Job Description

Enterprises spend fifteen billion dollars annually to set access permissions
on and protect stored data. But to secure this same data moving within cloud
applications, they spend nearly ten-times as much because APIs and application
security tools ignore those permissions. The purpose of security defenses is
to prevent unauthorized access to data, yet without those permissions they are
left to detect threats and anomalies that overwhelm incident response teams
with false positives. And now, because GenAI sends and stores data in small
chunks, data deduplication-like issues creep in to make the problem worse.

Caber is addressing this critical challenge in enterprise security with a
groundbreaking technology that protects access to data moving in APIs and
GenAI applications using the same permissions enterprises put on data in
storage systems. Because Caber can trace data lineage through APIs at the byte
level, we can offer what one prospective customer called “infinitely valuable”
capabilities that deliver a “huge time and resource savings with increased
accuracy” over existing Cloud Native Application Protection Platforms
(CNAPPs).

Enterprise security buyers are hungry for tools that can be deployed easily
and improve security. Wiz beat Lacework and Palo Alto Networks in the CNAPP
space with better management but no better security outcome. In fact, security
is getting worse. In the four years since Wiz was founded, false positive
rates per incident found increased 20%, while the number of incidents found
decreased 10%.

Caber is ready to change the game on Cloud-Native and GenAI-Native application
security. With Caber incident detection is deterministic, without false
positives, because Caber can trace the lineage of the bytes in API payloads
and authorize access to them using the permissions from the objects, files,
and database records they come from. AI-analysis of data we generate in the
process delivers meaningful insights and observability at an unprecedented
level of granularity to pinpoint mistakes, attacks, configuration issues, and
reduce incident analysis from months to minutes.
