Problem
Traditional cybersecurity controls operate at the network or endpoint level, leaving users unprotected at the exact moments when their decisions—such as clicking a link, approving an action, or sharing data—can introduce risk. With the rise of AI-driven threats that exploit human behavior, organizations lack a foundational security layer that provides guidance and protection directly at the user level, in real time.
Solution
Sidekick Labs offers a forward-deployed cybersecurity platform that embeds intelligent security assistance directly alongside every user. The platform collects telemetry and other data relating to security events and workflows, then uses that context to deliver real-time protection and guidance at the critical moments when decisions can create risk. By positioning expertise with each user, Sidekick shifts security from a perimeter-based model to an individualized, behavior-aware control that helps people work safely without cumbersome disruption. The solution is designed to operate continuously, integrating with existing enterprise workflows and alerting users instantly when a security-sensitive action is detected.
Target Audience
Primary customers are enterprises seeking to strengthen their security posture against AI-driven threats by embedding proactive, user-level protection into their existing workflows.
