Hadrian’s autonomous tech, supported by machine learning, secures an unsolicited seed round from major VCs, led by HV Capital,

Lockdown policies during the COVID-19 pandemic led to rapidly expanding attack surfaces. The rapid and at times ad-hoc implementation of cloud computing services during the pandemic made it difficult for organizations to keep track of growing assets and properly defend these vulnerabilities.

Developing an employee-led culture can be critical for rapidly growing start-ups seeking a sense of team unity and commitment to productivity. It can also be fun!

In this interview, Pepijn discusses the vulnerabilities he’s coming across most often, why they’re emerging, and how the scale of Hadrian’s hacking ambitions and its event-based framework has led him to think about code in new and exciting ways.

I think the main shift in my understanding has been realizing that my research and learning can be incorporated into the actual product. It’s exciting to see my work going towards building a differentiated product that can do well in this market.

Hadrian’s infrastructure level event-based approach to digital security, mimics the behavior of a hacker, and thus frees up valuable hacker time.

The overwhelming conclusion from ‘non-techie’ individuals who work at Hadrian is that although it might take time to find your footing,
