About Krypteia

In ancient Sparta, the Krypteia was the most secretive and elite institution in one of history's most formidable military societies. Selected from the best young warriors, Krypteia operatives were sent into the world with nothing but their cunning, tasked with surviving through stealth, intelligence gathering, and covert operations.

The Krypteia served a dual purpose: it tested the resolve and capability of Sparta's future leaders while simultaneously probing the defenses of the society itself. These operatives thought like adversaries, finding weaknesses before real enemies could exploit them.

This philosophy - that the best defense comes from understanding the attacker's perspective - is as relevant today as it was thousands of years ago. The battlefield has changed, but the principle endures.

Krypteia Security carries the spirit of those ancient operatives into the age of artificial intelligence. As organizations race to deploy AI systems - large language models, autonomous agents, AI-powered applications - the attack surface is expanding faster than most security teams can track.

Traditional penetration testing was built for traditional software. SQL injection, XSS, and buffer overflows are well-understood threats with mature defenses. But AI systems introduce entirely new categories of vulnerability: prompt injection, jailbreaking, model extraction, training data poisoning, and adversarial manipulation.

We exist to close that gap. Krypteia Security specializes in offensive security research for AI systems, developing and sharing the techniques, tools, and knowledge needed to secure the next generation of technology.
