With Amplifier, security and IT teams can gain a comprehensive understanding of their workforce security health and collaborate with end users to enforce controls — leading to a faster response time that dramatically increases the security posture and culture of an organization. Amplifier is crafted with in Atlanta and San Francisco.

Our Story

From our 20+ years in the security industry, we know firsthand how difficult it can be to engage employees to gain context and solve security issues due to the high degree of nuance and manual effort required. We decided it was time to flip the problem of workforce security on its head.

Most security tools aren’t built to engage users, as they’re always meant to work in the background. With the advent of AI based automation, we figured, what if, instead of thinking of automation as the removal of human involvement from a security task, we imagined it as the selective inclusion of human participation? There was a clear opportunity for a new approach to flip the script by engaging employees on behalf of all security tools with the power of AI in a human-friendly way.

Our goal: to empower employees to take self-healing security actions. Instead of taking a blunt hammer approach, our AI-powered automations loop in employees in friendly and collaborative ways to enforce security controls. And we do it with empathy and humor, always explaining the why behind each security risk, finding and required action. We believe security should be a friendly, approachable and cooperative discipline. Our vision is to shift the cybersecurity focus back to include both technology and the people who use it, creating a balanced and more secure environment for businesses.
