Zeron

Zeron is a Mumbai-based cyber risk posture management (CRPM) platform that aims to turn technical security exposure into business-relevant financial figures. Its proprietary QBER (Quantitative Breach and Exposure Risk) model translates exposure into monetary terms such as Annual Loss Expectancy and estimated downtime cost. The platform is organized into named modules covering external attack surface (Externo), internal risk assessment (Interno), third-party and vendor risk (Vendor Pulse), compliance mapping (Conformity), and insurer-facing risk quantification (Insure Pulse), with a generative-AI layer called ZIN providing recommendations and compliance-alignment guidance.

Founded in 2020 by Sanket Sarkar, Zeron raised a $500,000 seed round in 2023 led by fintech-focused investor Varanium Capital with participation from Yatra Angel Network, alongside earlier backing from 100X.VC, bringing disclosed total funding to roughly $650,000. The company has positioned itself as a bridge between enterprise security teams and the insurance industry, offering a version of its platform aimed specifically at underwriters assessing cyber policy risk.

As an early-stage, seed-funded startup, Zeron’s financial-quantification thesis mirrors approaches used by more established cyber risk quantification vendors internationally, and its module lineup suggests real product breadth for its stage. Independent validation of the QBER model’s accuracy and evidence of enterprise-scale deployments are still limited in publicly available sources.
