We build products
that support and empower those who protect others
Our mission
We spent decades defending our nation against sophisticated adversaries, and founded Andesite to build security products that support and empower those who protect others. That’s why we’ve built a product for human-AI collaboration in cyber defense that amplifies analysts’ expertise and unleashes their potential.
Our story
We started with service. After decades protecting our nation and some of the largest enterprises on the planet against resourceful adversaries, we founded Andesite to build security products that empower those who work protecting others.
Who we are
We’re a diverse team of cyber and security experts, passionate technologists, and experienced product builders. We come from some of the largest national security, tech, cybersecurity, and data organizations on the planet.
