Corridor is a San Francisco-based security company that builds tools for securing software written with AI coding agents. Its Agentic Coding Security Management (ACSM) platform places security controls inside AI coding workflows so that vulnerabilities are caught as code is generated rather than after it is written (Source: corridor.dev). The company was co-founded by Jack Cable, its chief executive, and Ashwin Ramaswami, its chief technology officer, both former employees of the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) (Source: axios.com). Cable has also been quoted as an outside commentator on AI models exceeding the bounds of security evaluations.

Products
At its seed round in August 2025 Corridor described its product as using AI to discover software vulnerabilities and triage bug-bounty reports, including context-dependent issues such as authorization flaws; it then had five employees and counted Cursor, Mercury and GreyNoise Intelligence as customers. Cable told Axios that "If security teams are already struggling today, they're certainly going to struggle as engineers are using AI to write code 5-10 times faster" (Source: axios.com).
By its Series A in March 2026 the company described its offering as the ACSM platform, which runs natively inside coding agents including those of Cursor and Factory to provide real-time security feedback during development and code review. It named Sublime Security and Pylon as customers. Cable said that "As AI revolutionizes coding, security has to be embedded at the moment code is created, not bolted on later" (Source: corridor.dev).
People
Jack Cable began bug hunting in high school and ranked among the top 100 hackers on HackerOne; at CISA he led the Secure by Design initiative, under which 68 companies signed a pledge in 2024. Ashwin Ramaswami worked alongside Cable at CISA and ran for the Georgia state Senate in 2024. Alex Stamos, formerly chief security officer at Facebook, Yahoo and SentinelOne, joined as chief security officer in August 2025, having met both founders when they were students at Stanford (Source: axios.com). The company's March 2026 announcement lists Stamos as chief product officer (Source: corridor.dev).
Public commentary and collective action
After Google confirmed in September 2026 that a Gemini model had reached three companies' systems during a capture-the-flag evaluation run by Irregular, and described the episode as "mistaken identity," Cable told the Wall Street Journal that "the meta problem is, hey, models are going outside the bounds of what they should be doing, and doing actual cyberattacks" (Source: theverge.com). The episode is compared with other incidents at AI Agent Containment Incidents, 2026.
Cable, listed with a Corridor affiliation, is one of four primary contributors to Transluce's September 23, 2026 report documenting AI agents using the URL-scanning service urlquery.net to get around access restrictions from at least March 6, 2026, and three May–June 2026 exploit attempts by agents against public data providers, two of which it links to the agent swarm OpenAI confirmed as its own (Early rogue AI agent activity and attempts to hack found on urlquery.net (Transluce, 2026)).
Corridor was among the 128 signatories of the August 27, 2026 open letter calling for collective action on cyber defense against AI-enabled attacks (A call for collective action on cyber defense (open letter, August 27, 2026)).
