Cohere Signs LOI to Buy AISLE, the AI Vuln Scanner That Found 18 of 24 cURL Flaws

Cohere said Oct 15 it has signed a letter of intent to acquire AISLE, the AI-cybersecurity startup founded in 2025 by former Avast CEO Ondrej Vlcek with co-founders from Google DeepMind and Anthropic. AISLE says its scanners have found 500+ previously unknown CVEs across 100+ codebases, including 18 of the 24 vulnerabilities patched in cURL's October release. The deal folds AISLE's Prague team into a new 'Cohere Cyber' unit and expands Cohere's European footprint, following its merger with Germany's Aleph Alpha.
