Why was RunSafe Security founded, and what inspired its creation?

Hear from RunSafe Security’s CEO Joe Saunders as he explains the motivation behind founding the company—and how RunSafe is changing the cybersecurity equation for good.

Why RunSafe Security Was Founded—and the Economic Principle That Inspired It

In this video, RunSafe Security Founder and CEO Joe Saunders shares the origin story behind the company—and why he and co-founder Doug Britton set out to rethink cybersecurity from the ground up.

Frustrated by the reactive, never-ending cycle of vulnerability patching, Joe and Doug were driven by a shared belief: defenders need a smarter, more proactive way to secure systems. Rather than simply fixing vulnerabilities after the fact, they aimed to eliminate entire classes of exploits altogether—fundamentally changing the economics of cyber defense.

By removing the attackers’ advantage of needing to find only a single flaw to succeed, RunSafe empowers developers and organizations to build in protection that lasts. If you’re looking for a cybersecurity approach rooted in efficiency, adaptability, and defense-forward thinking, this is a story worth hearing.
