We've recently secured over $100M in funding, and I want to be clear about why we've taken this step: we are tackling one of the biggest, most fundamental challenges in the digital world.
The math in cybersecurity is broken.
The security landscape is at a critical turning point. AI-powered attacks are operating at machine scale, while our defenses still rely primarily on human effort. This strategy is no longer effective. Adding more tools increases complexity, and more headcount leads to burnout and missed threats. We need a fundamental shift in how security operations are managed, moving beyond just faster workflows.
This is why our vision is focused on one thing: to Agentify Security Operations. This isn't just an incremental improvement; it's a transformation.
Our vision for ASOP (Agentic Security Operations Platform) is rooted in a core set of beliefs about where the industry must go:
We must build AI teammates, not just tools. The future isn't about giving security operators slightly better dashboards. It's about creating a digital workforce of specialized micro-agents that work alongside our human experts. These aren't just scripts; they are persistent team members capable of reasoning, learning, and executing complex tasks autonomously.
We must automate the task to elevate the human. The goal of AI in security should be to enhance human expertise, not replace it. By automating repetitive tasks that lead to burnout, we free security operators to focus on strategic decision-making and creative threat hunting. Let agents manage the noise while humans tackle the real challenges.
We must prefer specialized micro-agents over monolithic AI. We reject the "black box" approach. Large, generalist AI agents are often expensive, unpredictable, and brittle. Rather, teams should prioritize building focused, understandable micro-agents designed for specific security tasks. They are more efficient, more reliable, easier to test, easier to improve, and critically, more controllable.
We must demand deterministic control. Trust is non-negotiable in security. While AI agents need to reason and adapt, their actions, especially high-impact ones, must be predictable and auditable. Our platform achieves this by combining agentic reasoning with the safety of deterministic "Skills" – pre-vetted, auditable actions that function as guardrails. This allows for accountable autonomy.
We must measure success in outcomes, not alerts closed. The old metrics, like MTTR, are insufficient. The value of an Agentic Security Operations Platform lies in tangible business outcomes: measurable risk reduction, improved cost efficiency, and increased business agility because security is no longer a bottleneck.
This transformation isn't just about technology; it requires partnership. No one succeeds alone. That's why we embrace a "AI as a Service" model, providing not just the platform but the automation expertise to help our customers build, deploy, and manage a team of of AI security agents. This commitment, now backed by the stability and resources from our funding, is our promise to be a long-term partner as our customers navigate AI Transformation.
The gap between the winners and losers of this AI Transformation is widening daily. We see this firsthand as we work with leading companies from all industries to build and deploy their first AI agents. Those who embrace an agentic approach will build more resilient, efficient, and proactive security operations. Those who wait will find themselves increasingly outpaced. The future won’t wait. The time to build your digital workforce is now.
