“Existing tools were built for static environments. But AI is dynamic, it’s everywhere, and it just runs,” said founder and chief executive Apurv Garg.

“There are now countless ways data gets accessed, often without visibility. Enterprises need to rethink how they monitor sensitive data usage in real time across humans, services, and AI agents,” he added.

Jishnu Bhattacharjee, managing director at Nexus Venture Partners, said, “Security teams urgently need a runtime-first approach to data security, especially as AI systems autonomously interact with sensitive enterprise data.”
