Help us Build the Data Security Layer for the AI era

Data security hasn't caught up to how fast AI is moving. We're closing that gap — building the platform that lets the world's most ambitious AI companies innovate without exposing what matters most.

We believe data protection has to work intelligently and invisibly, or it won't work urity teams shouldn't need to stitch together five different tools, wade through endless false positives, and still miss critical events. We're building toward a future where any company—from a 50-person startup to a Fortune 500—can protect their sensitive data across every SaaS app, every AI tool, and every endpoint without slowing anyone down.

Founded by an early Uber Eats engineer and investors from Venrock and Bain Capital Ventures, we are a team of machine learning engineers, security practitioners, and product builders with experience spanning Uber, Harness, Microsoft, Symantec, Code
42, Rubrik, and Skyhigh Security.
