Leading Cybersecurity Software Companies Launch AI Proving Grounds Consortium to Help Enterprises Build Trust in AI

Published

on

New coalition unites C-level executives, Heads SOC, and AI / Innovation leaders with cybersecurity experts to rigorously train, test, and prove AI defenses in production-like environments; inaugural virtual event scheduled for June 18, 2026

BOSTON, June 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Corelight, Dropzone AI, SCYTHE, SimSpace, and Sondera today announced the formation of the AI Proving Grounds Consortium (AIPGC), a coalition of cybersecurity experts that helps C-level, SOC, and AI / Innovation leaders quickly and safely move from a proactive cyber defense posture to preemptive cyber resilience by rigorously training, testing, and proving their AI defenses before deploying them to production.

The AIPGC addresses one of the industry’s most urgent challenges: ensuring organizations can trust AI systems operating in mission-critical security environments.

“We’re in an unprecedented time; the weaponization of AI is bigger than any one organization can handle alone. That’s why we’re forming the AIPGC: to pool our collective ideas and cyber expertise to fuel preemptive defenses for the world’s leading organizations,” said Peter Lee, CEO of SimSpace and the primary organizer behind the AIPGC. “AI is transforming cybersecurity at extraordinary speed, but confidence alone is not enough. Organizations need a way to rigorously train, test, and validate AI agents together with human cyber operators under realistic conditions before those teams and systems can be trusted in production.”

The Consortium was formed in response to a widening industry gap between perceived readiness and operational preparedness. Recent SimSpace research found that nearly 80% of security leaders report high confidence in their AI defenses, while measured readiness scores can be as low as 30% before repeated simulation exercises. Additionally, many organizations continue to rely on legacy preparedness methods, including tabletop exercises and certification courses, rather than realistic simulation-driven validation.

The AIPGC aims to help organizations close that gap by enabling leaders to stress-test AI agents and human teams in production-like environments that model sophisticated, real-world adversarial behavior. Through collaboration, training, live exercises, and executive-level discussions, the Consortium seeks to help enterprises safely accelerate AI adoption while strengthening cyber resilience.

The founding Consortium partner organizations include Corelight, Dropzone AI, Scythe, SimSpace, and Sondera.

“AI is becoming a core member of the security team, but trust is the prerequisite for adoption in the SOC. It has to be proven,” said Edward Wu, Founder and CEO of Dropzone AI. “The future of the SOC isn’t a single AI agent. It’s multiple AI agents working together, alongside human analysts, across investigations, threat hunting, intelligence and response. As AI takes on a bigger role in security operations, trust is earned through visibility into how these systems perform in real environments, under real operational pressure, before relying on them in production. This consortium can help establish the benchmarks and standards organizations need to confidently adopt AI and accelerate its full operational impact on security.”

As part of the launch, the AIPGC will host its inaugural virtual event, Move from Proactive Defense to Preemptive Resilience, on Thursday, June 18, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. ET. The 90-minute program will feature a keynote presentation from FC, also known as Freakyclown, Co-Founder of Cygenta and former Head of Offensive Cyber Research at Raytheon, followed by a panel discussion and live Q&A focused on building trust in AI prior to deployment to production. To register, click here.

The event will bring together C-level executives, Heads SOC, and AI / Innovation leaders with cybersecurity experts to discuss how organizations can proactively validate AI-driven systems and human performance against evolving threats before introducing those technologies into live production environments.

Organizations interested in joining the Consortium, participating in upcoming events, or requesting the AIPGC Charter can learn more at www.aipgc.ai.

Vanderhall Activates BOSS 200 Program, Signaling Customer-First Strategy and Disciplined Path to Scaled Growth

Published

on

By

PROVO, Utah, June 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Vanderhall North America, LLC today announced the public activation of its BOSS 200 (Brawley Ownership Support System) program, a customer-first initiative created to support the company’s earliest Vanderhall Brawley owners as production resumes with renewed operational focus.

While the program formally began in February, Vanderhall North America intentionally delayed public rollout to spend time directly engaging with customers, listening to ownership feedback, and better understanding how the company could most effectively support early Brawley owners. Those conversations helped shape the structure and implementation of BOSS 200, ensuring the program reflected real-world customer needs rather than assumptions.

With that process now substantially complete, BOSS 200 is being formally introduced to the market, with remaining qualifying vehicles also extending program benefits to new customers.

Customers enrolled in the program are now receiving personalized digital welcome communications, with bespoke physical welcome packages arriving in the coming weeks.

“Brawley is an ambitious platform, and early customers gave us invaluable feedback,” said Kasey Evans, Chief Executive Officer of Vanderhall.
“We made a conscious decision to listen first, make improvements, and then build a program that reflects what our customers actually need. BOSS 200 is a result of that process.”

The program includes enhanced transferable warranty coverage, concierge-level support, and ongoing communication surrounding product updates and improvements. Existing BOSS 200 vehicles receive an additional 24 months of warranty coverage beginning February 25, 2026, while newly registered qualifying vehicles receive 24 months of coverage beginning at the date of purchase or warranty registration.

The activation of BOSS 200 comes as Vanderhall North America resumes production with increased emphasis on quality control, supplier alignment, and internal validation processes—signaling a broader operational shift toward disciplined execution and scalable growth.

“Confidence is built through actions, not timelines,” Evans added.
“This is about building trust with our customers and creating a platform we can scale responsibly.”

About Vanderhall North America

Vanderhall North America, LLC is a premium American vehicle manufacturer focused on electric, design-forward driving experiences. With the introduction of the Brawley, the company has entered the off-road EV segment with a category-defining platform that combines performance, technology, and distinctive design.
