"We saw a gap between an enterprise’s AI and cybersecurity organizations. Protect AI will be the catalyst to collapse the silos between those teams to help them build safer, more secure AI systems to dramatically reduce enterprise risk." 

— Badar Ahmed, Co-founder and CTO

Our Story

Running some of the largest AI businesses in the world gave us a unique view into the needs from thousands of customers in how to successfully scale AI applications. As we watched more ML models be deployed into production, we saw a need to give AI builders a solution that would help make their environments more secure and tailored to unique aspects of ML code. Protect AI bridges the needs of cybersecurity and AI teams by helping them build the next stage of scaled, secure AI through the adoption of MLSecOps.
