Cohere acquires AISLE and cubic to launch secure-coding vertical

Cohere completed its acquisition of vulnerability-discovery firm AISLE and brought on the team behind code-review platform cubic, forming a new secure-coding and cybersecurity vertical for enterprises needing on-premises or air-gapped deployment.

Cohere announced on November 13, 2026, in a blog post about its sovereign AI platform, that it has completed its acquisition of AISLE, a company building autonomous systems for vulnerability discovery and remediation. Cohere also separately welcomed the team behind cubic, an AI-powered code-review platform, into the company.

What changed

Cohere completed its acquisition of AISLE, which builds autonomous systems for vulnerability discovery and remediation.
Cohere welcomed the team behind cubic, an AI-powered code-review platform, into the company.
cubic reviews code, finds bugs and vulnerabilities, explains complex codebases, and auto-remediates issues.
cubic founder and CEO Paul Sangle-Ferriere is leading the new effort inside Cohere.
This is Cohere's fourth M&A transaction in 2026, following Aleph Alpha and Reliant AI.
No financial terms were disclosed for either deal.

What it means for AI builders

Bringing an AI code-review and auto-remediation tool together with an autonomous vulnerability-discovery system under one vendor signals that code security tooling is consolidating around AI-native platforms. That matters for teams choosing code-review and secure-coding tools, especially those that need sovereign or air-gapped deployment rather than relying on cloud-only services.

Next steps

The deals create a new secure-coding vertical aimed at enterprise-grade coding for on-premises and air-gapped deployments. From AISLE, Ondrej Vlcek becomes SVP of Cohere Cyber, Jaya Baloo becomes CISO, and Stanislav Fort becomes VP of AI Security. Cohere also plans substantial long-term investment in Prague as a global center for AI cybersecurity, framing the acquisitions as an expansion of its sovereign AI platform across frontier AI, biopharma and healthcare, cybersecurity, and software development.
