Atlassian CEO: Only 4 of 13,000 Employees Could Use Dia Browser When First Acquired; Security Infrastructure Was Bottleneck

Atlassian acquired Dia, an AI-powered web browser built by The Browser Company of New York. Initially, only 4 of Atlassian's 13,000 employees were permitted to use it; after months of post-acquisition security work, all 13,000 employees now use it.

CEO Mike Cannon-Brookes cited security infrastructure as the primary bottleneck delaying enterprise AI deployment. Customers' adoption timelines vary widely—some take 6 months to enable Atlassian's AI platform while others do so in a day, depending on their existing security, governance, and data posture.

Atlassian's Rovo platform, which surpassed 5 million monthly active users in Q2 FY26, is designed around enterprise controls: data residency, private model choice, customer-managed keys, and compliance controls. Work items in Jira can be routed to coding agents like Cursor or Claude Code, or to business agents from Salesforce's Agentforce.

Atlassian reported Q3 FY26 revenue of $1.79 billion, up 31.7% year over year, with RPO of $4.0 billion, up 37%.
