Aiden

Aiden Technologies provides an intelligent automation solution focused on endpoint management for Microsoft Windows environments. Founded in May 2020 by CEO Joshua Aaron and CTO Sean Maloney, the company aims to address the challenges of software deployment, patch management, and cybersecurity compliance for enterprises. The company's genesis stems from Maloney's creation, Mass Deploy, a software deployment platform he developed over 15 years while working in Silicon Valley. Aaron, an enterprise IT leader with over two decades of experience as a CEO, CIO, and CTO, encountered Mass Deploy while working at a private equity firm and recognized its potential, leading to the formation of Aiden Technologies.

The company operates in the IT automation and cybersecurity market, serving enterprises, particularly in highly regulated industries such as financial services, healthcare, life sciences, and legal sectors. Aiden's business model is centered on providing its software as a managed service, which can integrate with existing endpoint management tools like Microsoft Intune and SCCM. This approach allows IT teams to offload the repetitive and time-consuming tasks associated with maintaining Windows systems. Revenue is generated through subscriptions to their platform. The company has secured a total of $7.4 million in seed funding over multiple rounds to fuel its growth and go-to-market strategy.

Aiden's core product is an AI-powered platform that automates the process of keeping Windows computers in their 'Desired State Configuration'—ensuring they have the correct software and updates, and nothing else. The platform features AidenBot, an AI agent that scans endpoints, compares them against policy files, and executes tasks to bring the machines into compliance. Key capabilities include automated application packaging, software and patch deployment, and vulnerability remediation. A component called AidenVision provides real-time visibility and reporting on compliance status across all devices. The service helps reduce security risks by shortening the time it takes to patch vulnerabilities and minimizes IT workload, allowing internal teams to focus on more strategic projects. Aiden's solution is designed to work in hybrid environments, managing endpoints both on-premise and remotely without needing a VPN.
