We're building the
security layer for the
AI agent economy

AI agents are moving fast. Security is lagging behind. We're here to close that gap — before it becomes a catastrophe.

Every AI agent deployed without a security layer is a liability. We exist to make that no longer acceptable — and to make securing AI agents so easy that there's no excuse not to.
Our Story

Built from the frontlines of AI security

AgentAIShield started with a simple observation: teams building AI agents were shipping to production with no visibility into what their agents were doing, no protection against prompt injection, and no way to prove to their customers that their data was safe.

We'd seen this movie before — in the early days of web APIs, teams shipped without authentication. In the cloud era, they shipped without encryption. Every time, the security layer arrived late, bolted on awkwardly after the damage was done. We're determined to make that not happen with AI agents.

Founded in Austin, TX in early 2026 by a team of security researchers and ML engineers, AgentAIShield is purpose-built for the agentic AI era. Not repurposed from a legacy DLP product. Not a feature in an existing platform. Built ground-up for the unique threat model of AI agents.

Our Values

What we stand for

Radical Transparency

We tell you exactly what we detect, log, and store. No black boxes in our product — and none in how we operate.

Security First, Always

Security isn't a feature toggle. It's the foundation. Every decision we make — from architecture to pricing — is optimized for keeping your data safe.

Speed Without Shortcuts

We move fast. We ship constantly. But we never sacrifice correctness for velocity. A security product that breaks things isn't a security product.

Customer Obsession

Our customers are shipping products people depend on. When something goes wrong for them, it's an emergency for us. We respond like it.

Research-Driven

The AI threat landscape evolves every week. We invest in research — prompt injection taxonomy, LLM exfiltration vectors, trust model design — and publish what we learn.

Accountability

If we make a mistake — in our product, in our security, in our conduct — we own it publicly and fix it completely. No weasel words, no spin.

The Team

Security researchers. ML engineers. Builders.

We're a small, senior team. Everyone ships code. Everyone talks to customers. No org chart, no bureaucracy.
