We prove if your cloud security mechanisms work; before attackers do !

Most organizations don't know whether their security controls will stop an attack until it's too late. Mitigant closes this gap as a cloud-focused platform in Gartner's Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV) category. Organizations use Mitigant to validate the effectiveness of their security controls by safely emulating adversary techniques against cloud and AI workloads across AWS, Azure, GCP and Kubernetes, showing which controls work and where the blind spots are.
Our story

How It Started

Kennedy Torkura, Nils Karn, and Muhammad Sukmana met at Hasso Plattner Institute, Potsdam, Germany. Kennedy and Muhammad were researching cloud security while Nils was conducting research related to design thinking. In 2020, the three came to the idea of starting an enterprise cloud security solution after they could not find a suitable solution that addresses the challenges of rapidly evolving cloud attacks. Dr. Thomas Fricke, one of the cloud security and Kubernetes experts in Germany, joined the team giving his expertise as well as connections in the German cybersecurity and startup scenes.

Resility GmbH (now Mitigant GmbH) was founded in June 2021 by the team that marked the start of their journey to develop Mitigant, a cloud security solution aiming to make enterprise cloud infrastructure secure and resilient from possible cloud attacks. In December 2021, Resility received the initial funding of seven figures from three German venture capitals: HighTech-Gründerfonds, Brandenburg Kapital, and adesso Ventures.

Why Mitigant?

Mitigant enables organizations to validate the effectiveness of their preventive, detective and recovery controls by safely running attacks against cloud and AI workloads. Most cloud security tools stop at reporting what's misconfigured, leaving teams to guess which of thousands of alerts actually matter.

Mitigant leverages AI to analyze the cloud environment and recommend the most impactful attacks, enabling organizations to run contextual attack emulations. Attacks are mapped to MITRE ATT&CK and ATLAS techniques, and aligned with Cyber Threat Intelligence, helping teams prioritize defenses in alignment with the evolving threat landscape.
