Goodbye AISLE, Hello Cohere Cyber
We’re incredibly excited to announce that AISLE has been formally acquired by Cohere. From today, we will be serving customers as Cohere Cyber.
Two years ago, we set out to address the hardest problem in cybersecurity at a time when it got much harder. The simple fact is that the world’s critical infrastructure runs on decades of technical debt that is actively being exposed by AI.
From the outset, we knew we were in a race against time. Even though we were confident in the platform we built, which has discovered over 650 CVEs in the last 14 months, we knew that as an early-stage startup, our impact was going to be limited.
As part of Cohere, that no longer holds true. In the words of Ondrej Vlcek, the new SVP of Cohere Cyber, “We founded AISLE to solve a global problem, and by combining with Cohere, we have a chance to have a global reach and serve customers across the world’s critical infrastructure and defense organizations. In this new chapter, our impact will be multiplied 100 times.”
Along with Aleph Alpha and Reliant AI, AISLE is now the third AI company with European roots to join Cohere. We are joining a fast-growing team of over 1,000 people with a strong foundation in both Canada and Europe, and our co-founder and CISO, Jaya Baloo, is becoming CISO of Cohere. Yet through these changes, our mission remains the same: to deliver high-performance AI security capabilities in any deployment environment, from the cloud to air-gapped networks.
Though the acquisition formally closed this morning, our engineers led by Stanislav Fort, Cohere’s new VP of AI Security, have already completed their first cyber sprint with Cohere. This is a perfect example of the natural synergy between our organizations. Whereas most AI security platforms have to tack cyber capabilities onto generalist models, Cohere Cyber is bringing security to the frontier of AI model development.
Looking ahead, Prague is becoming Cohere’s global center for AI cybersecurity and autonomous security systems. From our base in the heart of Europe, we’ll be advancing the development of sovereign AI cybersecurity.
The next chapter begins now.
