"We executed perfect targeted phishing attacks for years. AI didn't invent them, it democratized them. What took us weeks now takes any attacker minutes. Pattern-based defenses were never designed to stop attacks that AI-engineered to evade patterns. That's why we built Ocean: to investigate threats with the depth they demand, at the scale enterprises require."

Our Founders

We spent years as nation-state operators, bypassing every email security tool the industry relies on. Ocean is the system that would have kept us out.
