Amplifier Security is an autonomous user security company that delivers employee security while preserving productivity. Its platform uses an AI-powered, human-activated approach to protect users without imposing blocking controls. The company introduced two product innovations: User Security Graph, which maps real-time data across identity, endpoint, vulnerability management, SIEM, SaaS security, training and other user security tools to build a live profile of each employee’s security posture; and AI Automation Studio, a drag-and-drop AI studio for human-in-the-loop automations that uses natural language prompts to guide users or escalate to managers, IT Ops, or SecOps. Amplifier plans to use new funding to accelerate growth and expand its platform and customer footprint. Led by CEO Shreyas Sadalgi and based in Atlanta and San Francisco, the company has raised $5.6M in the noted Seed round and $9M in total financing since inception. Amplifier Security emerged from stealth with Ampy, an AI security assistant and engagement layer that connects existing security tooling to the workforce via human-in-the-loop automation. Ampy guides employees through security protocols using real-time insights and aims to balance risk remediation with user productivity. The company emphasizes a self-healing approach that reduces disruptive actions (for example, forced reboots) by involving end users in triage and resolution. Amplifier’s platform integrates with identity security, MFA, endpoint security, vulnerability scanning and management, SaaS and cloud security, SIEM, and security training to boost organizational security posture and culture. Founders Shreyas Sadalgi (CEO) and Thomas Donnelly (CTO and President) bring two decades of enterprise security and automation experience, with Donnelly having served as a CISO and CIO multiple times. Financially, the company announced a $3.3 million pre-seed funding round to support product development and go-to-market efforts.
