Security Researcher

We are

48% of breaches now come through vendors. Yet most companies still manage vendor risk through certifications and questionnaires, essentially trusting what vendors say about their security. Lema changes that. We analyze every vendor like a vulnerability researcher would: how could an attacker use this vendor to get in, and what could they reach?

We’re turning vendor risk from a paperwork exercise into a true security discipline. Backed by Team8, Salesforce Ventures, and F2, and already trusted by leading enterprises, Lema is entering hypergrowth and tripling our team to build a category-defining platform.

We move fast, with radical ownership, transparency, and high impact.
