Real security. Real experience. Real impact.
CinderLabs is a founder-led AI security firm. We build a real product (AIRA) and we deliver senior services (vCISO, pen testing, AI risk). The same practitioner is in both rooms.
Built by a 30-year practitioner who got tired of watching the same mistakes.
CinderLabs exists because AI risk is moving faster than the security industry's response. EDR vendors are bolting AI features onto products designed for files. DLP vendors are adding AI categories to engines designed for SaaS. CASBs are watching sanctioned cloud while shadow AI runs around them.
We started building AIRA because the right answer is a platform built for AI risk from day one, and a senior practitioner who has actually broken into the systems your auditors are now asking about.
Founder
Jeromie Jackson
30 years in offensive and defensive cybersecurity leadership. Author of AI Is the Next Internet: Leadership, Authority, and the Cost of Waiting. Built and led security programs in financial services, healthcare, and SaaS. Speaks publicly on AI security, governance, and the practical realities of running a program when AI is in the building.
Three things that shape every engagement.
Offense informs defense
Every recommendation is grounded in how attackers actually behave, not how a framework says they might. Decades of red-team work shapes the platform and the services.
Senior in the room
The lead on every engagement is a senior practitioner. No bait-and-switch to junior or offshore staff after kickoff. If the founder pitched it, the founder is on it.
Build, don't just advise
Most consultancies hand off a deck and walk away. We help execute. The AIRA platform is the deliverable that keeps living after the slides are filed.
