Amplifier Security Launches AI-Powered Solution to Bridge Gap Between Security Tools and Workforce

Security teams face the challenge of managing an extensive array of security tools, yet often struggle with coverage gaps and unaddressed alerts due to the difficulty in engaging employees preoccupied with their daily tasks. Amplifier Security has emerged from stealth with a innovative solution to this problem, announcing a $3.3m investment and the launch of the industry's first AI-powered human-in-the-loop automation and security copilot. This solution, named Ampy, aims to seamlessly connect an organization's existing security infrastructure with its workforce, fostering a collaborative environment for addressing security concerns without disrupting productivity.

The traditional approach of enforcing security controls through automation often meets resistance from employees, especially when such measures interrupt critical work processes. Amplifier Security's solution addresses this by introducing Ampy, an AI security buddy that engages employees in understanding and resolving security risks in real-time. By leveraging familiar interaction models, such as those used by credit card companies for fraud alerts, Ampy guides employees through necessary security protocols, thereby enhancing the organization's overall security posture while minimizing workflow disruptions.

At the core of Amplifier Security's offering is its human-in-the-loop automation platform, which includes a security data fabric, security hub, and engagement studio. This platform integrates with all corporate security tools, normalizing and contextualizing data to prioritize risks and vulnerabilities. It then facilitates actionable remediation efforts through Ampy, ensuring that security measures are both effective and employee-friendly. Founded by Shreyas Sadalgi and Thomas Donnelly, both veterans in enterprise security and IT, Amplifier Security brings decades of expertise in leveraging human-centric approaches to transform organizational security practices.

The introduction of Amplifier Security's solution marks a significant step forward in addressing the perennial challenge of balancing security with productivity. By empowering employees to play an active role in the security process, organizations can achieve faster response times and a stronger security culture, ultimately leading to a more secure and resilient operational environment.
