In the world of operational technology, a single breach can mean more than data loss—it can endanger lives. Traffic signals failing, power grids collapsing, water treatment systems compromised. As IT and OT systems converged, the attack surface expanded exponentially, but the pool of professionals who truly understood both worlds remained dangerously small.

Type11 was born from this critical gap. Our founders witnessed firsthand how the rapid digitalization of critical infrastructure outpaced the security expertise needed to protect it. They saw brilliant IT professionals struggle with industrial protocols, and experienced OT engineers overwhelmed by modern cyber threats. The skills shortage wasn't just a staffing problem—it was a public safety crisis.

Driven by a passion for creating a safer world, we built Ember not as another automated tool that promises to replace human judgment, but as an AI partner that bridges the IT/OT divide. Ember amplifies the expertise of security professionals, helping them navigate the complexities of cyber-physical systems with the confidence that comes from having an intelligent ally who never sleeps.

Today, Type11 stands at the intersection of human expertise and artificial intelligence, committed to our founding belief: in the high-stakes world of critical infrastructure security, the best defense isn't human or machine—it's both, working together as one.
