Adaptive Security, a New York-based AI cybersecurity startup, has raised a $43 million Series A funding round co-led by OpenAI’s startup fund and Andreessen Horowitz.
Adaptive Security's platform simulates AI-generated 'hacks' to train employees to spot and react to threats, covering calls, texts, and emails.
The startup focuses on 'social engineering' hacks, which exploit human employees and can lead to significant losses.
OpenAI's investment in Adaptive Security reflects the growing concern about AI-powered cyber threats and the need for effective defense strategies.
