Sevii Launches Cyber Swarm Defense to Make Agentic AI Security Costs Predictable

“People have finite budgets, and budget spend must be predictable,” explains Curt Aubley, CEO and founder at Sevii. “In our view, our Cyber Warriors [Sevii’s name for its own agents] become an extension of the customer’s team. We don’t charge AI token costs – we charge per asset protected. So, there’s a firm fixed price cost, say, $50 a year to protect a laptop, or an identity, or a cloud asset. It doesn’t matter how many attacks come in, our ADR platform works with and for the customer without charging more and for more AI tokens.”This approach will become more attractive when the expected storm of attacks driven by ever-improving AI foundation models fully breaks. If the customer company experiences multiple simultaneous attacks from multiple attackers, the Sevii platform will automatically spin up as many ‘Cyber Warriors’ as are needed – but without increasing the cost.CSD also offers built-in governance through Sevii’s Myrmidon Defense Technology. It allows customers to control when Autonomous CSD Mode is activated. Customers can set their remediation service level objective, which determines when ADR will dynamically deploy Agentic AI Cyber Warrior agents at scale.While this could automatically remediate problems caused by an attack, not all assets are of equal criticality. Lower value assets (with nil or limited blast radius) can be remediated automatically. But critical assets can be protected and set aside for manual remediation by the in-house security experts. With the predictable cost from Sevii, the CISO is better able to control the budget and ensure that sufficient high level analysts can remain in-house to perform any necessary critical remediation through human cognition.“This is a game changer,” suggests Frank Holt, CEO at Synergem Technologies. “Cyber performance matters. Organizations can now economically meet their cyber goals of a sub 15 minute full remediation, even when defending against cyberattack swarms, at a firm fixed price per asset protected. This provides the predictable budgeting that security leaders need, without hiring more team members, outsourcing to an MDR, or worrying about AI budget exhaustion mid-incident.”Related:‘Mythos-Ready’ Security: CSA Urges CISOs to Prepare for Accelerated AI ThreatsRelated:The New Rules of Engagement: Matching Agentic Attack SpeedRelated:Why Agentic AI Systems Need Better Governance – Lessons from OpenClawRelated:Autonomous Offensive Security Firm XBOW Raises $120M at $1B+ Valuation
