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 its changed how every company gets attacked. Employees use AI tools IT doesnt 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 theyll actually face, simulating AI-powered attacks in a safe environment, and protecting the inbox and browser so threats never reach their intended targets. Because its one platform, Adaptive develops a complete risk picture and uses it automatically, applying targeted training, attack simulations, real-time interventions, and policy controls to lower risk over time. More than 1,000 organizations run Adaptive to manage their human security program, and the company has raised $150M+ from investors including NVIDIA, Andreessen Horowitz, Bain Capital Ventures, and Citi Ventures.

Tidal Cyber is redefining how modern security teams think about exposure, detection, and readiness. No longer bound by CVE counts, asset inventories, or checkbox compliance, Tidal Cybers Threat-Led Defense provides a level of specificity not seen before. Organizations can now reduce risk proactively with the precision to answer the most important question in cybersecurity: "Can I defend against the latest threat?" Through TTPs and procedural-level insights mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, adversary groups and their behavior are embedded into your security strategy, shifting to a proactive, continuous threat-led defense first. Built by former MITRE ATT&CK® experts and the co-founder of MITREs Center for Threat-Informed Defense, Tidal Cybers threat-led platform introduces a breakthrough level of specificity by mapping techniques and sub-techniques to operationalize adversary procedures. This shift transforms how organizations understand, measure, and act on threat exposure. Unlike traditional, reactive, or vulnerability-first approaches, Tidal Cyber delivers procedural-level granularity across the MITRE ATT&CK framework, offering unmatched visibility into the "how" of attacker behavior. Their coverage mapping calculates residual risk for each technique and provides stack-specific visibility, highlighting exposures based on how real-world adversaries operate.
