AI-native security architecture automation that builds secure cloud systems from day zero
Dawnguard is an AI-native cybersecurity platform that lets engineering and security teams design, generate, and continuously validate secure cloud-native architectures before and after deployment. It is built for cloud architects, CISOs, and platform engineers who want to shift security 'left' into the design phase instead of patching after the fact.
