Theory of Change
Wavefront Security's theory of change is that many high-impact organizations working on AI safety, biosecurity, and global catastrophic risks are operationally vulnerable to cybersecurity threats, yet lack the resources to hire dedicated security staff. By providing at-cost professional cybersecurity services to these organizations, Wavefront reduces the risk of data breaches, communications interception, and other security failures that could undermine their effectiveness or expose sensitive information. Protecting the operational security of key players in the AI safety and existential risk reduction ecosystem allows those organizations to pursue their missions more safely, reducing the chance that important work is derailed by preventable security incidents.
