FireCompass Strategically Boosted by EC-Council Investment of over $20 Million, Aiming to Amplify AI-Driven Offensive Security Capabilities

In a significant move to strengthen its global services and bolster its position in the cybersecurity industry, EC-Council has announced a $20 million investment in FireCompass, an AI-powered Offensive Security Platform.

FireCompass, with its headquarters at www.firecompass.com, offers a comprehensive solution that integrates six key capabilities: Attack Surface Management, CTEM, Network and Application Pen Testing, Red Teaming, PTaaS. The platform's Agentic AI provides a promising solution to an otherwise unsolved problem in cybersecurity, delivering immediate value in high-stakes environments by validating exposure within 24 hours of CVE disclosure.

The investment will accelerate FireCompass's innovation and global expansion, with the aim of expanding into critical sectors such as finance, healthcare, telecom, and government. EC-Council, with its extensive network of partners, alumni, and enterprise research programs, will mobilize its resources to support FireCompass in this endeavour.

EC-Council's investment is part of its $100 million Cybersecurity Innovation Commitment, a testament to its ongoing commitment to driving innovation in the cybersecurity industry.

FireCompass's Agentic AI foundation enables real-world adversary emulation with near-zero false positives, a feature that has caught the attention of cybersecurity experts like Bruce Schneier, an advisor to FireCompass. Schneier recognizes the platform's potential in tackling cybersecurity challenges by matching the speed and persistence of attackers.

FireCompass has already made significant strides, having uncovered over 2.5 million real attack paths and exploitable vulnerabilities. The platform aligns multi-stage attack emulations to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, providing a robust and comprehensive cybersecurity solution.

EC-Council, the creator of the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) program, is a leader in cybersecurity education, offering over 200 certifications and degrees in various cybersecurity domains. The company has certified over 350,000 professionals worldwide, with clients ranging from government agencies to Fortune 100 companies. EC-Council is accredited by ISO/IEC 17024 and is trusted by the U.S. Department of Defense, the Army, Navy, Air Force, and leading global corporations.

With this investment, EC-Council's offerings like Automated Pen Testing, Red Teaming, and CTEM will be strengthened by the integration of FireCompass's Agentic AI. FireCompass is trusted by Fortune 500 companies, defense agencies, MSSPs, and is operating in more than 40 countries. The investment is expected to further enhance this trust and expand FireCompass's global footprint.

The available search results do not mention any companies that have been supported by EC-Council through investments in recent months, making this investment a significant step in EC-Council's strategic growth plan. FireCompass secures digital landscapes at machine speed, as recognized by Gartner, Forrester, IDC, and RSAC, making it a valuable addition to EC-Council's portfolio.
