Hadrian is a hacker-led cybersecurity startup that mimics how an attacker would approach an organization, producing insights into sprawling digital infrastructures and critical security risks.

The company’s mission is to arm businesses with security insights from a hacker’s perspective.

In recent years, companies have moved many of their operations online, making it more difficult for security teams to keep track of their external-facing assets and prevent costly security breaches. The nature of cyber attacks is also changing and becoming more automated, putting pressure on security teams to keep up and innovate their tooling.

While the use of red teaming — where a company adopts the perspective of a potential attacker to test its defenses — as a tool in the security stack is nothing new, Hadrian uniquely leverages event-driven architecture and AI to automate and optimize what would otherwise require manual effort from red teaming experts.
