SydeLabs, a startup specializing in AI security and risk management, has announced a $2.5 million seed funding round to bolster its efforts in safeguarding Generative AI systems for enterprises.
The funding, led by RTP Global and joined by Picus Capital and notable angel investors, will enable SydeLabs to further develop its suite of solutions tailored for enterprise applications of Generative AI. Founded by cybersecurity expert Ruchir Patwa and product leadership veteran Ankita Kumari, SydeLabs aims to make AI applications safe, secure, and resistant to abuse.
Patwa and Kumari recognize the growing concerns surrounding Generative AI's security and safety risks. They emphasize the need for proactive measures to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities, particularly as these systems introduce new attack surfaces and compliance challenges for enterprises.
