Hampton North is partnering with a Series A cybersecurity company building autonomous AI-driven offense and defense tools for government and enterprise clients.
Their platform runs an AI-powered attacker continuously inside a client's own environment, finding vulnerabilities, moving laterally, and mapping attack paths before real adversaries can. It then automatically builds defenses based on what it finds, essentially a red team that never sleeps, paired with a system that acts on its own findings.
