AI security

Models are a new attack surface. Prompt injection, data poisoning, model theft, and agentic misuse have no equivalent in the traditional security stack — so a new one is being built. We fund it.

THE THREAT SURFACE

New attacks demand a new defensive stack

A

Red-teaming & adversarial testing

Automated attack simulation against models before attackers get there — penetration testing, rebuilt for systems that talk back.

B

Runtime protection

Guardrails, injection detection, and output filtering that sit between the model and the world — the firewall of the AI era.

C

Data provenance

Knowing what went into a model — and proving what didn't. Poisoned data is invisible until it isn't; provenance makes it visible early.

D

Model integrity & supply chain

Signed weights, verified fine-tunes, and tamper detection across the model supply chain — because a model is now a dependency like any other.

OUR VIEW

The model is the new perimeter

Every wave of computing created a security industry in its wake — networks got firewalls, the cloud got posture management. AI compresses that timeline: the attack surface and the market for defending it are growing simultaneously.

Agentic systems raise the stakes: compromised agents act, not just leak

Security requirements are entering AI regulation directly

The best defensive teams are ex-attackers — talent is the moat
