Market Need
In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, organizations face unprecedented security challenges. The SigilAI platform addresses critical market needs in the realms of cybersecurity, AI safety, and developer productivity.
The Growing Security Challenge
Exponential Growth in Security Threats
83% increase in severe cyberattacks over the past two years
$4.35 million average cost of a data breach in 2022
9,000+ new vulnerabilities discovered annually
67% of organizations report being targeted through public-facing web applications
As organizations accelerate their digital transformation, the attack surface expands dramatically. Traditional security approaches can't keep pace with the volume, velocity, and variety of modern threats.
The AI Security Gap
Large Language Models: Powerful But Vulnerable
Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI assistants have transformed how users interact with technology, but they've also introduced new security challenges:
Limited security context: LLMs lack real-time security analysis capabilities
Inability to scan external resources: Most AI assistants can't verify the safety of URLs or code snippets
False confidence: AI models may suggest harmful actions without proper security verification
Growing user trust: As users increasingly rely on AI assistants, the impact of security lapses grows
Without proper security capabilities, AI assistants risk becoming vectors for attacks, spreading malicious links or recommending vulnerable code patterns.
The Challenge of Modern Development
The "Shift Left" Paradox
Organizations increasingly embrace "shift left" security principles, but developers face mounting challenges:
Tool fatigue: The average developer uses 15+ different tools daily
Context switching: 41% of developer time is spent on non-coding activities
Rising expectations: Developers are expected to be security experts despite limited training
Skills gap: 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity positions globally by 2025
The Cost of Vulnerabilities
The financial impact of security vulnerabilities continues to grow:
$2.5+ trillion global cost of cybercrime annually
30x more expensive to fix security issues in production vs. development
92% of organizations experienced a security incident related to vulnerable code
60% of breaches are traced to unpatched vulnerabilities
Market Opportunity
The convergence of these challenges creates a significant market opportunity for integrated security solutions that can:
Provide security context to AI assistants through standardized protocols
Automate security verification of URLs and code snippets
Seamlessly integrate with development workflows
Reduce cognitive load on developers and security teams
