About Teleskope

Teleskope is the only data security platform that automatically resolves data exposure. Powered by its Data Reasoning Layer that understands business context, Teleskope continuously discovers and classifies risky data, determines the appropriate action, and enforces it natively across on-prem, cloud, SaaS, and AI environments, without manual triage or external tools. Unlike DSPM tools that surface findings and stop there, Teleskope closes the loop between detection and resolution. Customers include Ramp, Petco, Dayforce and Notion.

In this agentic era, data risk has quickly become the most widespread, exploitable and urgent challenge faced by enterprises. Teleskope’s unique ability to resolve data risk as it arises positions us as a critical partner to the world’s largest enterprises, helping them to protect their most valuable assets while safely adopting AI.

The market is catching on, and Teleskope is growing like crazy. This is an opportunity to own a critical territory, selling a one-of-a-kind product that sits at the intersection of Data Security and AI Security.
