Rilian develops Caspian, an AI-native agentic security orchestration platform that provides a single command layer to integrate, operate, and automate cyber and defense capabilities. Its pre-trained AI agents are designed to amplify analyst productivity, capture institutional knowledge, and operate in private/sovereign cloud, on-premise, air-gapped, and compliance-constrained environments. The company emphasizes rapid deployment timelines and sovereign-friendly architectures for governments, critical infrastructure operators, and commercial customers. Rilian was founded by Christian Schnedler, Nick Pompeo, and Dan Fischer and is based in McLean, Va. It has announced strategic partnerships with vendors such as SentinelOne, Censys, and SimSpace and in July 2025 signed a contract with the UAE Cybersecurity Council to implement Caspian at the UAE National Security Operations Center. The company positions itself to accelerate adoption of agentic AI across U.S. and allied defense and security programs.
