Oneleet raises $33M to shake up the world of security compliance | TechCrunch

"Bryan Onel's father was a locksmith. As for Onel, he described himself as the digital equivalent. Ethical hacking was Onel's hobby growing up. He studied AI at university and then turned that hacking hobby into a profession. "I spent a decade performing penetration tests for over 150 companies across all sectors," Onel tells TechCrunch, adding that he kept easily breaking into companies that had passed their security checks."

"Onel realized that security often fell within two brackets: Painful but effective, or painless but ineffective, he said. Most companies were doing the bare minimum in cybersecurity and compliance, as it often takes too much work - and tools and talent - to provide effective security defenses. Onel's clients kept asking if he could provide a solution to their problems, so he gave it a shot."

"Oneleet is different, said Onel. The platform includes a suite of security tools: penetrating testing, code scanning, cloud data security, attack surface management, security training, and more, he said, which aims to provide a better window into a company's security defenses. "Because it's integrated from the ground up, we can deploy comprehensive security with the click of a button," Onel continued. "That saves clients hundreds of hours and eliminates the blind spots that come from managing fragmented tools.""

Bryan Onel grew up practicing ethical hacking, studied AI, and spent a decade performing penetration tests for over 150 companies, often breaching organizations that had passed security checks. He observed that security typically falls into two categories: painful but effective, or painless but ineffective, with many companies doing the bare minimum due to resource and talent constraints. In 2022, Onel co-founded Oneleet with his wife, Ora, and friend Erik Vogelzang to offer an all-in-one security compliance platform. Oneleet integrates penetration testing, code scanning, cloud data security, attack surface management, and security training to reduce blind spots and speed deployment.
