Nexusflow: AI Agents for Security Operations

Nexusflow builds AI agents that sit on top of your existing security stack, giving SOC teams a conversational interface to query data, run investigations, and trigger actions across tools—without console hopping. Founded in 2023 by UC Berkeley’s Jiantao Jiao and Kurt Keutzer, and Jian Zhang, the company is based in Palo Alto and raised a $10.6M seed led by [Point72 Ventures](https://p72.vc/) with participation from [Fusion Fund](https://www.fusionfund.com/).

    Mindgard is the leading provider of AI security solutions. Spun out from over a decade of AI security research at Lancaster University and headquartered in Boston and London, Mindgard helps enterprises secure their AI models, agents, and applications across the AI lifecycle. AI introduces risks that traditional security tools cannot detect, leaving organizations unable to find, measure, or secure their AI. Security teams struggle with a lack of visibility into AI activity and its attack surfaces. Difficulty reproducing agentic AI behavior creates uncertainty and compliance challenges.
