What GhostEye does
Right now, someone could look up your employees online, craft a perfect phishing email using what they find, and get into your systems by lunch. Or just call your help desk and pretend to be a new hire. No malware. No exploit. Just a conversation. GhostEye does this first. We continuously map your employees' real-world exposure the same way a threat actor would, then automatically generate and launch personalized phishing attacks, scam calls, texts, and deepfakes to test them before the real thing hits. Every attack is unique because every employee's exposure is unique. Quantified human risk scores that track over time. Employees shown exactly how they were compromised. Not a training platform. A security tool.

Vulnerability Management for the Human Layer
We built GhostEye to continuously identify how exposed an organization's employees are to social engineering attacks. The product maps each employee's online footprint and generates personalized phishing emails, scam calls, texts, and deepfakes to test their resilience before actual attackers hit. It produces risk scores and shows employees exactly how they were compromised. This isn't a generic training tool - it's a security system simulating the human attack vectors real hackers exploit.
We live in New York, NY, and will base the company here after YC.
We are rooted in New York where our team and early customers are based, giving us direct access to enterprise security teams and real-world feedback. Post-YC, we'll keep operating here to stay close to our network and talent.
