Bricklayer AI has announced a $2.5 million pre-seed investment to advance the product development of its autonomous AI security analyst solution. This pre-seed round was oversubscribed, with participation from Sovereign’s Capital, Dreamit Ventures, VIPC’s Virginia Venture Partners, BlueWing Ventures, and Blu Ventures, and cybersecurity industry leaders.
Bricklayer AI created the first autonomous security platform combining multiple AI agents to form a team of AI specialists who collaborate with their human peers to develop a faster, more efficient cybersecurity team. And by utilizing the same model that makes human teams powerful, Bricklayer Specialists, tools, and procedures become integrated into the existing organizations’ people, processes, and technology simply and intuitively.
Bricklayer is not considered another co-pilot. This product has been focused on an autonomous agent vision from the beginning. With Bricklayer AI, human SOC teams select AI Specialists, equip them with AI tools, create tasks, run procedures, and automate them at scale. As Bricklayer AI can serve in a supporting role – with the human security analyst in control – the massive operational benefit comes through automating workflows that the analyst is responsible for, then scaling laterally to multiply the security workforce massively.
Bricklayer AI’s Founder and CEO, Adam Vincent, is an experienced cybersecurity expert and previous founder of ThreatConnect, a company specializing in intelligence and automation to produce the industry’s first intelligence-driven security operations platform. And Bricklayer is the next evolution of automation and intelligence.
KEY QUOTES:
“Bricklayer AI, as part of its customer work, was used by enterprise customers and MSSPs alike and received overwhelmingly positive feedback that AI Analysts in the cybersecurity domain would lead to dramatic improvements in security operations. This, coupled with Adam’s [Bricklayer AI CEO] expertise in cybersecurity and his experience building enterprise software companies and prior success at ThreatConnect, was what excited us to invest.”
– Tanuj Gulati, Founder and former CTO of Securonix, Strategic Advisor at Dreamit Ventures
“There are simply too few cybersecurity professionals to meet the demand of today’s threats. Human teams have an insurmountable challenge by themselves. Adding AI analysts that are purposefully trained to automate time-consuming tasks, is the best way to solve for the hiring dilemma. Teams can grow – and become more effective – on day 1 of implementing Bricklayer.”
– Adam Vincent, Bricklayer AI Founder and CEO
