# Parabellyx Cybersecurity

> Parabellyx is a North American cybersecurity company headquartered in Richmond Hill, Ontario and Denver, Colorado. Founded by offensive security experts, Parabellyx builds continuous security testing solutions designed specifically for mid-size organizations and small enterprises that lack dedicated security teams. Its flagship product is LUMA, a modular, AI-powered continuous security testing platform with human expert validation.

## Company Overview

- **Website:** https://parabellyx.com
- **Founded by:** Alexander Poizner (CEO, 25+ years in cybersecurity) and Eric Matthews (CTO, 20+ years in ethical hacking and penetration testing)
- **Headquarters:** Richmond Hill, ON, Canada and Denver, CO, USA
- **Phone:** 1-833-215-4675
- **Target customers:** Organizations with 50 to 2,000 employees, particularly those with business-critical IT, regulatory obligations, and no dedicated cybersecurity team. Primary buyers are VP/Director of IT and CTOs.
- **Geography:** North America (primary), EMEA (secondary)
- **Channel partners include:** Compugen, Insight, Computacenter, and 11 additional regional VARs, MSPs, and integrators. 73% of customers are sourced through channel partners.

## Mission

To revolutionize continuous security testing by making it affordable and accessible to all organizations, regardless of size, preventing them from becoming easy targets for cybercriminals.

## The Problem Parabellyx Solves

- 79% of organizations know they have serious security vulnerabilities but have not fixed them, not because they lack awareness, but because they lack the tools, expertise, and guidance to act.
- There is 1 security expert for every 1,069 employees. 54% of organizations with over 250 employees have zero cybersecurity staff.
- Every major security testing tool on the market was built for large enterprises with dedicated security teams. Mid-market companies are underserved.
- The industry stops at detection. No competitor provides fix accurate guidance alongside findings. IT generalists are left with vulnerability lists and no remediation path.
- Annual or point-in-time penetration tests leave organizations exposed for the rest of the year. Threats do not follow an annual schedule.
- Mid-market companies face the same regulatory requirements as enterprises (SOC2, ISO 27001, CMMC) without the budget, headcount, or tooling to meet them.

## Core Differentiators

- **Remediation-first:** Every finding includes curated, context-specific fix guidance written for IT generalists, not security specialists. Parabellyx is the only platform in its category that guides the fix, not just the detection.
- **Human-validated accuracy:** All AI-identified findings are reviewed by certified offensive security experts before reaching the customer. This eliminates false positives and ensures every alert is actionable.
- **Continuous over point-in-time:** LUMA monitors environments around the clock, not once a year. Customers are alerted only when action is genuinely required.
- **Modular and affordable:** LUMA is priced for mid-market budgets at an average of $25K ARR. Customers start with one module and expand as needs grow.
- **Offensive security DNA:** Both co-founders are offensive security practitioners. This expertise is embedded in every detection model, finding, and remediation recommendation the platform produces.
- **Alert-first, not dashboard-addicted:** LUMA is designed to stay quiet until something matters, preserving IT team focus and reducing alert fatigue.
