Securin
Albuquerque vulnerability-intelligence firm, formerly Cyber Security Works, now selling an AI-native platform to help security teams find and prioritize the exploitable risks that matter most.

Securin is an Albuquerque, New Mexico-based company that evolved from Cyber Security Works, a vulnerability research firm founded in 2008 that built a reputation producing widely cited ransomware and CVE research. The company rebranded as Securin around 2022–2023 and now sells a “Preemptive Exposure Management Platform” that combines vulnerability intelligence, attack surface management, and risk prioritization in a single view, led by CEO Dr. Srinivas Mukkamala alongside co-founders Ram Movva and Kiran Chinnagangannagari.
The platform is built to help security teams move past raw CVSS scores toward prioritization based on real-world exploitability, asset criticality, and threat intelligence context — the same “which vulnerabilities actually matter” problem that has driven a wave of AI-powered vulnerability-prioritization startups into the market over the past two years. Securin is listed on AWS Marketplace and runs an active partner program.
What differentiates Securin from newer entrants in this space is its research pedigree: its long operating history as a vulnerability-research shop gives it a continuous feed of original CVE and exploit analysis to draw on, rather than relying solely on third-party threat feeds the way many younger AI-native competitors do.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
Securin has evolved its platform from CVE/ransomware research toward an AI-native 'Preemptive Exposure Management' product, a meaningful but incremental repositioning rather than a sudden leap.
Consolidating vulnerability intelligence, attack surface visibility, and prioritization into one workflow directly reduces the tool-switching burden vulnerability management teams typically face.
An active AWS Marketplace listing and partner program show real go-to-market activity, but no recent funding round, analyst placement, or named enterprise customer was found in this research.
Exploitability-based prioritization is a genuine improvement over raw CVSS scoring, but Securin is one of several vendors, including newer AI-native entrants, converging on the same approach.
The company's long-running CVE and ransomware vulnerability research has been independently cited in security press over the years, giving it more demonstrated research credibility than most peers of similar size.
Exploitability-focused vulnerability prioritization is a durable, growing CISO priority as the volume of disclosed CVEs continues to outpace remediation capacity.
Why CISOs Should Care
Gives vulnerability management teams a single platform that ties exposure discovery to real-world exploitability data, rather than forcing them to stitch together scanners, feeds, and spreadsheets.
What Makes It Different
Backed by its own long-running CVE and ransomware vulnerability research arm rather than purely third-party threat intelligence feeds.
The Matrix Verdict
60/100 — INCREMENTAL INNOVATOR
Securin is an Incremental Innovator: a credible, research-backed exposure management platform with real go-to-market presence, but without independently verified funding, analyst recognition, or named customer wins that would justify a higher tier.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
Securin's research history and rebrand from Cyber Security Works are corroborated across multiple independent profiles; specific platform performance, customer counts, and employee-size figures are drawn from aggregator estimates and not independently confirmed.
