Bootstrapped & Boutique

Making SecurityWork Better

We build cost-effective products that make security professionals more efficient, help them enjoy their work, and accelerate their learning at every step.

We're reinventing Detection Engineering with a first-of-its-kind Detection Rules Management platform that brings engineering rigor to the field—without the extra overhead.

Our Story

We're a bootstrapped boutique cybersecurity startup born from a simple belief: security tools should actually help security professionals do their jobs better, not make them harder.

Entrepreneurial Spirit

Brian has always had an entrepreneurial itch and genuinely loves building technology that serves people. EchoTrail was born from his passion for solving real problems in cybersecurity.

Strong Culture

We value hard work and respect above all else. This is a place where we truly enjoy coming to work every day, and that energy shows in everything we build.

Love for Hard Problems

We're not just building another security tool—we're tackling the complex challenges that keep security professionals up at night, and we love every minute of it.
