Overview

Product Information on Balbix

Updated 2nd March 2026

What is Balbix?

The Balbix product has been absorbed into the SAFE One Platform, an AI-native SaaS platform developed by SAFE Security to measure, manage, and mitigate cyber risk across an organization's digital landscape. The platform unifies Cyber Risk Quantification (CRQ), Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), and Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) into a single data model, enabling organizations to prioritize remediation efforts and align security investments with business impact. Using autonomous agentic workflows and over 150 API integrations, SAFE One ingests real-time telemetry from existing security tools and external feeds to provide a continuous view of risk in financial terms. Aligned with industry-accepted open standards, FAIR, MITRE ATT&CK, and STIX, SAFE One helps businesses prioritize remediation efforts through actionable intelligence based on quantified business impact rather than technical severity alone.

Balbix Pricing

SAFE One utilizes a subscription-based pricing model typically structured per organization. SAFE offers different packages or tiers that are determined by factors such as the number of users, number of integrations, features included, and level of support, with pricing details available upon request or through direct engagement with the provider.

“Balbix is one of the best to assess and quantify the cybersecurity risks in real-time”

Balbix can automate the evaluation of cybersecurity risks and prevent any breach. This enables the organization to visualize the open security risks and know the ways to reduce them. I overall recommend them.

“Broken Promise: Balbix's Delayed API Delivery Disappoints”

2.0
Feb 6, 2025
Balbix provides sub par results, regularly incorrect data that has to be corrected, and refuses to be open to customer feedback or feature requests. They do not provide an API, limiting the functionality of their service to ONLY manual labor from our team. All of our other tools can be automated in some way, but due to their restrictions we are unable to automate any of the Balbix processes.

Performance of Balbix Across Market Features

Balbix Likes & Dislikes

Like

I personally like the way that Balbix can report the cybersecurity risks in real-time, quantify and convert them into a single reportable model. It automates the cybersecurity posture, prioritizes the vulnerabilities and risks and helps to reduce them.

Like

The UI is pleasant to look at.

Like

Data that is current and relevant. Dashboards that can be as granular as we need them to be. Overall picture of the vulnerabilities impacting our assets.

Dislike

While Balbix can quantify the risks, it still does not separate the industries in different tiers and score them like some other programs to better help organization with their decisions. I am sure Balbix can integrate these features in future.

Dislike

There is a complete lack of API support. There is no method to interact with Balbix that doesn't require direct user manual interaction. The level of manual effort is so extreme that even when a user attempts to generate a report or data export they have to wait sometimes almost an hour for the report to be generated then manually log back in to download the report. In discussions with Balbix, an API has been promised for years and never delivered, we have gone so far as to request a scheduled data dump to an S3 bucket which similarly went nowhere.

Dislike

Nothing

    Security visibility with no customization

    Feb 6, 2025
    It is a useful tool. However, the contract negotiations were very difficult, and the feature list is lacking. We have tried to escalate and found it difficult to get the features we think should be standard.
