Aurascape Emerges from Stealth with $50M in Funding, Enabling Businesses to Innovate in the Age of AI
Aurascape, an innovative provider of AI-native security, is launching from one year of stealth operations with $50M in funding, enabling the company to reimagine security for the AI era.
Lead investors include Mayfield Fund and Menlo Ventures, along with a strategic set of investors such as Celesta Capital, security industry leaders, including former Palo Alto Networks CEO Mark McLaughlin, former Symantec CEO Greg Clark, the chairman of Walden International Lip-Bu Tan, and former Zscaler chief strategy officer Manoj Apte.
Aurascape’s introduction to the market arrives amid strong company growth and the general availability of its AI Activity Control platform.
"AI is here to stay, and enterprises must implement strategies to monitor and protect AI use,” said Moinul Khan, co-founder and CEO of Aurascape. “Traditional security offerings were not designed for the ways AI applications operate, thus we see an unsolved need for comprehensive AI security today. This is why we tapped the brightest minds in the industry to re-imagine security for the AI era.”
With AI powering strong productivity boosts, businesses that allow their workers to safely leverage AI tools will gain a competitive advantage over organizations that fail to do so.
Aurascape enables businesses to innovate fearlessly in the age of AI with a platform engineered for AI interactions, according to the company.
Driven by an AI-native engine, the platform provides unsurpassed breadth and depth of visibility and controls for every AI interaction.
Key capabilities of the Aurascape platform include:
- Unsurpassed observability: Visibility, risk analysis, and prompt-response decoding for thousands of AI apps, with rapid identification and incorporation of the newest AI-powered tools for “long-tail” AI coverage.
- AI-native protection: Data security with minimal false positives for AI interactions, and threat prevention for sophisticated AI-driven threats. Aurascape processes and protects multimodal data; whether the data exists as text, code, images, videos, audio, or a wide variety of the other formats AI applications work with.
- Automated policies and remediation: Security policies that evolve to incorporate brand-new AI tools and plug-ins, automating visibility, protection, and dispute resolution to keep security teams effective and end-users productive.
