ORION Security
ORION Security is an AI-native data loss prevention (DLP) company that protects enterprises from data leaks without relying on manually written policies. Founded in 2024 by Nitay Milner and Jonathan Kreiner, ORION uses large language models and specialized AI agents to map how data normally flows across SaaS, email, cloud, endpoints, and AI tools, then analyzes content sensitivity, user identity, behavioral intent, and data lineage to catch exfiltration and insider threats in real time. The platform targets the three core sources of data loss - human error, malicious insiders, and external attackers - while cutting the false positives and maintenance burden that plague legacy DLP.
Virtue AI
Virtue AI is a San Francisco-based enterprise AI security company that helps organizations deploy generative AI and AI agents safely. Founded in 2024 by AI-safety researchers from Berkeley, Stanford, and Chicago, its platform combines automated red-teaming (VirtueRed), real-time multimodal guardrails (VirtueGuard), and an end-to-end agent security suite (AgentSuite) to catch prompt injections, jailbreaks, data poisoning, and policy violations before they reach production. The company raised $30 million in seed and Series A funding and counts frontier AI labs and enterprises in finance, healthcare, and IT among its customers.
Sahil Agarwal
Sahil Agarwal is the co-founder and CEO of Enkrypt AI, a Boston-based startup building a security and compliance control layer for enterprise generative AI. An applied mathematician with a PhD from Yale who once modeled the chaotic motion of Arctic sea ice, he now leads a team that red-teams large language models to find where they break - work that made headlines when Enkrypt published research showing DeepSeek-R1 was 11x more likely to generate harmful content than its rivals. He met co-founder Prashanth Harshangi during their PhD years at Yale, and together they raised a $2.35M seed round to make AI safe enough for Fortune 500 deployment.
Vinay Goel
Vinay Goel is the CEO and co-founder of Wald.ai, a Palo Alto startup building contextual data-loss protection for the age of generative AI. After more than 30 years in product and technology - a decade at Google leading Maps and Local, then top product roles at JLL, Kiavi, Check Point and Webroot - he co-founded Wald.ai in 2024 to solve the 'shadow AI' problem: employees feeding sensitive company data into ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. Wald.ai redacts sensitive data inline, lets the AI answer, then restores the original context before the user sees it. He raised a $4M seed round in December 2024 and sits on the Forbes Technology Council.
Nightfall AI
Nightfall AI is a San Francisco-based data security company that uses AI-native detection to find and protect sensitive data across SaaS applications, AI tools, and endpoints. It pitches itself as the first DLP and insider risk platform purpose-built for the AI era.
