Amplifier protects your employees and their devices with AI Agents.
Its a single control plane that helps security teams accurately quantify risk, engage the right human at the right time and in the flow of work, and turn security findings into verified fixes — all without tickets or manual chasing.
It starts with accurate asset and device ownership - a problem that quietly breaks most security workflows, ensures security tooling coverage, closes endpoint vulnerabilities, governs AI usage across the workforce, and drives security training compliance.
The result: self-healing workforce security where security teams get freedom from endless follow-ups, and human risk flips into continuous, provable resilience.
