Komand, founded in 2015 by Jen Andre, emerged as a significant player in the cybersecurity sector, specifically focusing on security orchestration and automation. Andre's background as a security practitioner, having previously co-founded the security startup Threat Stack, directly informed the company's mission to alleviate the burden on security teams facing an overwhelming volume of alerts. The company's core offering was a platform designed to connect disparate security tools through a codeless interface, enabling the automation of repetitive and time-consuming tasks.
The business operated on a B2B model, targeting security operations centers (SOCs), incident response teams, and managed security service providers (MSSPs). Its primary function was to streamline security workflows by allowing users to build automated processes using a library of over 100 plugins for various security products, including those from Carbon Black, Cisco, and others. This approach allowed for the automation of tasks such as threat intelligence enrichment, malware analysis, and user provisioning without requiring deep coding expertise. Revenue was likely generated through a subscription-based or licensing model for access to the platform.
The platform's key feature was its human-friendly, codeless workflow builder that allowed security analysts to drag and drop actions to create complex automation routines. This enabled teams to build decision-based workflows that could interact with APIs from different vendors, effectively acting as a force multiplier for understaffed security departments. In a significant milestone demonstrating its value in the market, Komand was acquired by cybersecurity and compliance analytics company Rapid7 in July 2017. Following the acquisition, the Komand technology and team were integrated into Rapid7, and its platform evolved to become the foundation for Rapid7's InsightConnect product.
