What aais - armageddon artificial intelligence security does

AAIS - Armageddon Artificial Intelligence Security is a French SaaS and MSP cybersecurity awareness platform headquartered in Lyon, France, founded by Alexandre Marché and Jeremy Semoun. The company sells a unified platform designed to build an organizational "human firewall" through AI-powered phishing, vishing, smishing, and deep fake simulations, complemented by immersive awareness training built in Unreal Engine 5 with gamification and LinkedIn-certifiable modules. Supporting capabilities include data breach monitoring, domain surveillance, dark web analysis, and add-on services such as cybersecurity escape games and customized CTF challenges delivered by in-house consultants.

The core product, Armageddon Phishing, delivers AI-personalized phishing campaigns using machine learning that monitors global threats and generates realistic attack scenarios. The 2023 introductions of Vishing (anti-fraud telephone simulation) and Deep Fake (real-time video call manipulation simulation) are positioned as first-of-kind offerings on the French market. The platform integrates with Google Workspace via read-only Admin SDK for user provisioning, supports Google Authenticator 2FA, and pushes certifications to LinkedIn. Data is hosted on OVH infrastructure in France, with AWS Paris as a secondary hosting region.

AAIS generates revenue primarily through annual enterprise SaaS subscriptions priced per user, supplemented by professional services for implementation, configuration, and in-person training sessions. Pricing is quote-based and varies by organization size, with contracts signed as Bons de Commande and 12-month auto-renewal terms requiring 3-month cancellation notice. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales with a multi-tier distributor/MSP channel model, where Super Administrator partners manage and activate multiple client accounts. Visible enterprise customers include Rothschild, Generali, Alptis Assurances, and Sovitrat, alongside government clients such as Auvergne Rhône-Alpes and Ville de Meyzieu, distributed through named channel partners including Hardis Group, Sopra Steria, Apixit, Formind, Niji, and Avangarde Consulting.
