Siemba Launches Siemba MCP, Connecting Its Offensive Security Platform Directly to AI Assistants

Published

on

Six packaged skills turn a plain-English question into finished security analysis. No dashboard, no separate login, no context switch.

ATLANTA, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Siemba, an offensive security company that combines attack surface mapping, autonomous testing and expert-led penetration testing in one continuous program, today announced the general availability of Siemba MCP. Siemba MCP is a Model Context Protocol server, distributed as a single plugin containing the connector and six named skills, that connects Siemba’s security data and testing capabilities directly to AI assistants. Security and engineering teams can ask a plain-English question inside their existing AI client and get finished security analysis back, without opening a separate console.

Each of the six skills is invoked with a simple command and runs a packaged workflow built on the Siemba platform’s underlying test orchestration and analysis tools.

“You can now run pentests by chatting with your LLM. The MCP server gives your assistant the platform itself, not a summary of it,” said Kannan Udayarajan, CEO of Siemba. “You name a target, and Siemba enumerates it, creates the right test suite, and starts running, all automatically. You can then deploy our skills to do the next level of expert analysis and reporting. That’s a meaningfully different way of working than logging into a dashboard to go find the same answer and then doing your analysis and reporting on spreadsheets.”

What Siemba MCP can do: six skills

Siemba MCP ships with six skills at general availability:

Test Analysis explains a running, failed or completed penetration test in plain language. The skill reads login screenshots to diagnose the most common cause of a failed authenticated run: a bad credential or an unexpected multi-factor prompt.Kill Chain maps individual findings into the attack paths they form. Siemba MCP rates each chain by its weakest link rather than by raw severity, then names the single fix that breaks the most chains at once. This reasoning across separate, individually low-severity findings is the skill that best demonstrates what an AI assistant adds to a security workflow.Critical Briefing pulls every Critical and High finding across the estate into one executive briefing, ranked by Siemba’s risk score, with regressed findings called out separately from new ones.Remediation Plan groups findings that share a root cause into a single fix, then sequences the work list by leverage: risk removed per unit of effort.Attack Surface reviews everything an organization exposes to the internet, including domains, subdomains, certificates, TLS configuration, registrars, geographies and monitoring coverage, and names the gaps between what is live and what is actually being watched.CISO Report generates a board-ready posture report that leads with direction of travel (improving, stable or worsening) and maps every finding to a specific control across seven compliance frameworks: ISO 27001, HIPAA, OWASP, GDPR, CMMC, NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 and PCI DSS v4.0.

How Siemba MCP is secured

Every call through Siemba MCP is secured by OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, requires multi-factor authentication, uses rotating tokens, is rate-limited and is scoped to the requesting account only. If a session is compromised, access is contained to one user’s permissions, on that customer’s assets only, with non-destructive actions only, for a maximum of one hour, fully logged.

Availability

Siemba MCP is available today to customers on the Siemba platform bundled at no additional cost. It is compatible with MCP-enabled AI clients and setup instructions and the server endpoint are at https://mcp.app.siemba.com/#connect

About Siemba

Siemba combines attack surface mapping, autonomous dynamic testing, AI-driven vulnerability assessment, and expert-led penetration testing into one continuous program. Its certified in-house pentesters are trusted by the Big 4, and every fix is revalidated automatically on the platform and expert-signed on engagements. Siemba covers web, mobile, cloud, and AI systems including large language models and AI agents. Headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia, Siemba has been named a Sample Vendor in the Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Application Security, the Gartner Hype Cycle for Security Operations, and the Gartner Hype Cycle for XaaS (Everything as a Service) in 2024, 2025 and 2026.

LeoSight and Axis Communications Unite Video and Sensor Intelligence for More Coordinated Public Safety Response

Published

By

Native integrations bring Axis video, body-worn solutions, metadata, and sensor intelligence into LeoCommand and connect teams through LeoLink.

DALLAS, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LeoSight, a leader in unified incident command software for public safety, today announced a new partnership with Axis Communications, a global leader in network video and physical security technology. The partnership brings native integrations for Axis video management and body-worn solutions into LeoCommand, LeoSight’s situational awareness platform, helping agencies strengthen officer safety, operational efficiency, and real-time coordination.

Through the integrations, agencies can bring live video, metadata, and sensor intelligence from Axis devices and systems into LeoCommand. AXIS Camera Station Pro, Axis IP cameras, and Axis body-worn solutions can contribute trusted visual intelligence to the same operational map as officer locations, vehicle data, drone feeds, and other connected public safety systems.

This unified view helps command staff and dispatchers assess incidents as they develop, while LeoSight’s secure communications platform, LeoLink, enables relevant information to be shared with field personnel and partner agencies. Teams can coordinate around the same real-time intelligence without relying on separate systems or fragmented communication channels.

Designed for daily operations, critical incident response, and multi-agency coordination, the integrations help agencies turn video and sensor data into shared operational awareness. LeoSight’s scalable architecture also supports deployments across agencies and jurisdictions, allowing authorized teams to collaborate while maintaining secure access to the information they need.

“By integrating AXIS Camera Station Pro, Axis IP cameras, and body-worn solutions with LeoSight, agencies can bring trusted video and real-time insights into LeoSight’s shared operational map alongside other critical response data,” said Dean Cunningham, Axis Segment Development Manager for Public Safety. “Together, Axis and LeoSight give responders the same real-time picture, helping them coordinate faster and act with greater clarity.”

For public safety agencies, video is most valuable when it becomes part of a broader operational picture. Connecting trusted visual intelligence with communications and other real-time data helps teams understand what is happening, align their response, and act with greater confidence.

“Public safety teams should not have to piece together an incident across separate screens, systems, and conversations,” said Mark Wood, CEO of LeoSight. “By bringing Axis video and sensor intelligence into LeoCommand and making it shareable through LeoLink, we are helping command staff, dispatchers, and field personnel operate from the same real-time picture. That shared understanding supports faster coordination, safer response, and better decisions when every second matters.”

The partnership expands LeoSight’s ecosystem of public safety technology providers across drones, cameras, body-worn video, sensors, and other real-time public safety technologies.

About LeoSight

LeoSight helps public safety agencies communicate, coordinate, and respond as one team. Our platform connects law enforcement, fire, EMS, and emergency management across jurisdictions, bringing together secure communications, live operational visibility, and collaborative workflows in a single operational environment. By helping agencies overcome fragmented systems and disconnected teams, LeoSight enables faster coordination, clearer decision-making, and more unified response during both daily operations and critical incidents.
