Method Security, founded in 2023, is an autonomous cyber systems company that builds full-spectrum, dual-use cyber resilience products. Its platform combines offensive and defensive capabilities into a single system, aimed at shifting the advantage in cyber conflict from attackers to defenders. The company serves America's critical institutions, including the U.S. Department of Defense, federal government agencies and Fortune 500 companies, with a presence in the United States.
Two products anchor the platform. Bastion provides continuous asset testing, validating an organisation's security posture on an ongoing basis. Reaper enables software-defined offensive operations, conducting autonomous, precise attacks against an organisation's estate. The underlying technical work spans autonomous cyber operations, AI/ML security, digital twin modelling, attack surface management and data fusion.
The company was founded by former Palantir employees Sam Jones, Sean Hacker and Daniel Kelly. It is backed by Andreessen Horowitz and General Catalyst and has partnered with OpenAI. From inception the platform has been designed for dual use, serving government and commercial customers in the defence, federal government, critical infrastructure and enterprise sectors. Work is oriented towards autonomous operations, operator empowerment and a national security-oriented mission.
