Armadin

What it is

A hosted service that runs autonomous AI agents, described as an agentic attacker swarm, to map an organization's attack surface and prove which paths to compromise actually work. Kevin Mandia is the founder and CEO.

What it helps with

- Enumerating hosts, people, and defenses during reconnaissance
- Probing weak points in parallel and adapting as the environment responds
- Turning validated paths into kill chains against scoped objectives
- Returning prioritized remediation guidance for each confirmed path

Who it's for

Enterprise security and red teams testing networks and systems their organization owns or is authorized to assess.

Worth knowing

Armadin says its agents follow red team methods rather than checklist scans, with built-in guardrails meant to keep tests controlled and non-disruptive. Access is sold through a demo request, not a self-serve signup.

How does a test progress?
It describes three phases: reconnaissance, adaptive scouting, then a precision strike on validated paths.

Does it only look for known CVEs?
No, Armadin says the agents reason and adapt like human attackers and validate full kill chains, not only version matches.
