Stop AI-powered cyber attacks like deepfakes, GenAI phishing, Smishing and More..
We have seen a…
4X increase in email phishing since the launch of ChatGPT
100K+ deepfake attacks in 2024
60% of employees will fail a deepfake attack, according to Adaptive estimates.
Our goal is to reduce that risk by 90%, while also identifying any remaining weak points.
Adaptive is a Next-Generation Security Training and Simulation Platform. We currently offer two products: Adaptive Phishing and Adaptive Training.
Adaptive Phishing identifies weak points by simulating GenAI cyber attacks over email, SMS, chat, and voice. Businesses can customize these attacks to utilize features like deepfakes of their executive team, open source intelligence of their company, and known attack vectors.
Adaptive Training educates employees on new and emerging security threats like deepfakes, smishing, and social media attacks. Material is broken down into engaging 3-7 minute modules, optimized for mobile and desktop viewing. Content is automatically personalized for every business.
Today, Adaptive is growing fast, working with leading businesses like regional and national banks, leading tech and software companies, and critical health systems.
Adaptive’s mission is to protect people and businesses from AI-powered cyber attacks. Over the next decade, we will work tirelessly to stay one step ahead of attackers with enhanced features, new products, and scale to every business globally.
