When it comes to security, many companies struggle to identify and engage their riskiest users. Tasks like patching, removing unapproved software, fixing misconfigured endpoints and responding to anomalies are often delayed or skipped, leading to increased exposure. Most tools rely on compliance snapshots to satisfy audits, missing the steady drift in user behavior. According to the National Cyber Security Centre, AI accelerates the speed and precision of attacks to identify and exploit vulnerable users and their devices. With over 50% of breaches linked to poor user and endpoint security hygiene, businesses remain vulnerable unless they take proactive measures.

To address this growing gap, Amplifier Security today announced innovations to power the industry’s first Autonomous User Security platform – a system that uses AI to automate user engagement, drive remediation, and close security gaps in real time. By making users part of the fix, not just the source of risk, Amplifier reduces the burden on security teams while improving user and endpoint hygiene. Instead of relying on admins to chase users or on tools that stop at visibility, Amplifier activates end users directly, making them part of the security workflows without disrupting productivity – it’s AI-powered where it matters, and human-activated where it counts.
On the heels of its strong customer traction and market momentum since its launch, Amplifier also announced an oversubscribed $5.6 million seed round led by TechOperators, and an alliance partnership with Jamf. The funding will accelerate Amplifier’s growth as the company expands its platform and customer footprint.
The new round brings total financing raised since inception to $9M and includes participation from Cota Capital and WestWave Capital, as well as security veterans from companies like Arctic Wolf, Duo, Cisco, Citrix, OneTrust, and Greynoise. Notable angel investors include Brian NeSmith (Co-founder and Chairman, Arctic Wolf), Ash Devata (CEO, Greynoise; ex-VP Product, Duo/Cisco), Shawn Bass (CTO, Citrix), and Kabir Barday (Founder and CEO, OneTrust).

New Product Innovations
Amplifier announced two new innovations that power its unique AI-powered, human-activated approach: User Security Graph and AI Automation Studio – a combination that enables orchestration of security workflows while giving employees a seamless, low-friction experience. Instead of chasing down users, IT and Security teams rely on Amplifier’s AI agents to drive remediation at scale, closing gaps without blocking productivity. Amplifier will be showcasing its innovations at Jamf’s booth at the RSA Conference next week in several spotlight sessions.
User Security Graph
Amplifier’s User Security Graph maps real-time data across multiple tools – identity, endpoint, vulnerability management, SIEM, SaaS security, training, and any existing user security tool – to build a live profile of each employee’s security posture. Using AI, it highlights the most vulnerable users, visualizes likely attack paths, and reveals where controls are missing. This data powers personal in-browser dashboards, giving employees direct visibility into their own hygiene and related actions – keeping security top of mind without nagging or noise.
