Why we founded Ackuity
Enterprises are deploying a large number of GenAI applications. These applications are accessing hundreds — if not thousands — of users, systems and data stores. These GenAI applications bring new risks, such as :
Violating privacy, AI and industry regulations.
Bypassing business rules
— both internal policies and contractual promises.
Cyber threats from both AI-specific systems and traditional IT systems.
The need for a new solution
New GenAI security tools are emerging to mitigate these risks. However, no tool existed to secure every touchpoint where GenAI applications interact with an enterprises, internal users, systems and data stores. This left a large gap in GenAI security for the many enterprises rapidly adopting these tools.
We founded Ackuity to solve this problem. Our tool gives enterprises visibility and control over every interaction between their GenAI applications and their internal users, systems and data. With Ackuity, it’s now possible to effectively manage security, compliance and risk within enterprise GenAI deployments.
