Brand Story

The story of how Signal Sciences came to be helps people understand where we came from and the journey we're on. As advocates of our users, we want to also tell the story of their attitudes, beliefs, and state of mind focusing primarily on their emotions.

Our Story

We know how important security is, but also know how emotionally draining it can be because we’ve been there. We started as security practitioners at Etsy where software moved fast while legacy security products slowed everyone down. We built our own technology for security problems that had no solutions and recognized the opportunity to help prevent others from experiencing the frustrations we went through.

We took what we learned at Etsy and founded Signal Sciences because we care about the people behind security. Our different approach to web application protection is based on making security simple, accessible, and honest. Above all, we strive to be partners––not vendors.

Our Users

Our users are smart, resourceful people skilled at navigating the stressful world of security. Fighting an endless stream of web attackers can feel thankless and they often don’t get the recognition they deserve. Against tough odds, our users still thrive on finding solutions to complex problems and take pride in being in the trenches to protect people from web abuse. We know they’re heroes even if they don’t.
