Mitiga
Cloud and SaaS-native detection and response platform founded by cloud incident responders, covering CDR, SaaS, identity, and AI agent threats.

Mitiga was built by cloud incident responders who saw a structural gap: traditional detection and response tools were designed for on-premises networks and endpoints, not for cloud and SaaS platforms like Salesforce, Microsoft 365, or Snowflake. Its platform spans Cloud Detection and Response, SaaS Detection and Response, Identity Threat Detection and Response, and a newer AI Detection and Response module for defending AI agents and non-human identities, backed by a security data lake retaining more than 1,000 days of investigation-ready telemetry.
Founded by CEO Charlie Thomas alongside co-founders Ariel Parnes and Ofer Maor, with offices in New York, London, Tel Aviv, and Singapore, Mitiga is backed by investors including SYN Ventures and has been recognized as an RSAC Innovation Sandbox finalist and a Global InfoSec Awards winner. Its zero-impact, run-alongside-existing-tools design philosophy is a practical approach to closing a real detection gap without requiring organizations to rip out existing security stacks.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
Expanded from cloud/SaaS detection into identity and AI agent threat detection ahead of much of the market.
Fills a genuine gap left by on-prem-oriented detection tools for cloud, SaaS, and AI-agent-specific attack surfaces.
RSAC Innovation Sandbox finalist status and Global InfoSec Awards recognition support credible, if not yet massive-scale, market traction.
Cloud/SaaS/identity/AI-native detection and response is a meaningfully different architecture than legacy network-and-endpoint-centric DFIR tooling.
Founding team's cloud incident-response background and industry recognition support credibility, though independent efficacy benchmarks were not found.
Cloud, SaaS, and AI agent threats will keep growing as enterprises shift more of their operations off traditional on-prem infrastructure.
Why CISOs Should Care
Closes cloud, SaaS, and AI-agent detection blind spots that legacy network/endpoint-centric tools were never designed to cover.
What Makes It Different
Built from the ground up by cloud incident responders for cloud/SaaS/AI-native attack patterns, rather than retrofitted from on-prem tooling.
The Matrix Verdict
65/100 — INCREMENTAL INNOVATOR
A credible, well-recognized cloud-native detection and response specialist addressing a real and growing gap in modern security stacks.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
Award and finalist recognitions are independently verifiable; telemetry-retention and platform-performance claims are vendor-published.
