Our Mission

HailBytes democratizes enterprise-grade security tools by making them accessible, affordable, and cloud-native. We believe every organization, regardless of size or budget, deserves professional security testing capabilities.

"Security should be accessible to everyone, not just those who can afford enterprise pricing."

Our Story

Founded by security professionals who were frustrated with expensive commercial tools and fragmented open-source solutions, HailBytes bridges the gap between enterprise features and accessible pricing.

We started by deploying GoPhish for clients and realized the open-source community needed better cloud deployment options. That led to our AWS and Azure marketplace offerings, making enterprise security accessible in minutes.

Today, we serve thousands of security teams worldwide, from bug bounty hunters to Fortune 500 enterprises, all using our cloud-native tools to train their people and automate their reconnaissance.
