Armadin
AI-native platform for proactive cyber defense
About Us
At Armadin, we're a group of engineers, researchers, and security researchers on a mission to redefine what proactive security can do in the AI era. Cyberattacks are becoming autonomous and relentless and we believe defending against threats before they materialize is one of the most powerful ways to protect the institutions the world depends on.
We're building autonomous proactive security from the ground up, reinforcing the tradecraft of elite security practioners into purpose-built security models and agents that discover risk and remediate it before organizations are breached.
Led by Kevin Mandia, founder of Mandiant ($5.4B exit to Google), our team brings together researchers and engineers from Google, xAI, Meta, Stanford, Georgia Tech, Waterloo, Berkeley, and MIT to reinvent security for an adversary that never sleeps.

Armadin provides an AI-native cybersecurity platform that helps large enterprises prepare for AI-driven cyber threats. Its system uses a swarm of specialized AI agents that simulate attacker behavior to continuously reason, plan, and adapt, seeking exploitable vulnerabilities and kill chains across an organization’s attack surface. Unlike traditional scanners, Armadin’s agents return proof of what can be exploited, enabling proactive remediation and a reduction in testing time from days to minutes. The company differentiates itself through autonomous, attack-minded AI that operates at machine speed, combining red-teaming expertise with AI research to detect and validate risks across multi-modal, rapid campaigns (hyperattacks). The goal is to shift security from reactive checks to proactive, continuous testing that keeps pace with AI-enabled threats, serving Fortune 100 enterprises on a subscription basis.
