Our Mission

Protecting the world’s conversations at the speed of AI.

 

Aten SecurityTM harnesses artificial intelligence to secure how people communicate. We’re building an AI-native defense layer for the world’s most critical institutions—where security, systems engineering, and research converge to protect trust at scale.

 

Our team consists of builders, researchers, and security innovators with deep expertise in security architecture, distributed systems, and applied machine learning—drawing experience from Anchorage Digital, Google, Stanford and Waterloo. We’ve seen how fast communication evolves, and how easily oversight tools fall behind.

 

That’s why we’re re-architecting how security integrates with communication itself—creating systems that understand, verify, and defend interactions in real time, without slowing the speed of business.

Because security builds trust—and trust powers progress.

Join Us

 

We’re a team of engineers, researchers, and security innovators building the next generation of AI-native defense systems for regulated industries.

 

Our work spans threat detection, secure communication intelligence, and autonomous response—bridging machine learning, systems design, and applied security research. If you thrive at the intersection of AI, security, and infrastructure, and want to shape how technology defends—not endangers—human trust, we’d love to collaborate.
