Ghost Security 👻

Cybersecurity’s been stuck. We’re breaking it. Josh Larsen, our co-founder, CTO, and the driving force behind our open-source project Reaper, rarely steps in front of the camera. But when he does, you listen. In this video, he reveals how Ghost Security is tackling outdated tools, cutting through AI hype, and setting a new standard for the industry. It’s bold. It’s different. And it’s just the beginning. 👻

Agentic AI 🤝 Cybersecurity 2025 is being called the year of Agentic AI, and we couldn’t agree more. But what will it really mean for cybersecurity? 🤖 This week, our CEO Greg Martin will be joining Resilient Cyber to dive into how Agentic AI is reshaping areas like SecOps, GRC, and AppSec. If you’re curious about how this tech is disrupting traditional approaches to cybersecurity, you won’t want to miss it. 👻 https://lnkd.in/gp8PTu3F

🚨 2024: The Year of Ghost 🚨 We made vulnerabilities shiver, turned heads with a bold new look, and proved that appsec can move fast—on and off the track. In this year’s final Paranormal Pulse, we’re taking a look back: 👻 Reaper dropped just in time to scare bugs everywhere. 🎨 Our sleek new brand had the appsec world doing double-takes. 🔒 SOC2 compliance? Locked down. No sweat. 🏎️ Oh, and we hit the gas with our racing team because speed isn’t just for apps. 2025? We’re coming for you. Read the recap and see how we’re leveling up. 👻
