Cohere completes AISLE acquisition and buys AI code review startup cubic

Nov 15, 2026
AISLE becomes Cohere Cyber, with Prague as Cohere's global centre for AI cybersecurity, while cubic's team will build a secure coding unit.

Cohere has completed its acquisition of the cybersecurity company AISLE and bought the AI code review startup cubic, the Canadian AI company said in a blog post on November 13. Cohere signed a letter of intent for AISLE in October. Cohere says the two deals bring its strategic M&A transactions this year to four, after Aleph Alpha and Reliant AI.

AISLE builds autonomous systems that find and fix software vulnerabilities, and its work now forms the basis of Cohere Cyber, a new cybersecurity business. Co-founder Ondrej Vlcek will lead it as senior vice president, Jaya Baloo becomes Cohere's chief information security officer and Stanislav Fort becomes vice president of AI security. Cohere also plans a substantial long-term investment in Prague, making AISLE's base its global centre for AI cybersecurity.

The cubic team, led by founder and CEO Paul Sanglé-Ferrière, will set up a secure coding unit at Cohere. Cohere says cubic's review agents rank among the strongest on code review benchmarks and were built for on-premises and air-gapped deployments. Cohere did not disclose financial terms for either deal.
