RedBlock AI’s mission is to remove the drudgery, repetitive, "eye on the glass screen” work done by Security Teams, using capabilities and compute power that are impossible to dream of today. In today's cybersecurity landscape, security teams are often overwhelmed by the sheer volume of data, making it difficult to discern genuine threats from false alarms. This data overload not only hampers efficiency but also increases the risk of overlooking critical vulnerabilities. To reinvent how Security Teams work, we are developing AI products that learn to increase productivity by automating rote tasks. For instance, our technology will contain an incident 100X faster than a human can intervene, giving security professionals the time and tools to analyze—and authorizing the AI to execute the remedial action. With human feedback, our AI Agents will empower enterprises to fight malicious and inadvertent incidents, freeing up security professionals to scale infinitely. We believe that one of the key jobs-to-be-done for AI in cybersecurity is automation. The field is overwhelmed with signals, alerts, and threat activity—AI could provide a significant helping hand. We are based in the SF Bay area and Bangalore, building a team of engineers, designers, product, sales, and marketing experts excited to solve problems at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity. We are funded by angels and operators who are experts in Systems, AI, and cybersecurity. If you’re interested in our mission, join us!
