security. Across the industry, customers are increasingly posing a new question when assessing security platforms: Does this technology genuinely reduce our risk, or merely measure it?

      This shift reflects the realities that enterprise security teams face. Identity environments continue to expand, cloud infrastructures become more intricate, and there is a persistent shortage of experienced security professionals. Under these circumstances, an additional dashboard often yields diminishing returns. Organizations are starting to favor technologies that help bridge the gap between identifying a risk and resolving it.

      Reclaim Security asserts that automation will play a pivotal role in this transition, provided it remains transparent and allows for human oversight. The company envisions AI not as a replacement for security practitioners but as a means to eliminate repetitive operational tasks so experts can concentrate on more critical decisions.

      A different approach to measuring success is developing. If the previous decade of cybersecurity was characterized by organizations' ability to uncover threats, the coming era may be defined by their efficiency in eliminating them. This marks a significant change in how security investments are assessed.

      Uncovering yet another thousand vulnerabilities does little to improve an organization’s security standing by itself; rather, reducing the number of unresolved risks has a greater impact. Companies like Reclaim Security are betting that this shift from visibility to remediation will define the future of cybersecurity, influencing not only product development but also redefining success metrics.
