Secure.com vs Bricklayer AI
Both companies sell a team of AI agents rather than one assistant, and both lean on shared context to make the team work. The split shows up in how wide the team reaches and what happens before an agent changes anything.

Selling a team of AI agents rather than a single assistant, each with a role and shared context.
The agents have to cover cloud, code and offensive work, and every action needs an approver.
You want a coordinated agent team pointed at security operations, from an early stage builder.
The short version
Bricklayer is building coordinated agent teams for the SOC. Secure.com runs the same idea across four functions with approval on each action.
Bricklayer AI raised a $5 million seed round led by Tech Square Ventures in late 2025 and has since shipped what it calls Multi-Agent Context Engineering, aimed at coordinated security operations at enterprise scale. The concept overlaps heavily with Secure.com's own, which is that agents working from one context beat agents working alone. The differences are scope and control. Bricklayer points its agent team at security operations. Secure.com points four teammates at the SOC, cloud posture, offensive testing and application security, and puts scope, approval and audit on each consequential action rather than on the platform as a whole. Bricklayer is also the earlier company of the two, which cuts both ways for a buyer.
Pick Bricklayer if coordinated agents inside security operations is the exact shape of the problem. Pick Secure.com if the same coordination has to reach cloud, code and offensive validation.
What this page does not claim
That Bricklayer lacks shared context between agents.
Multi-Agent Context Engineering is the part of their product built for exactly that.
That Secure.com invented the agent team model.
Several vendors on this list sell a version of it, and one of them ships it under the teammate name as well.
Any percentage figure for noise reduction or for how much Tier 1 work Secure.com clears.
Those numbers are not published, so they are not used here.
That Secure.com invented governed AI, or that it is alone in offering approval controls.
Several vendors on this list describe governance of their own.
Two different answers to the same pressure
Two products built on the same bet, that a coordinated team of agents beats one clever assistant. They disagree on how far the team should reach.
Choose Secure.com if
- The agent team needs to cover cloud posture and application risk, not only security operations.
- You want offensive testing to prove what is reachable and set the order of the fix list.
- Approvals have to be provable per action, with scope, an approver and an audit record.
- You would rather buy one function now than back a full roster on day one.
Choose Bricklayer AI if
- Security operations is the whole mandate and you want agents coordinated inside it.
- You are comfortable backing an early stage builder and want influence over the roadmap.
- Your estate is not on AWS, which Secure.com needs as a minimum today.
- Your buying process favours a smaller, more adaptable vendor.
Four phases, and a real chance to fail
Secure.com follows the same pattern every time, copied from a nine week proof with an external customer. Success criteria get written down on day one, and so do failure criteria, because a proof that cannot fail proves nothing.
Baseline first
Measure your world before anything changes. Current volumes, current handling time, current backlog. Without a baseline there is nothing to compare against later.
Connect two sources
A read only cloud role plus one alert source is enough to begin. Your team keeps control of the role and can revoke it at any time.
Run inside scope
One teammate takes one function. Every consequential action carries scope, an approval step, a kill switch and an audit record of who approved what.
Prove, then widen
Compare against the baseline against the criteria you set. Add a second teammate only once the first has earned it.
Same bet on agent teams, different reach and different brakes
The interesting thing about this pairing is how much the two agree. Both reject the single assistant model. Both say context shared between agents is what makes the team useful. From there they part. Bricklayer deepens coordination inside security operations and has done it on a seed round, which means a small team moving quickly. Secure.com spreads the same idea across four functions and slows each consequential action down behind an approval step. Neither choice is obviously right. The question is whether your next year of risk sits inside the SOC or spreads out from it.
The research scored every vendor on two things. First, how far a tool carries a piece of work, from surfacing information at one end to owning a governed, verified resolution at the other. Second, how much of the security lifecycle it covers, from one narrow job to several domains sharing one context. Most funded players score high on the first axis inside a single function. Secure.com is built to hold the second axis without giving up approval control on the first.
Where Bricklayer AI is stronger todayMulti-Agent Context Engineering is a focused, recent piece of work on coordinating agents, published in more depth than Secure.com's equivalent.
A smaller company can move faster on specific requests, and an early customer usually gets more influence on direction.
Agent coordination inside security operations is their whole attention rather than one of four areas.
Five things that change when the work is governed
These are the parts of the Secure.com model that hold up against every vendor on the comparison list. None of them are claims about who has more AI.
Offense decides what defense fixes
The Red AI Teammate runs 51 real offensive tools inside rules of engagement that fail closed and carry a live kill switch. What it proves exploitable is what the defensive teammates harden first, so the fix list is ordered by what an attacker could actually reach. Red Teaming is early access today.
Approval sits on the action, not on a mode switch
Scope, permission, approval, escalation and audit are set per action rather than as one global autonomy toggle. Teammates see, prioritize and recommend, and execution runs through approvals with a kill switch and a full record. Fully automatic remediation is on the near term roadmap and never goes in a contract.
One function is worth buying on its own
A single teammate owns a function, works from your context and gets sharper from its own prior decisions. You are not buying a roster or waiting on a cross product story to arrive before the first invoice makes sense.
Four teammates, one shared map
SOC, Cloud Security, Red Team and AppSec read the same picture of your environment, so a finding moves between functions without anyone rebuilding context by hand. The second teammate makes the first more useful.
Your data stays portable
Findings and evidence rest in open industry formats that are readable and exportable if you ever leave. Direct query access with your own tools does not exist yet, so that is not offered here.
The honest prerequisites
Secure.com runs in the cloud. Nothing installs on your premises, and on premises or air gapped estates are not supported.
The minimum is an AWS estate and a read only role you create in your own account. Azure setup guidance is in progress and Google Cloud onboarding is not offered yet.
Results get better when you connect your alert sources and your ticketing. Ticketing today means Jira or Asana, and approvals come through Slack.
Endpoint protection, user behavior analytics, OT and ICS environments, and GRC assessment as a product are all outside what Secure.com does.
