Hot off the press. Our co-founder/CEO Garrett Hamilton just published a new piece in SecuritySenses on how AI is reshaping security infrastructure and what the next decade of cybersecurity will demand. Why reactive security isn’t enough anymore Decades of “assume breach + whack-a-mole” defense has left prevention under-resourced. The real risks today are invisible drift & complexity Misconfigurations and environment changes create exploitable gaps faster than teams can track. Tool sprawl is out of control Dozens of disconnected security tools generate noise without giving architects clarity on exposure. Silent failures go unnoticed Controls degrade quietly when governance and visibility are weak. AI can help, if it’s built for cybersecurity Domain-specific models tuned to security contexts can reduce drift and misconfiguration risk safely.

Today, I’m thrilled to announce that @chisellabs has been acquired by @pendoio ! For years, we've honed AI to boost PM productivity so they can focus on strategy, customer adoption and revenue. It’s been a joy to see PMs reclaim precious hours thanks to our PM AI Agent. Yet, a complete solution demands deep insights and analytics to better understand how the AI agents are being used and measure their true impact. During my conversations with the Pendo leadership team (@tolson , Rahul and Saurabh), it became clear that Pendo is also building agentic AI that accelerates core product management work. They have the most compelling vision for PM agents and agentic analytics that I have seen. We also share strong values and mutual respect, creating the foundation for a great partnership. Together, we can build the holistic PM AI Agent and PM AI Cloud we have always envisioned. In addition to Pendo’s amazing products, I have also been a huge fan of Pendo’s commitment to building a great PM community (@MindtheProduct , @producttank , @prodcollective ). I am excited to continue championing these community efforts from within Pendo. Many thanks to my entire team in Chisel India and special thanks to Niraj for leading our India team over the past 5+ years and partnering with me. I look forward to continuing our work as all of us join Pendo. I’m also grateful to our investors – Owen Davis, Matt Gorin (Contour Venture Partners), @atShruti (@arrayvc), @wesleybarrow (@CorrelationVC ), Yousuf Khan, @Rosenrosen (@ridgevc) and Sandeep Sardana (BluePointe Ventures) for supporting us at every step of this journey. This wouldn’t be possible without the support we’ve received from our customers, and partners. We extend a sincere thank you for being with us since the very beginning and we invite you to continue the journey to Craft Amazing Products!
