Now generally available, Kosmo handles the day-to-day work of finding and fixing data exposure, recommends what to tackle next, and builds the governance plans and reports security leaders bring to HR, legal, and the board.
Teleskope, the data security platform that resolves data exposure instead of just flagging it, today announced the general availability of Kosmo, a co-pilot for data security teams. Kosmo works alongside security teams on both the daily work and the longer-term plan: it investigates exposure, builds remediation plans, recommends what to tackle next, and produces the reports and briefing materials that move governance decisions forward.
Most security teams don’t lack findings. They lack time to step back. The questions that shape a data security program, what’s worth sweeping this quarter, which data owners need a conversation, how to explain exposure to an HR leader or the board, get pushed behind the daily work. That planning depends on scarce expertise, and it rarely gets the same rigor as the fixes.

Kosmo covers both. Ask it a question in plain language and it scopes the related risk into named sets with real counts, proposes a specific action for each file, turns recurring patterns into standing policy, and builds an artifact for whoever needs to see the result, from a security engineer’s working list to a briefing deck for a conversation with an HR officer. The numbers Kosmo measures are the same numbers it acts on and reports, so nothing gets re-litigated between the finding, the fix, and the explanation.
Kosmo also doesn’t wait to be asked. Chatbot-style assistants answer the question in front of them. Kosmo points teams toward the next recommended action: the exposure worth sweeping first, the pattern worth turning into policy, the stakeholder who should see the numbers. It takes on the thinking and planning side of data security, not just the execution, and every plan ends with a person’s approval.
Key Facts
- Product: Kosmo, a co-pilot for data security teams, generally available today.
- Company: Teleskope, headquartered in New York City. Website: teleskope.ai.
- Scope: day-to-day investigation and remediation, plus longer-term governance planning and stakeholder reporting.
- Capabilities: investigation, triage, remediation planning, policy creation, and reporting, delivered by specialist agents (Search, Triage, Remediation, Policy, and Reporting) behind a single plain-language interface.
- Architecture guarantee: Kosmo has no tool that executes a change. It proposes a plan and stops. Nothing changes in a customer’s environment until a person approves it.
- Permissions: every query runs under the asking person’s own access, resolved outside the agent, which is what makes it safe to extend past the security team.
- Data handling: only classification labels, counts, and resource identifiers reach the model. File contents never do.
- Founded: 2022, by Elizabeth “Lizzy” Nammour, former Airbnb data security engineer.
