Ares Turns One

One year ago, on June 9th, 2025, Ares came to life. What began as a bold idea, an autonomous red teaming platform built to think and act like a real adversary, has spent the past year proving what offensive security can become when you put an autonomous attacker to work on APIs, web applications, and mobile applications. Ares has grown up fast, and we want to celebrate her first birthday with the community that has shaped her journey. Join Assail on Monday, June 15th, 2026, from 4:30 to 6:30 PM at our office at 100 Causeway Street, 8th Floor, in the heart of Boston. We are bringing together the Boston cybersecurity and AI community for an evening of celebration, conversation, and connection.

Expect live jazz, an open bar with amazing drinks, great food, and of course, birthday cake. You will hear directly from our Founder and CEO, Alissa Knight, on the story of Ares' first year and where we are taking her next. You will also get the chance to meet the team behind the platform, see Ares up close, and connect with fellow practitioners, founders, and leaders from across the region. Whether you have followed Ares since day one or are just discovering what Assail is building, this is your invitation to be part of the celebration. Come raise a glass to Ares. We cannot wait to celebrate with you.
