What Adversa AI does

Adversa AI is an Israeli AI cybersecurity company founded in 2019 and headquartered in Tel Aviv that provides continuous red teaming and remediation services for AI systems, with a primary focus on autonomous AI agents, large language models, and generative AI applications. The company's core platform, the Agentic AI Security Platform, runs autonomous security assessment campaigns on every model update, prompt change, and new tool connection, identifying vulnerabilities such as prompt injection, goal hijacking, tool misuse, privilege abuse, and memory poisoning. The company supplements this with SecureClaw (an open-source OWASP-aligned security plugin for OpenClaw AI agents), AIRQ (an independent risk scoring framework that rates 100+ AI agents on attack surface, blast radius, and defenses), and targeted red-teaming service lines for MCP, GenAI, and LLM deployments.

The firm's core technology maps assessments to OWASP, NIST, CSA, and MITRE ATLAS frameworks, and is backed by what the company describes as the world's first AI security patent. Its research team has produced high-profile disclosures including the Universal LLM Jailbreak paper, the SymJack symlink-hijack RCE vulnerability affecting six AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, Copilot, Grok Build), and the TrustFall MCP auto-approval flaw, which are evidence of meaningful adversarial AI expertise rather than surface-level tooling. Adversa AI co-leads the CoSAI Agentic AI Security workstream and contributes to standards bodies including OWASP, NIST, and CSA, giving it influence over emerging AI security compliance requirements.

The company operates a B2B enterprise GTM with two revenue streams: subscription-based access to the continuous red-teaming platform and managed professional services for hands-on security assessment. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Target customers are enterprise organizations across financial services, insurance, automotive, internet/media/marketplaces, and smart city verticals that are deploying AI agents for high-stakes use cases such as trading, claims processing, and autonomous driving. The GTM motion is anchored in thought leadership through research publication, standards-body contribution, conference speaking (including RSA Conference 2026), and earned media presence in outlets including Fortune, Forbes, MIT Technology Review, WIRED, TechCrunch, and the Wall Street Journal.

Core offering

Adversa AI delivers continuous AI red teaming and remediation for custom AI agents, LLMs, and GenAI applications via its Agentic AI Security Platform. The platform autonomously runs security assessments on every model update, prompt change, and new tool connection, identifying vulnerabilities such as prompt injection, goal hijacking, tool misuse, privilege abuse, and memory poisoning. It also offers specialized modules (SecureClaw, AIRQ), targeted red teaming for MCP/GenAI/LLM, and tiered services (Secure AI Awareness, Secure AI Assessment, Secure AI Assurance).

Product overview

Adversa AI offers a unified security platform for AI systems consisting of the core Agentic AI Security Platform with continuous red teaming and remediation capabilities, complemented by specialized modules including SecureClaw (open-source OWASP-aligned security plugin for OpenClaw agents), AIRQ (AI Risk Quadrant Report for ranking 100+ AI agents), and targeted red teaming services for MCP, GenAI, and LLM. The platform is structured around three service tiers: Secure AI Awareness (threat intelligence and training), Secure AI Assessment (vulnerability identification), and Secure AI Assurance (remediation and monitoring). The company pioneered AI security with patent-pending technology and contributes to OWASP, NIST, and CSA standards.
