Apex, a new AI security startup founded in 2023, provides a security platform that offers visibility into AI activity, enables organizations to define and enforce security policies, detects policy violations, responds to attacks, and includes a secure portal for users. The startup works with public generative AI tools, copilots like Microsoft's, and custom AI applications. Apex raised $7 million in seed funding from investors like Sequoia Capital and plans to use the funding for product development, team expansion, and go-to-market activities
The platform aims to address the security challenges arising from the increased integration of AI tools in organizations, which poses risks like data leaks and exposure to AI-driven attacks. https://www.darkreading.com/cyber-risk/new-ai-security-startup-apex-secures-ai-models-apps
