Rebuilding cybersecurity
 from first principles

Cybersecurity has reached its human limit.

The problem isn't tools. It's scale.
Attackers move at machine speed. Defenders are still drowning in tickets, dashboards, and handoffs.

The next era of security has no categories.
The walls between security and IT will dissolve.

Static tools and fragmented workflows will be replaced by AI agents that own the job end to end—assessing risk, prioritizing action, executing response.

No bottlenecks.
No broken handoffs.
No waiting on humans to catch up.

This is security at machine scale and the speed of human thought.

When AI agents process months of security data in minutes, defense stops reacting and starts leading. Small teams stop chasing alerts and start managing risk. Humans move from manual execution to strategic control.

These agents won’t live in silos. They will emerge from a unified, agentic platform built for security at machine scale. A platform designed to operate where human effort no longer can.

A platform that makes human defenders, superhuman.

This isn't an upgrade. It's a rebuild from first principles.

We're building Kai to make this future inevitable.

Our Story

Galina Antova

Co-Founder & CEO

Damiano Bolzoni

Co-Founder & CTO

The best founders don't improve existing categories. They make them obsolete.

The best founders don't improve existing categories.

They make them obsolete.

Kai was founded on a simple and radical conviction: you cannot win a machine-speed war with human-speed defenses. Not with more tools. Not with more headcount. Not with AI bolted onto the same fragmented stack. The only real answer is to stop deploying tools and start deploying intelligence - an agentic layer that executes security work end-to-end, the way attackers already operate.

Galina Antova and Dr. Damiano Bolzoni have built category-defining companies before: Claroty, the pioneer of cyber-physical security, and SecurityMatters, acquired by Forescout. They know what it takes to rebuild security from first principles, in environments where complexity is high, failure is not an option and there is no playbook to follow.

At Kai, the conviction is the same. The scale is larger. Not improving what exists. Rebuilding it- because the threat demands nothing less.

Kai is that rebuild. And the proof is already in production.

Leadership Credibility

The founding team has defined new categories before.CEO Galina Antova previously founded $3B Claroty, giving birth to the industrial cybersecurity category.


CTO Damiano Bolzoni, Ph.D. founded SecurityMatters, an operational technology security company acquired by Forescout for more than $113 million.

Pattern of Innovation

In both cases, there were no categories to inherit or tools to extend. The team had to imagine what effective security technology should be — and then create it from the ground up.

Founder Philosophy / DNA

Together, they’ve spent their careers building technology for environments where complexity is high, failure is not an option, and incremental tools aren’t enough.

Transition to Kai

At Kai, they are applying the same playbook, reimagining the future security technology stack. This time, AI is the foundation.
