Security teams face the challenge of managing an expanding array of security tools, often leading to coverage gaps and unattended alerts due to the difficulty in engaging employees preoccupied with their daily tasks. Amplifier Security has stepped out of stealth mode, securing a $3.3m investment to address this issue with the industry's first AI-powered human-in-the-loop automation and security copilot. This innovative solution aims to bridge the gap between an organization's security infrastructure and its people, fostering a collaborative environment for enhanced security measures.
The traditional approach of enforcing security controls through automation often meets resistance from employees, especially when such measures disrupt critical workstreams. The process of triaging security alerts, which involves distinguishing between true and false positives before taking any disruptive actions, adds to the burden. Amplifier Security's solution, featuring Ampy, an AI security copilot, seeks to mitigate these challenges by serving as an engagement layer between security tools and the workforce. Ampy acts as a trusted advisor, helping employees understand the risks they may pose to the organization and assisting in resolving security issues without compromising productivity.
Amplifier's platform integrates with all corporate security tools, normalizing data across them to contextualize and prioritize security risks. The platform's security data fabric, security hub, and engagement studio work in tandem to translate security findings into actionable remediation efforts through Ampy. This method not only accelerates response times but also strengthens the organization's security posture by directly involving employees in the security process.
Founded by Shreyas Sadalgi and Thomas Donnelly, both veterans in enterprise security, IT, and automation, Amplifier Security brings a human-centric approach to solving security challenges. Donnelly's experience as a three-time CISO and CIO underscores the company's commitment to leveraging technology and human engagement to transform organizational security. This launch marks a significant step forward in addressing the complex dynamics between security protocols and workforce productivity, offering a scalable solution that benefits both security teams and employees alike.
