Aurascape, Inc.
Aurascape enables businesses to innovate fearlessly in the age of AI by transforming how companies safeguard themselves with the world's most advanced AI-native security platform that provides visibility, protection, and control for enterprise AI interactions.
Founding Story
Aurascape was founded by cybersecurity veterans from Palo Alto Networks, Zscaler, FireEye, Juniper Networks, and Google who built the platforms that secured the cloud and network. When it came to securing AI, they encountered a fundamental limitation: traditional security architectures couldn't keep up with AI's dynamic nature. The founding team left their positions, teamed up, and started fresh to build an AI-native security company from the ground up, specifically designed for the AI era.
