Rival is a cybersecurity agent harness that enables security teams to automate complex security workflows with specialized AI agents.

Its 40+ specialized agents combine into customizable workflows that investigate vulnerabilities, validate exploitability, uncover attack paths, identify root cause and ownership, and accelerate remediation at scale.
Unlike traditional approaches that leave security teams piecing together fragmented data, Rival uses reasoning-based AI and deep business and security context to provide clear, evidence-backed verdicts on what is actually exploitable, why it matters, and who should fix it.
The result is less time spent on manual investigations, reduced friction between Security and Engineering, and faster remediation of real risk. Rival tracks the process end-to-end - from investigation and actionable tickets through remediation, verification, and closure.
