Where this fits
Guardrails that run at the moment a model is being used: blocking prompt injection, stopping data leaving, and enforcing policy on what a model may say and do. Runtime security keeps becoming part of a bigger security product rather than staying a purchase of its own.
We track hiring and team changes across all 186 companies in AI Safety, Security & Governance.
