Tolmo GTM brain

Tolmo provides AI security agents that discover, test and remediate risks across production software environments.

category

Agentic cloud and application security

market profile

  • text: AI-assisted software development accelerates changes while security teams must triage risks across code, cloud and production infrastructure.
  • text: Security teams need context to distinguish exploitable production risks from isolated alerts.

personas

  • title: CISO or VP Security
    pains:
    • Security capacity cannot match production change velocity
    • Risk reporting is fragmented across tools and lacks impact context
  • title: Head of application security
    pains:
    • Developers receive excessive theoretical findings
    • Needs actionable fixes that reflect real deployment dependencies
  • title: Cloud security engineer
    pains:
    • Asset inventory and identity relationships span multiple systems
    • Manual investigation and remediation slows response

icp

  • text: Cloud-native software companies with production applications, continuous deployment and dedicated security or platform engineering teams.
  • text: Organizations with multiple cloud services, CI systems and security vendors, especially those increasing AI-generated code output.

message pillars

  • text: Keep security aligned with rapid software change.
  • text: Connect findings to live production context.
  • text: Move from alerts to demonstrable fixes.

objections

  • objection: We already have cloud and application security tools.
    response: Evaluate whether the production graph correlates existing sources and reduces investigation time on a representative set of findings.
  • objection: Granting an agent access to production is risky.
    response: Review the read-only connection scope and establish human approval for proposed fixes during a pilot.
  • objection: Automated findings may be noisy.
    response: Compare evidence of exploitability and fix quality against the team's existing triage process.
