About

Field Effect describes its cybersecurity as "intelligence-grade from day one", built by founders and analysts who came from the Five Eyes intelligence alliance, where they defended critical infrastructure against state-sponsored attacks. The company says it started from one question - how to bring elite cybersecurity tradecraft to every business - and stresses that its platform is engineered as a whole rather than assembled from acquired products.
