Security teams face the challenge of managing an extensive array of security tools, yet struggle with coverage gaps and the timely addressing of alerts due to the difficulty in engaging employees preoccupied with their daily tasks. Amplifier Security has stepped out of stealth mode, announcing a $3.3 million investment and the launch of 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 existing security infrastructure and its workforce, fostering a collaborative environment for enhanced security responsiveness.
The traditional approach of enforcing security controls through automation often meets resistance from users, especially when such measures disrupt critical work processes. 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, centered around Ampy, an AI security copilot, seeks to alleviate these challenges by serving as an engagement layer between security tools and employees. 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.
Inspired by familiar experiences, such as credit card companies verifying suspicious transactions, Ampy interacts with employees to guide them through security protocols based on real-time insights. This method not only accelerates response times but also enhances the organization's overall security posture by actively involving employees in the security process. The platform behind Ampy, Amplifier's human-in-the-loop automation, integrates with all corporate security tools, normalizes data across these tools to contextualize and prioritize risks, and facilitates actionable remediation efforts.
Founded by Shreyas Sadalgi and Thomas Donnelly, both of whom bring two decades of experience in enterprise security, IT, and automation, Amplifier Security is poised to transform how organizations approach security. Donnelly's background as a three-time CISO and CIO, with a focus on human-centric technology solutions, underscores the potential of Ampy to redefine security engagement within the workforce.
