Despite the staggering growth of AI across every industry, organizations are often times unknowingly opening themselves to vulnerabilities and adversarial attacks due to insufficient investments and education on current AI threats. Gartner has reported that “2 in 5 organizations have had an AI security or privacy breach, and 1 and 4 were malicious attacks.” With the AI market projected to reach $16 trillion by 2030, our mission is to empower governments, academic institutions, and corporations to embrace AI by securing their models through the application of traditional cybersecurity techniques.
