Amplifier Security is an AI-native workforce security company that turns the noisy gap between finding and fixing security problems into an automated, employee-friendly workflow. Its agentic platform builds a per-employee Human Risk Graph, then deploys AI agents that engage workers directly in Slack, Teams and the browser to remediate device, app, identity and behavior risks - with humans kept in the loop. Founded in 2023 by Shreyas Sadalgi (CEO) and Tommy Donnelly (CTO), the company has raised roughly $9M and counts security-industry founders and CISOs among its backers and early customers.
SecLogic is a Boston-based cybersecurity company building an AI-driven cyber risk orchestration platform for the cloud era. Its two flagship products - CyberQ Shield, an agentless Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) that finds and auto-remediates misconfigurations and vulnerabilities across AWS, Azure, GCP and beyond, and CyberQ ORO, an Organization Risk Orchestration tool that quantifies human risk through multi-vector phishing simulation and awareness training - aim to give security leaders a single pane of glass across both their machines and their people. Founded in 2021 and backed by pre-seed funding, SecLogic operates across the US, Europe and India.
Ashley Rose is the co-founder and CEO of Living Security, the Austin-based company that turned dull compliance-checkbox security training into a data-driven discipline it helped name: Human Risk Management. She built the company in 2017 with her husband Drew, starting with in-person cyber escape rooms and scaling into an AI-native platform used by enterprises like Mastercard, Verizon, CVS Health and JPMorgan. A product-obsessed entrepreneur who once funded a kids' snap-change swimwear line on Kickstarter, Rose argues the industry has the human problem backwards: people are not the weakest link, they are the largest attack surface worth investing in.
Shreyas Sadalgi is the co-founder and CEO of Amplifier Security, an Atlanta- and San Francisco-rooted startup building AI, human-in-the-loop automation that turns employees from security liabilities into active defenders. After two decades in enterprise security strategy and business development at companies like Centrify and BetterCloud, he teamed up with three-time CISO Tommy Donnelly to tackle security's 'last mile' problem: the gap between what security policy says and what busy humans actually do. Amplifier has raised roughly $9 million, including a $5.6M seed round led by TechOperators in 2025.

Its platform runs hyper-realistic, AI-generated phishing, voice-clone, and deepfake simulations to train employees, then measures human risk through a dashboard of analytics and KPIs.

Doppel is an AI-native security platform for social engineering defense. It protects brands, executives, and employees from AI-powered impersonation, phishing, and fraud by detecting threats across social media, domains, marketplaces, and the dark web, correlating attack signals into a unified Threat Graph, and automating takedowns of attacker infrastructure.

Living Security is an Austin-based cybersecurity company that pioneered Human Risk Management (HRM), moving organizations beyond check-the-box compliance training toward measurable behavior change. Its AI-native Unify platform correlates behavioral, identity, and threat signals to find the small share of employees who drive most of an organization's risk, then guides targeted interventions. Founded in 2017 by Ashley and Drew Rose, the company serves more than 100 enterprises including Fortune 500 names, and was named a Leader in the 2024 Forrester Wave for Human Risk Management Solutions.
Anagram Security (legal name Enigma Analytics, Inc.) is a New York-based cybersecurity startup building a human-driven security platform that replaces the dreaded once-a-year compliance video with bite-sized, gamified microlearning and adaptive phishing simulations.

It raised a $10M Series A led by Madrona in February 2025, serves Fortune 500 customers including Disney, Pfizer, Thomson Reuters, and MassMutual, and supports over 500,000 users worldwide.
