"When you have AI on offense, what you are going to get is a technology that can think, can learn, can adapt. Attackers will be able to complete attacks in minutes that used to take days. Armadin aims to provide the white hats automated agents so they have their own agentic armies to combat AI-powered attacks."
"Kevin Mandia founded Armadin to create autonomous cybersecurity agents, software designed to learn and respond to threats without a human in the middle. He believes autonomous AI hackers are on the way and that they are to be feared. Security researchers and government agencies have raised similar alarms, warning that AI is already lowering the bar for launching sophisticated attacks."
Kevin Mandia, founder of Mandiant (sold to Google for $5.4 billion in 2022), launched Armadin, a new AI-native cybersecurity startup that raised $189.9 million in combined seed and Series A funding from investors including Accel, GV, Kleiner Perkins, Menlo Ventures, 8VC, Ballistic Ventures, and In-Q-Tel. The funding round is claimed to be a record for a security startup at such an early stage. Armadin develops autonomous cybersecurity agents—software designed to learn and respond to threats without human intervention. Mandia warns that autonomous AI hackers are emerging and will complete sophisticated attacks in minutes rather than days. The company aims to provide security experts with automated agents to counter AI-powered attacks.
