Building for Proactive Cybersecurity Teams
Built by veteran security practitioners who've spent decades on the front lines. We started Mallory because defenders deserve better AI tools to power intelligent defense.
Adversaries Move at Machine Speed. Defenders Can't Afford Not To.
AI has rewritten the rules. The teams that adapt fastest will define the next era of cybersecurity.
Adversaries now weaponize vulnerabilities within hours of disclosure. AI-generated phishing campaigns scale faster than any SOC can triage manually. The window between exposure and exploitation is shrinking every quarter.
We saw this coming. Across senior roles at Google, Mandiant, Rapid7, and organizations on the front lines of cyber operations, we watched security teams drown in siloed tools while the speed of attacks accelerated around them. Talented analysts spent their time on operational grind instead of strategic defense.
Mallory exists to close the speed gap. We correlate intelligence from thousands of sources, contextualize it to your environment, and surface what needs action now. Not tomorrow. Not after a ticket queue. Now.
“Threat intel has never been more important, and it has never been noisier. Security teams spend more time assembling the picture than analyzing it. They need to go from signal to context to action—without requiring a massive intel team.”
— Jonathan Cran, Founder & CEO

“Threat intelligence was built for an era where we would be able to process information at human speed. With the introduction of agents on the adversarial side, we no longer have a data intel problem but rather a context and reasoning problem. Jonathan and the Mallory team are changing that by connecting real-time threat activity to an organization's environment and processing it for relevance at agentic speed.”— Dan Nguyen-Huu, Partner at DecibelWith participation from LiveOak Ventures and senior leaders at Google, Robinhood, Cisco, Fastly, and GreyNoise.

Deep Roots in Security Operations
Jonathan started as a penetration tester at Rapid7, joined Bugcrowd as its first US hire, and founded Intrigue, an attack surface management company acquired by Mandiant (now Google Cloud). Across 20 years and senior roles at Rapid7, Bugcrowd, Kenna Security, Mandiant, and Google, he kept running into the same problem: security teams buried in narrow tools, stitching together context by hand. He left Google in 2024 to build Mallory and fix it.
Our team brings decades of experience from the companies defining modern cybersecurity.
