CEO Interview: Simbian
Simbian bets $90B security-services market is ripe for AI automation as human capacity hits its ceiling.
Simbian bets $90B security-services market is ripe for AI automation as human capacity hits its ceiling.
The security industry's real vulnerability isn't the $120B spent on tools—it's the $90B services layer that still depends on scarce human talent. Simbian CEO Ambuj Kumar argues that AI-driven attacks are outpacing human response capacity, making automated security operations inevitable rather than optional. The company is positioning itself to replace or augment managed security services at scale, targeting a market that has largely escaped the automation wave hitting adjacent sectors.
Watch: whether Simbian can displace entrenched MSSPs or merely augments them—that distinction will define its ceiling.
Ambuj Kumar , CEO of Simbian , tells CB Insights how they view the market, customer needs, and their company. How do you define your market, and where does your company fit into that space? We spend about $120B every year on security products, but we also spend $90B on security services where we use those products and manage them to keep our organization secure. However, there is a talent shortage, and with AI being used on the attack side, creating new types of attacks that have not been seen earlier, relying just on humans is not going to be enough. So, there is a need to automate security services, and this is exactly what Simbian does. Want to see more research? Start your free trial . If you’re already a customer, log in here.
