8Layers

8Layers operates in the cybersecurity market, specializing in cloud identity security. The company provides a platform designed to protect both human and non-human cloud identities through real-time, AI-directed detections. Its core technology leverages machine learning models for User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA), which analyzes complex user behavior patterns to proactively identify potential threats. The system also incorporates dynamic risk scoring for entities and builds comprehensive identity profiles to make activity understandable.

The service is targeted at organizations with a Security Operations Center (SOC), aiming to augment their existing SIEM, EDR, and NDR solutions by processing all identity-related detections. This helps clients reduce their SIEM data load and lower the associated costs. The business model appears to be B2B, likely a subscription-based service (SaaS). Revenue is generated by providing this security layer, which helps clients prevent costly data breaches, reduce the complexity and cost of compliance audits, and assist CISOs in meeting regulatory standards like CISA and ISO27001.
