What is AISymmetric Aegis?

AISymmetric Aegis is the AI-augmented, ethical (white-hat) security arm of AISymmetric, an AI boutique consulting firm. Aegis delivers passive, authorized security assessments across the platforms businesses actually run on — Salesforce, AWS, Azure, GCP, LLM/AI systems, and compliance frameworks like SOC 2 and ISO 27001. Every assessment is read-only by default, non-destructive, and reviewed by a senior human practitioner.

What is the "AI asymmetry" in cybersecurity?

The AI asymmetry is the widening gap between AI-armed attackers and human-speed defenders. Adversaries now use large language models to discover flaws, write exploits, and scale attacks faster than traditional security teams can review them. AISymmetric Aegis closes that gap by putting the same AI leverage on the defender's side — AI-augmented, human-verified assessments that match the speed of modern threats.

How is AISymmetric Aegis different from a traditional penetration testing firm?

Three ways. First, coverage: traditional pen-test firms focus on the network perimeter, while Aegis assesses every layer a business runs on — Salesforce, cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP), LLM/AI systems, and compliance. Second, method: Aegis is AI-augmented and human-verified, so it covers more surface faster without dumping raw scanner output. Third, ethics: assessments are passive and read-only by default, and Aegis leads with a free findings-first Quick Scan rather than a sales call.

Is an Aegis security assessment safe to run on production systems?

Yes. Every Aegis assessment is passive and read-only by default, explicitly authorized in writing, and non-destructive. We assess configurations, permissions, and exposure — we do not exploit vulnerabilities or disrupt live systems. The goal is zero production impact, so assessments are safe to run against the environments you depend on.

Which platforms and systems does Aegis assess?

Aegis covers six surfaces: Salesforce (orgs, profiles, permissions, data exposure), AWS, Azure, and GCP (identity, storage exposure, misconfiguration), LLM/AI systems (prompt injection, data leakage, agent permissions), and compliance readiness (SOC 2, ISO 27001). This full-stack coverage reflects how modern businesses actually operate, rather than the network-only scope of legacy testing.

What is LLM (AI) security and why does it matter?

LLM security is the practice of protecting large-language-model and AI-agent systems from risks that traditional application security misses — prompt injection, sensitive-data leakage, jailbreaks, and over-permissioned agents that can take real actions. As companies deploy AI into customer-facing and internal workflows, these become live attack surfaces. Aegis tests for them and provides a governance framework to deploy AI safely.

Is the Aegis Quick Scan really free, and what does it show?

Yes, the Aegis Quick Scan is genuinely free, requires no login, and runs in under a minute. It's a passive, externally visible snapshot of a website's security posture — security headers, TLS configuration, exposure signals — giving you an immediate, honest read before any paid engagement or sales conversation.

How much does a full security assessment cost?

Pricing depends on scope — how many platforms are in play and the depth of review. Because Aegis starts every relationship with a free Quick Scan and a findings-first conversation, you see real value before committing. Contact AISymmetric Aegis for a scoped quote based on your specific environment.

How does Aegis help with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliance?

Aegis runs a gap assessment against SOC 2 or ISO 27001 controls, maps your existing policies and technical controls to the framework, identifies what's missing, and provides a remediation and evidence-tracking plan. Fractional CISO (vCISO) advisory is available to help turn assessment findings into an auditable, defensible security posture over time.

Who is behind AISymmetric Aegis?

AISymmetric Aegis is operated by AISymmetric, founded by Tyler Perleberg. AISymmetric is an AI boutique consulting firm that architects and builds enterprise AI systems — which is precisely why its security arm can secure AI the way it is actually built and deployed. The same practitioners who design AI solutions review the security of AI and cloud platforms under the Aegis brand.

How do I get started with AISymmetric Aegis?

Start with the free Aegis Quick Scan for an immediate passive snapshot, then request a scoped assessment. From there, Aegis agrees on scope, obtains written authorization, runs an AI-augmented and human-verified assessment across your platforms, and delivers a prioritized findings report with a remediation roadmap.

What is an AI security assessment?

An AI security assessment is a passive, authorized review of the platforms and AI systems a business runs on, surfacing real exposure and a prioritized remediation plan.

Definition

An AI security assessment is a structured, authorized evaluation of an organization's real attack surface — cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), SaaS like Salesforce, and any deployed LLM/AI systems — to identify exposure, misconfiguration, and excessive access. Done ethically, it is passive and read-only by default: it assesses, it does not exploit or disrupt.

What it covers

A modern assessment goes beyond the network perimeter. It reviews external exposure (headers, TLS, exposed services), identity and access (over-permissioned roles, guest and profile access), storage exposure and misconfiguration, and — increasingly — AI-specific risks like prompt injection and agent permissions. The point is to cover every layer the business actually runs on.

The process

A typical engagement runs in four steps. First, a free Quick Scan gives a passive external snapshot. Second, scope is agreed and authorized in writing. Third, an AI-augmented assessment covers the agreed surface, with a senior practitioner validating each finding. Fourth, you receive a prioritized findings report and a remediation roadmap.

What you receive

The deliverable is a clear report ranked by real risk — not a raw scanner dump — with each finding explained in context and paired with a concrete remediation step. For compliance-driven organizations, findings can be mapped to SOC 2 or ISO 27001 controls and tracked to closure with fractional CISO support.

Frequently asked

Is an AI security assessment safe to run on production systems?

Yes, when it's passive and read-only by default, explicitly authorized, and non-destructive. It assesses configuration, permissions, and exposure without exploiting vulnerabilities or disrupting live systems.

How is this different from a penetration test?

Traditional penetration tests focus on the network perimeter and often actively exploit. An AI security assessment covers every layer a business runs on — cloud, SaaS, and AI systems — and, done ethically, stays passive and read-only while still surfacing real, prioritized exposure.

How do I start?

Begin with a free, passive Quick Scan for an immediate read on externally visible exposure, then request a scoped assessment for full coverage.
