# Built by the people who attack for a living.

We built and sold a WAF at ThreatX. At ZioSec, we build autonomous AI attackers. Voidhawk brings that experience to defense.

A ZIOSEC PRODUCT · THREATX CORE TEAM · BOULDER, COLORADO

## The story

### 01. THREATX: A WAF that shipped.

Pentester turned CTO, Andrius Useckas cofounded ThreatX, built its WAF, and took it to market. A10 Networks acquired the company.

### 02. ZIOSEC: The red team, automated.

Next came [ZioSec](https://ziosec.com): autonomous AI attackers running continuous campaigns against enterprise AI agents in production.

### 03. THE LESSON: Machines break in like humans now.

Our agents learn systems, chain vulnerabilities, and adapt after every attempt. Watching them break in showed us where signatures fail.

### 04. VOIDHAWK: Offensive AI. Turned to defense.

Voidhawk uses the technology behind autonomous attacks to understand and stop them as they adapt.

## In one sentence

> Treat every attacker as a sentient being, not a bot. Do that, and you have to rethink the entire firewall.
