As the integration of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things becomes an integral part of everyday life, the need for robust cybersecurity solutions is greater than ever in 2024 and beyond. Cyber attacks have only grown in sophistication in 2021 and beyond, prompting organizations of all sizes to bolster their defenses against potential disruptions with far-reaching impacts.
Orcus takes an offensive hacking approach, aiming to proactively identify and address vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. With cybersecurity investments predicted to exceed $3 trillion by 2025, Orcus sees an urgent demand for talent and security, particularly in the context of the digital transformation of the national security sector.
The company advocates a holistic approach that emphasizes awareness, education, and workforce training. Orcus’ comprehensive AI security validation platform provides a holistic view of both the internal and external attack surfaces. The automated solution can discover sensitive data, execute exploits, perform advanced attacks, escalate network privileges, and even impersonate users to uncover sensitive personal information.
Orcus differentiates itself with features such as instant attack surface discovery, seamless integration with leading security testing tools, powerful automation capabilities, risk detection prioritization, etc. Co-founders Nic (25) and Chris (42) bring niche expertise in AI software, hardware and ethical hacking, using their skills to mimic tactics used by malicious actors, ultimately enhancing network security.

Setting itself apart from traditional competitors, the security startup advocates for a proactive and informed defense against all threats, aiming to deliver sustained and quantifiable results in the ever-evolving field of cybersecurity.
