Flow Security

Flow Security is a data security company that has developed a platform combining Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) with real-time detection and response capabilities. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, the company was established by CEO Jonathan Roizin and CTO Rom Ashkenazi, both veterans of elite Israeli intelligence units and the cybersecurity industry. Flow Security's core mission is to provide organizations with comprehensive visibility and control over their data, addressing security for data both at rest and in motion. The platform is designed to operate across diverse environments, including cloud, on-premise, and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications, enabling security teams to manage their entire data landscape effectively.

The company's technology distinguishes itself through its runtime-first approach, utilizing eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) for deep analysis of data flows without impacting performance. This allows the platform to automatically discover and classify all data, including shadow data stores and APIs, providing a complete lifecycle context of its origin, flow, and ownership. By continuously mapping data flows and detecting risks, Flow Security helps organizations enforce security policies, automate threat modeling, and remediate vulnerabilities efficiently. In March 2024, Flow Security was acquired by CrowdStrike, a global leader in cloud-native cybersecurity. The acquisition aims to integrate Flow Security's DSPM capabilities into the CrowdStrike Falcon XDR platform, creating a comprehensive solution to protect data from code to application, device, and cloud, thereby setting a new standard for modern data protection.
