Services Business Modernization & Agentic Transformation Agentic Engineering
The same roadmap, shipped 100x faster — with a codebase you trust more, not less.
Coding agents work now. What hasn't happened inside most established engineering organizations is adoption that sticks: the right tools in the right repos, on context the agents can trust, with review, security, and cost under control. We help your engineering function make that move — from copilots on laptops to agentic workflows your team directs — so your engineers spend their days on architecture and product instead of toil.
Got it — we're on it.

Agentic engineering is software development where AI agents — not autocomplete — plan, write, test, and revise code across a codebase while engineers direct the work, set the guardrails, and review the results. Andrej Karpathy drew the line in February 2026: coding agents 'basically didn't work before December and basically work since.' What separates teams that get the gains from teams that get more pull requests and more incidents is adoption: context the agents can trust (documentation, conventions, tests), security controls designed for machine-written code, cost and access managed centrally, and a culture that treats the agent as a colleague to supervise rather than a mandate to survive.
YSecurity has no relationship with any vendor — no resale margins, no referral fees, no partner tiers, no certification quotas to hit. A relationship like that would compromise our ability to show up as your true partner, so we don't have one. We recommend only the very best technologies and services for your workflows, your data, and your security commitments — and when a free, open-source tool beats a seven-figure platform for your use case, that's exactly what you'll hear from us.
Not every codebase, language, or team is ready for the same tool. We evaluate your repos, pipelines, and platforms, then match agents to the places they'll pay off first — and say plainly where a copilot is still the better fit.
Agents are only as good as what they can read. We build the always-on context — architecture notes, conventions, shared skills, tests worth trusting — that turns a decades-old estate from an obstacle into an asset every following team inherits.
Sandboxed execution, scoped credentials, protected branches, review gates tuned for agent output, and an approval model that doesn't rely on a tired human clicking 'allow' — configured to your existing security commitments, not bolted on after the first incident.
Training on real tickets, a shared skills library, cost dashboards, and a paved road for the next tool someone discovers. People adopt what works and what they had a hand in shaping; mandates alone produce usage reports, not results.
Tell us about your engineering organization — headcount, stack, what the grind looks like. We return an initial estimate of dollars saved, speed gained, and time to modernize.
We inventory repos, workflows, and security commitments, choose the agents and configuration that fit, and run a pilot on a real slice of the roadmap with the engineers who'll own it — measuring cycle time, review load, defects, and spend from day one.
Our operators embed to roll adoption across teams, harden the guardrails, and tune models, tools, and cost as the landscape shifts. We scale our hours down as your fluency goes up — and you can end the engagement any time.
Two of our companies ship software with no engineers on payroll. That is what agentic engineering looks like when adoption is done properly.
The website you're reading, our blog research, our podcast production, and our client delivery playbooks now run on agentic workflows our own operators built and supervise. The partners who once wrote every page by hand now review what agents draft — and spend the hours they got back with clients.
About the team →Cyberbase is our business-to-business deal acceleration platform — security questionnaires, contract redlines, and compliance reviews. Today it runs with zero engineers. Product, infrastructure, and security are built and operated through agentic engineering, supervised by the founders.
cyberbase.ai →Ceed runs the money side of a services firm — hours, client budgets, invoices, payouts, and the month close. It has never had an engineer. It operates at roughly a tenth of the cost of a traditional team, at what we measure as 100x the velocity.
ceed.so →The evidence is consistent: the tools work, and the results depend on the system around them. Every quote links to its source.
AI doesn't fix a team; it amplifies what's already there.

Then a few slides later we see that our sev incidents are also increasing.”

Love us, or let us go. Very simple. Billing in 15-minute increments, an optional monthly cap, and no long-term contract — you can end the engagement any time. No one ever lets us go.
