The Intelligence Platform for Offensive Security
Empirical answers to "how would we handle an intrusion"—at scale.
Barding captures, structures, and learns from every offensive operation. Cross-operation intelligence that makes every operator and every defender smarter.
Most organizations cannot answer the critical question:
How well can we actually handle a serious attack?
AI Transforms Offense
AI makes sophisticated tradecraft accessible to unsophisticated actors for the first time. Defenders need to practice against this new reality.
No Platform Scales Red Teams
Red teams generate the most valuable security insights, but expertise stays trapped in individual engagements. Every operation starts from zero.
Automation Falls Short
Automated tools validate controls against known techniques. They can't test program-level response to adaptive adversaries.
Scale offensive operations. Measure what actually matters.
Barding gives red teams AI tooling that amplifies their operations and preserves their tradecraft—and gives defenders the metrics to know where they actually stand.
Augment the Red Team
Barding provides proprietary models that power high-quality agents aligned to each operator's style. Operators control how involved AI is in every operation—making engagements faster, better documented, and more impactful.
- Purpose-built agents that extend operator tradecraft, not replace it
- Dial AI involvement up or down to match the engagement
- Scale expertise across operations without losing fidelity
Metrics That Matter
Go beyond "did the alert fire?" Barding delivers empirical, benchmarked intelligence drawn from real operations—measuring how well your organization can actually respond to intrusions.
- Measure detection, containment, and remediation against real adversary behavior
- Benchmark your program against peers, not just a checklist
- Actionable insights tied to how your team performs under pressure
BAS and AEV tools test whether your technical controls can stop an attack.
Barding tests whether your organization can.
