Simbian CEO and Co-Founder Ambuj Kumar Earns 2024 Security Innovator Award

Mr. Kumar Leads Recently Launched Company Delivering Industry’s First Suite of AI Agents that Accelerate Security Operations Across Security Functions and Adapts to Diverse IT Environments

• Mountain View, Calif. – August 1, 2024 – Simbian, whose autonomous AI Agents accelerate security operations across diverse IT environments, today announced its CEO and Co-Founder Ambuj Kumar has earned a 2024 Security Innovator Award in the Security Innovator Awards program.
• The Security Innovator Awards is the industry’s only 100-percent peer-nominated awards program to recognize the innovative contributions made by individuals in the security industry – from integrators to consultants, to practitioners, to manufacturers and service providers. Mr. Kumar was recognized in the Cybersecurity Providers awards category of this program conducted by Security Business magazine, SecurityInfoWatch.com, and Security Technology Executive magazine.
• “The Security Innovator Awards emphasize applauding innovation to those individuals who demonstrate an outstanding level of excellence within our vital and constantly evolving industry,” says SecurityInfoWatch Editorial Director Steve Lasky.
• “It’s an honor to be named a 2024 Security Innovator, but the real credit goes to the Simbian team and their continued innovation toward autonomous security,” said Ambuj Kumar, Simbian Co-Founder and CEO. “As a result of our outstanding team, we have created the industry’s first AI-powered security operations platform that works across vendors to protect organizations at scale. The shortage of trained security talent is one of the top risks for enterprises. Our AI Agents enable security teams to scale their coverage 10x or more, so people can focus on strategic goals and let machines do all the mundane tasks.”
• Simbian recently emerged from stealth mode to deliver on fully autonomous security. Simbian’s AI-powered agents come built-in with skills to handle level-1 and level-2 security analysts’ operations tasks. The Simbian Agents continuously observe user actions and environments, and learn to autonomously perform increasingly sophisticated tasks on their own with time. The result is 10x or more speedup in security operations, while improving quality of security coverage.
• Simbian is committed to making security fully autonomous by delegating all tactical tasks to its trusted AI platform, allowing users to focus on strategic security goals.
• Simbian launched from stealth mode a few months ago with the mission of delivering the industry’s first fully autonomous security platform enabling cybersecurity teams to scale SecOps using an AI-powered platform and AI Agents. Simbian uniquely solves problems that have been left to humans, such as interacting with other humans, reading and writing free-form text, stitching together the context from disparate sources, and programming tailored security solutions. Its AI Agents come with built-in skills to autonomously handle some tasks such as acting on threat intelligence. Users interact with them with a natural language copilot, and its AI Agents learn and adapt to each organization by using AI to consume free-form documents, communications, and interactive input from people. With time they can take on more complex tasks, freeing people to focus on strategic decisions.
