Adaptive Security
Adaptive Security is the security layer for the AI era, protecting organizations and their employees from modern cyberattacks. AI has changed how every company works, and how every company gets attacked. Employees use AI tools IT doesn't know about. Attackers craft deepfakes, vishing calls, and spear phishing emails that get past filters.
Adaptive addresses all of it in one unified platform: managing AI tool usage before it becomes a liability, training employees on the threats they'll actually face, simulating AI-powered attacks, and protecting the inbox and browser so threats never reach their intended targets.
Because it's one platform, Adaptive develops a complete risk picture and uses it automatically, applying targeted training, attack simulations, and policy controls to lower risk over time. More than 1,000 organizations run Adaptive to manage their human security program, having raised $150M+ from NVIDIA, Andreessen Horowitz, Bain Capital Ventures, and Citi Ventures.
