The Iowa-built cybersecurity firm turns a decade of expertise into proprietary technology, AI security capabilities, and continuous cyber risk management.
NORTH LIBERTY, IA, UNITED STATES, October 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — ProCircular, a cybersecurity firm that’s served customers in 25 states across 18 industries, is entering its second decade with investments in new proprietary technology, dedicated AI and cybersecurity R&D, and expanded capabilities for securing how organizations adopt and use AI.
“We’ve spent a decade building judgment through real security work,” said Aaron Warner, CEO of ProCircular. “That foundation hasn’t changed. What’s changed is the speed and frequency of decisions organizations have to make. Risk doesn’t wait for the next assessment anymore. We’re building technology and applying AI so our people and our customers can see what’s changing, act on it, and keep getting better.”
The evolution builds on ProCircular’s work across offensive and defensive security, governance and risk, incident response, and monitoring. The company is turning methods developed by its practitioners into proprietary solutions, including technology designed to continuously monitor external cyber exposure, while applying those same security disciplines to emerging risks.
ProCircular is also applying that expertise to AI security. Cybersecurity leaders are confronting a familiar problem on a new scale: AI is entering their organizations faster than they can see, govern, or test it. Employees use public AI tools, vendors add AI to existing software, and developers build AI-enabled applications. Agents can access data, connect to other systems, and increasingly take actions on a user’s behalf.
ProCircular helps organizations discover and govern AI use, understand what data and systems AI can access, test AI-enabled applications and agents for weaknesses, monitor new exposures, and build and deploy AI more securely.
Leading ProCircular’s AI and cybersecurity R&D is Jim Sherlock, Vice President of AI & Cybersecurity R&D. Sherlock spent nearly two decades at Pearson in roles spanning information security, compliance, cloud engineering, and technology innovation. At ProCircular, he leads product engineering and development, offensive security, and the application of AI across products and operations.
“The technology is changing quickly, but many of the security fundamentals are not,” said Sherlock. “Organizations still need to understand what they have, control access to their data and systems, test what they build, and know how they’ll respond when something goes wrong. AI makes getting those fundamentals right even more important.”
ProCircular’s first decade was built largely through practitioners working directly with customers. Its second is being built to extend what those practitioners can see, test, and protect, without taking them out of the equation.
