# About ZioSec

We are security researchers and engineers who build advanced attacking agents. We know how they plan, adapt, and exploit systems because we engineer that behavior ourselves. That experience gives ZioSec the technical understanding to find vulnerabilities in AI systems and defend against attackers using AI.

## Mission

AI changes both sides of security. The agents a business deploys need adversarial testing, and the applications and APIs it already runs need defense against attackers using AI. Our mission is to help teams secure both.

Voidhawk provides adaptive defense for connected apps, APIs, and agents. The AI Red Teaming Platform supports fleet inventory, continuous attack campaigns, policy, findings, and audit evidence. Each product stands on its own, built by a team with direct experience creating the adversaries organizations need to understand.
