Reach Security Unveils MastermindAI™: The AI Platform Purpose-Built to Find & Fix Hidden Risk

MastermindAI™ powers Reach's core capabilities enabling critical use cases like AI Governance and cross-platform posture management at a time when security costs are rising, impact is unclear, and remediation remains high-friction.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Reach Security today introduced MastermindAI™, its purpose-built AI engine powered by a mixture of precise Reasoning Models and Domain-Specific Language Models (DSLMs) that enable a new wave of capabilities to help organizations move from detection to action, fixing misconfigurations, enforcing policy intent, and reducing exposure using the tools they already own.

New updates span three core areas: threat exposure management, posture management, and configuration management. Each is powered by MastermindAI's precise understanding of how real-world controls are deployed, used, and often misused across complex environments.

"Security teams don't need another glorified chatbot," said Colt Blackmore, CTO and co-founder at Reach. "They need AI that understands what matters most for their business, their people, and their tools. MastermindAI™ is trained on real-world security data, not the collected works of Shakespeare. It's precise, explainable, and purpose-built to reduce exposure."

AI That Powers Action

MastermindAI™ is tightly integrated into Reach's core workflow, enabling four critical security outcomes:

• Identify Exposure – MastermindAI™ helps uncover misconfigurations, underused controls, and hidden gaps that traditional tools miss.
• Prioritize Action – It determines which issues matter most based on reachability, attacker behavior, policy alignment, and the potential impact to legitimate users.
• Guide Remediation – It delivers clear, context-aware recommendations and step-by-step fixes, integrated with tools like Jira and ServiceNow.
• Continuously Validate – It tracks configuration drift and posture breakdowns, ensuring defenses remain effective over time.

Governing the Use of Generative AI

One emerging application of MastermindAI™ is helping organizations govern the safe use of generative AI. As businesses embrace tools like ChatGPT and Copilot, Reach enables visibility and enforcement across the network, file, and endpoint layers. MastermindAI™ interprets policy intent, detects violations, and recommends actions aligned with security standards without blocking innovation.

"We keep seeing breaches caused by the same failures: misconfigured tools, unchecked access, controls that no one realized were sitting idle," said Nicole Perlroth, bestselling author and host of To Catch a Thief. "The stories I'm hearing in the podcast are a wake-up call. We need tools that help security teams act faster before risk becomes exposure. That's exactly the problem Reach is solving."
 

"The most promising security companies today aren't just surfacing risk, they're helping teams fix it, fast," said Barmak Meftah, Partner at Ballistic Ventures and Startup Launch Pad judge at RSA Conference 2025. "Reach is a prime example. It's bringing precision to the hardest part of security: turning insight into action."
 

With MastermindAI™ at the core of its architecture, Reach delivers purpose-built AI for operationalizing security strategy enabling security teams to find and fix hidden risk faster, and with more confidence, than ever before.
