CodeWall launches with $4M pre-seed for offensive security AI

London-based CodeWall launched with $4 million in pre-seed funding led by Osney Capital to sell autonomous AI agents that attack enterprise systems the way an outside hacker would. The company says the agents re-run whenever new systems go live or a fix is applied, staying within customer-authorized scope, and it pitches the service as a replacement for the once- or twice-a-year penetration test. CodeWall cites an earlier engagement in which an agent with no credentials gained read and write access to the production database behind McKinsey's Lilli AI platform within two hours. Most of the new funding will go toward extending the agents' reach across enterprise environments, with added workflows for verifying and remediating findings; the company is hiring in London across technical and commercial teams.
