Investment Thesis
Adaptive Security uses AI to simulate realistic deepfake attacks across voice calls, SMS, and email. The platform deploys lifelike AI personas that mimic real individuals, helping security teams identify vulnerabilities and deliver training.
Backed by OpenAI's first cybersecurity investment, Adaptive has grown to over 500 enterprise customers including PayPal, Xerox, Bose, the NHL, Figma, and Ramp.
AI-powered voice cloning and deepfakes let hackers impersonate executives and coworkers with terrifying accuracy, and traditional security awareness training can't prepare employees for attacks they've never seen.
Simulates hyper-realistic AI-generated attacks across voice, SMS, and email using lifelike personas, then delivers targeted training to employees who fall for them.
AI impersonation is the #1 concern for security leaders with no real competition in the category — and the threat is growing exponentially as voice cloning tools become freely available.
Over 500 enterprise customers including PayPal, Xerox, Bose, NHL, Figma, and Ramp in under a year, backed by OpenAI's first-ever cybersecurity investment alongside a16z.
Brian Long (CEO) and Adam Markowitz (CTO) previously co-founded Attentive, scaling it to 8,000+ enterprise customers and a $10B+ valuation before tackling AI security.
