About the company

Wraithwatch builds a B2B cybersecurity platform that uses artificial intelligence to predict, detect, and counter threats, especially those from generative AI, by integrating with a client’s existing security tools. Its self-evolving, agentic AIs sit on top of the client’s defenses and run simulated cyberattacks to uncover vulnerabilities, aiming to cut incident response time from weeks to minutes. Unlike traditional security software, it emphasizes autonomous AI that continuously adapts and augments security stacks and focuses on AI-driven threats, including offerings for government and allied entities. Its goal is to provide an adaptive, AI-powered defense that rapidly detects, neutralizes, and responds to cyber threats, strengthening protection against sophisticated attackers.

Wraithwatch wins $30M US federal contract for AI-powered cyber defence platform

Wraithwatch, an AI cyber defence company founded by veterans of JSOC, Palantir, SpaceX and Anduril, has secured a $30 million federal contract to deploy its autonomous cyber defence platform across multiple US government agencies. The Austin-based startup's system continuously models networks, computes attack paths in real time and deploys defensive mitigations at machine speed using AI agents that identify and neutralise cyber threats. The platform creates a digital twin of an organisation's environment to help security teams understand imminent network threats. Founded in 2023, Wraithwatch serves federal government and Fortune 500 customers. CEO Nik Seetharaman said the company provides defensive counterpressure against the growing threat of AI-powered offensive attacks, as frontier AI capabilities enable recursive self-improvement and exploit discovery.
