At a time when artificial intelligence tools such as Anthropic\u2019s Claude Mythos make it child\u2019s play to identify vulnerabilities in software and systems, cyber criminals are stepping up their activity. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no longer any margin for error,\u201d explains Abdulrazak. \u201cThe only way to defend yourself against malicious actors now making use of AI is to deploy security at the point of design and implementation; there is no room for mis-steps that need to be modified later.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where Dawnguard comes in. The Amsterdam-headquartered start-up, founded by cyber security veterans from IBM, Microsoft, Amazon and military cyber operations, has raised an additional $3.4 million of pre-seed funding as it seeks to scale its security architecture automation platform.<\/p>\n<p>I first interviewed Dawnguard last summer, as the business unveiled its platform, offering tools that help developers to ensure new systems and software meet key security requirements before they\u2019re deployed \u2013 and to enable continuous monitoring and updating post-deployment.<\/p>\n<p>A year later, the company has continued to evolve its products and services and is this week revealing news of both the additional funding and the opening of an office in New York. Commercialization is also proceeding at pace. Dawnguard has reached this point through partnerships with around 15 large organisations that use its platform and provide feedback that underpins further development. Now the company is targeting the broader market with a fully paid-for product.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Cybersecurity has become trapped in an endless cycle of detection, response, and patching,&#8221; argues Abdulrazak. &#8220;For 20 years, security was something you added later. That model was already fragile.
