The Company That Attacks You Before the Scammers Do
AI made it cheap to clone a CEO's voice and email 10,000 employees at once. Adaptive Security's answer is to run those attacks first - as a drill - and see who clicks.
Noam Awadish
Noam Awadish is the co-founder and CEO of imper.ai, a cybersecurity company that launched in December 2025 with $28 million in funding to detect AI-driven impersonation and social engineering attacks in real time. Before imper.ai, Awadish spent more than a decade in Israel's elite Unit 8200 as Head of Initial Access, then served as Chief of Staff for Autonomous Vehicle Programs at Mobileye. He founded imper.ai with two other 8200 veterans, Anatoly Blighovsky and Rom Dudkiewicz, to build a platform that scans device telemetry and network diagnostics rather than trying to out-detect generative models.
Jericho Security
Jericho Security is a New York-based cybersecurity company that uses generative AI to defend organizations against AI-powered attacks. 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. Founded in 2023, the company pits an AI 'red team' against an AI 'blue team' to find and close the gaps attackers now exploit at machine speed - an approach it sums up as fighting AI with AI.
