Investing in the future of cybersecurity with Safe Security

In this episode of Avataar Dialogues, Nishant Rao, Founding Partner at Avataar, sat down with Saket Modi, Co-Founder and CEO of Safe Security, to discuss Safe’s journey, market impact, and why Avataar chose to back the company.

Cybersecurity is at an inflection point. As enterprises face an increasingly complex digital threat landscape, one thing is clear: organizations cannot manage what they cannot measure. That’s where Safe Security comes in, redefining how cyber risk is quantified, measured, and managed.

In a recent Avataar Dialogues conversation, Nishant Rao, Founding Partner at Avataar, sat down with Saket Modi, Co-Founder and CEO of Safe Security, to discuss Safe’s journey, market impact, and why Avataar chose to back the company.

“As we looked and scanned the market, Safe stood out as the leader in cyber risk quantification. We are thrilled to welcome you on board,” Nishant shared. Saket echoed this sentiment, adding, “It’s been a blast working with Avataar. It feels like you’ve been thinking the same way we have for years.”

At the core of Safe’s mission is a belief that cybersecurity must evolve from being purely technical to becoming a boardroom priority. As Saket put it, “Securing technology is no longer about having a checklist of tools, it’s about measuring and managing cyber risk in business terms. You cannot manage what you cannot measure.”

Safe Security’s AI-powered platform enables enterprises to quantify cyber risks in real time, across people, processes, technology, and third-party vendors. This transforms cybersecurity from a static, point-in-time exercise into a dynamic, always-on system of risk visibility and actionable recommendations.

The impact has been significant. Today, more than 15% of the global cyber insurance market is underwritten based on Safe’s data and models, and the company counts several Fortune 500 enterprises among its customers. Recognized by Forrester, Gartner, and multiple innovation awards, Safe is setting new standards for how organizations approach digital risk.

What sets Safe apart is not just its product, but also its leadership. Saket is a hands-on CEO, deeply involved in both the technology and the customer journey. “I love getting my hands dirty,” he admitted. “That’s what keeps me grounded in how our platform is solving real-world problems.”

For Avataar, partnering with such founders is key. As Nishant noted, “Avataar lives the operating VC mindset, and that works best with hands-on leaders like Saket.”

With Safe Security pioneering cyber risk quantification at scale, and Avataar backing its global expansion, the future of enterprise cybersecurity is being redefined, turning uncertainty into measurable, manageable, and actionable insights.
