Amplifier Security Aims to Simplify Cybersecurity with AI-Powered Buddy System

Amplifier Security, a new company with a $3.3 million investment, is launching its AI-powered solution to streamline cybersecurity for both employees and security teams.

The current landscape of security tools often bombards employees with alerts and disrupts their workflow. Amplifier tackles this by introducing a user-friendly AI program that acts as a “security buddy.” This buddy integrates with existing security systems and guides employees through fixing security issues without hindering their productivity.

“Most security tools aren’t built to engage users,” says Shreyas Sadalgi, CEO and co-founder of Amplifier Security. “Amplifier flips the script by engaging employees in a more human-friendly way.”

Here’s how Amplifier Security benefits businesses:

• Simplified Security Fixes: The AI buddy simplifies security issue resolution, reducing disruption and frustration for employees.
• Enhanced Employee Engagement: By directly involving employees in the security process, Amplifier fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility.
• Streamlined Workflows for Security Teams: The system automates tasks and reduces the burden on security teams to constantly manage alerts.
• Reduced Risk of Breaches: By addressing security issues promptly and efficiently, Amplifier helps prevent potential breaches.

Amplifier Security’s solution goes beyond basic functionality. It creates a “Security Data Fabric,” providing a real-time view of a company’s security health across all their security tools. This centralized view eliminates data triangulation challenges and allows for a comprehensive security posture assessment.

Additionally, Amplifier provides an “Engagement Studio” for security teams. This studio empowers teams to design and manage user interactions through AI prompts, further streamlining security communication and education.

Amplifier Security emphasizes a human-centric approach. “Security teams need to completely rethink how their teams operate by allowing users to self-heal their own security issues,” says Thomas Donnelly, CTO and President.

This user-centric approach has already garnered positive feedback from Amplifier’s early partners. Companies using the platform in beta testing have reported significant improvements in response times, better identification of security gaps, and faster resolution of common security issues.

“Security has to be embedded in every function, and that means empowering all employees to participate,” says Steve Mancini, Head of Security at Guardant Health, a company using Amplifier Security.

With its innovative AI-powered approach, Amplifier Security aims to revolutionize how businesses handle cybersecurity. By simplifying security processes and fostering employee engagement, Amplifier empowers both employees and security teams to create a more secure and productive work environment.

The company is actively seeking new partners and encourages businesses interested in boosting their security posture to visit their website. Amplifier will also be showcasing their solution at the upcoming 2024 RSA Conference in San Francisco.
