“We are building a comprehensive platform for risk management of Generative AI systems across the entire development lifecycle,” said Ruchir Patwa, the startup’s co-founder and chief executive officer.
Founded by Ruchir Patwa and Ankita Kumari, SydeLabs is a cybersecurity startup whose solution suite helps detect and prevent vulnerabilities in AI systems thus avoiding attacks, abuse and non-compliance.
The platform focuses on the intent of attackers, rather than using traditional pattern-matching approaches that are traditionally used for cybersecurity, according to its statement.
