Eric Chiu is the founder and CEO of SolidCore.ai, a Menlo Park startup that helps enterprises deploy generative AI with real-time monitoring, an immutable record of every LLM interaction, and built-in compliance. A veteran cybersecurity entrepreneur, he previously founded HyTrust, the cloud security company acquired by Entrust, whose technology protected the virtual infrastructure of Bank of America, United Healthcare, Honeywell, and U.S. Central Command.
