SydeLabs raises $2.5M seed to develop an intent-based firewall guard for AI


SydeLabs launched its red teaming solution, SydeBox, on March 1, 2024, and has since seen adoption from 15+ enterprises that have detected over 10,000 vulnerabilities across 50+ applications/models.

The company is already working with a few organizations and plans to use the fresh capital to focus on R&D and upgrading its tech stack to stay ahead of bad actors looking to compromise generative AI systems of enterprises. In the long run, it intends to offer the red teaming solution free of cost to enterprises looking to detect vulnerabilities in their application and monetize SydeGuard using a consumption-based model. The funding for the startup comes at a time when the safety and reliability of gen AI apps are under major scrutiny owing to several instances of prompt injection attacks leading to the generation of deepfakes of high-profile celebrities.
