AI Automation & Infrastructure

AI agents that
work while you sleep.

Custom-trained AI agents integrated with your business systems. From content workflows to security monitoring — intelligent automation that scales without headcount.

● cvl-agent ~ scanning target: your-app.io

✗ Exposed S3 bucket: CRITICAL — 14,200 records

✓ Report sent. 4 critical issues patched. Secure.

The Reality

You built something great.
Now keep it yours.

You're shipping fast. Building with AI tools. But every API endpoint you expose is an open door. Attackers have automated tools scanning for them right now.

AI-generated code ships vulnerabilities at scale

Copilot doesn't test for SQL injection or IDOR. Code that looks right isn't always secure.

☁️

Cloud providers secure infrastructure, not your app

AWS secures the data center. You secure bucket permissions and everything your app does.

🔗

Your supply chain is someone else's attack surface

The average Node.js app imports 800+ packages. Each one is a potential entry point.

📋

Compliance isn't optional — it's table stakes

Enterprise contracts require SOC 2. Without documented testing, you're locked out.

⏱

Annual pentests leave you exposed 364 days

You ship weekly. A once-a-year test misses everything introduced between assessments.

💸

In-house security is a $250K+ problem

A senior AppSec engineer costs $200K–$280K/year in the US. We deliver without the headcount.

What We Do

Four services. One mission:
keep your business unbreakable.
