In the cybersecurity realm, companies frequently simulate attacks on their systems and infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities and prepare for various attack scenarios. Sayfer, an Israeli company, has developed expert techniques for breaching financial organizations using advanced cyber tools to simulate real attack scenarios and ensure their security.
Founded in 2020 by Nir Doan, who serves as CEO, and Or Doan, Sayfer currently employs about 15 people. The company adds over 15 new clients each month from across the globe and takes pride in being profitable from day one, having never raised external capital. 'We have been operational for four years and have managed to sustain and grow solely through our earnings, without external funding,' states Nir Doan.
