OpenBox AI
OpenBox AI provides enterprise-grade trust infrastructure for AI systems, enabling runtime enforcement of identity, policy, and risk for autonomous agents.
Founding Story
OpenBox was started to solve the 'governance crisis' in enterprise AI, where autonomous agents access data and make decisions without human review. The founders' vision is to democratize trust so that both small startups and global banks have access to the same high-level governance tools.
