Value proposition
Enables enterprises to deploy autonomous AI agents safely by providing immediate visibility into security posture, automated audits, and real-time remediation of vulnerabilities in non-deterministic AI systems.
Products and solutions
Agentic Security Guardrails, Continuous AI Threat Detection & Monitoring, Automated AI Security Audit Reports, Context-Aware Remediation Engine, Adaptive Feedback & Governance Dashboard, AI Security Maturity Model (ASMM), Organization Workspaces with RBAC
Unique value
Focuses specifically on the 'agentic era,' addressing the unique security risks of autonomous AI agents that perform multi-step actions, rather than just securing static LLM chat interfaces.
Target customer
Enterprise development teams, Security Operations Centers (SOCs), and organizations deploying autonomous AI agents at scale.
Industries served
Cybersecurity, Enterprise Software, Financial Services, Cloud Infrastructure, Healthcare Technology
Technology advantage
Led by a world-class team combining systems engineering expertise (ex-AWS S3 and Alcion) with top-tier machine learning research (University of Cambridge/DeepMind) to build a 'security-by-design' framework for autonomous systems.
How they differentiate
Focuses specifically on 'Agentic AI' security, protecting autonomous agents that perform multi-step actions rather than just securing static LLM chat interfaces. It utilizes a 'security-by-design' framework for non-deterministic systems.
