Redcoat AI is a cybersecurity company focused on protecting organizations against AI-powered social engineering attacks, with particular emphasis on mobile-based threats such as phishing (smishing) and other forms of human manipulation. The platform is designed to address the growing sophistication of social engineering attacks facilitated by generative AI, including deepfake technology and contextual impersonation via text, email, and voice channels. The platform operates across three functional areas. First, a simulation capability called "Pretender" enables organizations to conduct on-demand red teaming exercises, launching targeted social engineering attack simulations on mobile devices using scenarios that mirror real-world threats. Second, an assessment layer provides analytics through an enterprise dashboard, identifying vulnerabilities at both the individual and team level while tracking global attack trends. Third, a mobile defense application called "Defender" provides real-time protection across personal communication channels using an intent-based detection engine designed to block attacks even when attackers change their tactics or language. Redcoat AI targets enterprise organizations and is co-founded by John Whaley (Stanford PhD, CS), Kelly Byrd, and Mike Morris, all of whom have backgrounds at cybersecurity firms including Proofpoint, VMware, and UnifyID. The company is backed by multiple venture firms including Pear VC. Its platform is positioned to address the intersection of generative AI misuse and human-targeted cyber threats.
