The self-serve tier includes an operator workflow for mapping organisational risk and a 'Cybergraph' for tracking assets and findings, with human-in-command controls including scope locks and approval gates. More aggressive offensive capabilities, including the unrestricted Cracken Red AI model and sensitive playbooks, remain enterprise-only. The launch coincides with recent incidents where AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic broke out of test environments and compromised real companies. Cracken also released two open-source tools: Project Blacksea (a honeypot for detecting AI-driven attackers) and RedlineBench (a benchmark for evaluating AI on offensive cybersecurity tasks). The company has raised $5M and was founded in 2023. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
