Thoughtworks started a strategic partnership with UK-based cybersecurity startup Advanced Cyber Defence Systems (ACDS) by providing Thoughtworks DAMO? AI-powered application managed services. Thoughtworks has been engaged to assess and advise on how to best advance the digital capabilities of ACDS' product offerings, particularly in the Continuous Threat & Exposure Management (CTEM) and Attack Surface Management (ASM) spaces, and evolve and transform its offerings to help enterprises proactively get ahead of attackers to mitigate cyber exposures.
The partnership launched in March 2024 with Thoughtworks conducting a thorough assessment of ACDS?s products, its digital infrastructure and industry landscape. The evaluation led to a focus on enhancing OBSERVATORY, ACDS? ASM product, which has gained significant traction in the US market.
The partnership is combining Thoughtworks? expertise in enterprise security and product design and development to help ACDS transform OBSERVATORY into an innovative and scalable solution, equipping enterprises to proactively handle the ever-evolving threat landscape. ACDS aims to leverage this engagement to position itself as a leader in proactive cybersecurity, by reverse-engineering real-world security pain points and incorporating cutting-edge technologies, including threat intelligence, offensive security, and artificial intelligence (AI) to delivering a product that not only identifies and mitigates threats but also sets new standards in the industry.
