The Era of Agentic AI in Cybersecurity Has Arrived

In recent years, the cybersecurity sector has grown exponentially to combat the surge in threats and attacks, driven by the adoption of cloud technologies, remote work, and AI tools. However, the industry is still woefully under-prepared to face this new reality with 87% of business executives globally claiming their companies are not adequately protected against cyber attacks. This is further exacerbated by a severe talent deficit in cybersecurity, a shortage which increases the risk of threat exposure and forces CISOs to focus on firefighting instead of taking a proactive approach to risk management. Twine’s platform equips cybersecurity teams with AI Digital Employees who execute tasks from A to Z to help close the industry’s critical talent gap. Twine’s AI Digital Employees work alongside cyber teams to augment their capabilities and complete their security objectives.

Twine was formed by cyber experts and longtime friends Benny Porat, Nadav Erez, Omri Green and Justin Woody, all former core team members at multi-billion-dollar-valued cyber company Claroty, where Porat was Co-founder and CTO, leading it to $100M+ annual recurring revenue (ARR), with more than a thousand customers globally. Twine’s innovative product architecture leverages AWS Bedrock as a fundamental component, to efficiently deploy sophisticated NLP models for use cases such as account classification and User Access Reviews recommendations. The company recently received $12M in seed funding from Dell Technologies Capital, Ten Eleven Ventures, and a long list of angel investors including Assaf Rappaport and Roy Reznik, Co-Founders of Wiz.

“Cyber teams simply have too much on their plate. That’s why we are equipping them with AI Digital Employees who execute tasks from A to Z and help close the industry’s talent gap”, said Twine’s Co-Founder and CEO, Benny Porat. “We are building trustworthy Agentic AI professionals who work to understand and execute tasks just like your best employee would, no matter your organization’s data readiness state. We look forward to presenting Alex, our first AI Digital Employee and IAM expert at RSAC™ Innovation Sandbox2025 as it celebrates its 20th anniversary.”

Ready to Remove the IAM Weight off of Your Security Team's Back?

Introducing Alex, Twine’s first digital cybersecurity employee, who takes away the burden of identity management tasks - proactively completing your organization’s cyber objectives.  Let Alex learn, understand and provide end-to-end execution and automation for your cyber team’s critical identity and access management (IAM) tasks:

The problem with today’s identity and access management (IAM) tools is that they generate a lot more work than initially expected: setup, deployment, as well as ongoing upkeep. Legacy systems are excessively complicated, require highly skilled operators, and do not ensure thorough deprovisioning. This results in residual traces, orphaned accounts, and over-privileged accounts.

Before Alex, no technology has been able to fully replicate human capabilities in the IAM cybersecurity vertical - until now. With Alex, finally cybersecurity teams are equipped with a high-performing digital employee who joins the team and autonomously executes IAM tasks as directed, from A to Z. Onboard Alex to maximize cyber efficiency and get the most out of your existing Identity toolset.
