What they build
Penten was founded in Canberra in 2014 to work on secure mobility and applied AI for defence and national security clients. Their Applied AI unit built deception.ai and TrapDocs, generating machine-learning-produced decoy files and traffic to detect and track intruders, which is a deception-focused variant of blue team detection. Penten merged with UK-based Amiosec in 2024 to form PentenAmio, keeping the Canberra operation.
