Suzu Labs is a Las Vegas-based cybersecurity services and AI advisory firm founded by Michael Bell, a retired U.S. Army veteran with 20+ years in cybersecurity. The company operates on a "Hacker in the Loop" model that blends AI-driven automation with human-led security expertise.
Core services include penetration testing and vulnerability assessments across networks, applications, and APIs; continuous adversary emulation and red teaming; incident response; and fractional vCISO services for organizations needing executive-level security guidance without a full-time hire. Their AI practice covers advisory, assessment, and integration services to help organizations securely adopt AI systems.
In 2026, Suzu Labs made two strategic acquisitions: Emulated Criminals (April 2026) to expand their continuous adversary emulation and AI-driven security capabilities, and the Simply Offensive podcast from Simply Cyber Media (January 2026). The company swept 4 Global InfoSec Awards at RSA Conference 2026, recognized by Cyber Defense Magazine for AI-powered cybersecurity excellence. Key leadership includes Denis Calderone (CTO), Phillip Wylie (Chief Security Evangelist), and Dahvid Schloss and Ann Rinaldi from the Emulated Criminals acquisition.
