About Kairo
Summary
Kairo runs offensive security engagements against web apps, APIs, AI models, and autonomous agents, targeting the flaws that automated scanners miss. Customers get reproducible proof-of-concept exploits with remediation guidance mapped to OWASP and MITRE ATLAS, replacing checklist-driven penetration tests that were built for slower, simpler software. The work covers classic application vulnerabilities alongside AI-specific attack surfaces: prompt injection, agent hijacking, tool-call misuse, and data exfiltration through model outputs.
Go-to-market
Engineering and security teams at companies shipping modern web applications, APIs, or AI-integrated systems hire Kairo on a per-engagement basis for red team assessments.
