En un coup d’œil

AI attacks challenge older security models
The authors argue that older security models were not built for malicious agents that continuously inspect environments, combine vulnerabilities into attack paths and automate exploitation.
Lire le moment probant · Paragraphe 1
The authors question the limits of pentests and posture assessments
The authors say legacy approaches, including pentests and posture assessments, are often limited because they primarily identify theoretical risk or cannot scale. They say malicious agents can turn risk into an attack almost instantly and that a pentest is “out of date the moment it ships.”
Lire le moment probant · Paragraphe 3
The platform focuses on demonstrated exploit paths
The authors say the platform focuses on validated exploitability rather than theoretical risk and demonstrates exactly how an AI-powered attacker could infiltrate and exploit an environment. They say this helps organizations defend against attacks that AI-enabled adversaries are launching en masse.

Incident-response experience informs the team’s work
The authors say the team draws on years in enterprise security and incident response to build from first-hand knowledge of attacker operations and where existing security workflows typically fail.

Paragraphe 1

AI security paradigm shift

AI attacks challenge older security models

Extrait original

When frontier models emerged and adversaries weaponized them before defenders could react the glass shattered. Malicious agents are crawling environments at all times today, not only finding the high-severity vulnerabilities but chaining vulns of all kinds into real-world attack paths and automating exploitation. This represents a new reality that the old security model was not built for.

Contexte

Was your security stack built for this moment? Probably not. We don’t just need a new approach. We believe we need a new foundational technology.

Paragraphe 7

validated exploitability focus

The platform focuses on demonstrated exploit paths

Extrait original

By focusing on validated exploitability rather than theoretical risk, and demonstrating exactly how an AI-powered attacker could infiltrate and exploit an environment, the platform helps organizations to fortify themselves against the attacks that AI-enabled adversaries are launching en masse today.

Contexte

A Security is the platform for the modern defender. Their approach – utilizing offensive and defensive agents to continuously discover, validate, and eliminate real-world exploit paths before attackers can use them – will soon be an industry requirement in our opinion.

Paragraphe 16

founder expertise as differentiator

Incident-response experience informs the team’s work

Extrait original

The team’s unmatched experience comes from years of being “in the trenches” of enterprise security and incident response, ensuring they are building from first-hand knowledge of attacker operations and where existing security workflows typically fail.

security testing limitations

The authors question the limits of pentests and posture assessments

Extrait original

You can’t retrofit this moment. Legacy approaches – pentests and posture assessments for example – are often limited because they either primarily identify areas of theoretical risk, or because they cannot scale. But the days of theoretical risk are over. Today malicious agents can turn a risk hot-spot into a real-world attack almost instantly. That pentest is out of date the moment it ships.

Guru Chahal, Tal Morgenstern·8 juin 2026

Contexte

Defenders today need a platform that can outpace weaponized AI, finding, demonstrating, validating, and remediating exploit paths before a malicious agent can actually exploit them.
