A UK cyber start-up, CultureAI, has teamed up with Ignition to peddle what could potentially be some controversial AI tech.
CultureAI is a “human risk management platform” which uses AI to monitor employees’ online habits and spot risky behaviour, such as using weak passwords, clicking on dodgy links, or sharing secrets on chat apps.
However, the technology opens up a can of worms about firms monitoring staff, mainly using AI. The start-up says it can use data to “transform” staff security and reduce human risk by sending alerts and interventions to the most vulnerable workers.
CultureAI big cheese Jamal Shakir said: “Our partnership with Ignition Technology is a massive step in our mission to revolutionise human risk management.
“It has the skills and the reputation to help us speed up our growth and reach more customers.”
CultureAI will use Ignition’s network to boost its presence in the cyber market and take on the competition.
Ignition, which recently bagged a deal with CrowdStrike, another cyber firm, said it was impressed by CultureAI’s approach.
Ignition top dog Sean Remnant said: “CultureAI is a game-changer in employee cyber risk education and management.
“CultureAI offers a great chance for the channel to shake up an old market. We see a lot of demand for the human side of cyber risk to be tackled more efficiently and effectively. No more dull and irrelevant security training videos.”
The partnership is based on making it easier for businesses to work with them and boosting their market power through more sales, marketing, events, and support.
