Aurascape is taking a fundamentally new approach to one of the fastest-growing challenges facing enterprises: how to embrace AI without losing visibility or control of sensitive data.
Rather than adapting traditional firewalls, proxies, or legacy DLP tools, Aurascape built an AI-native, prevention-first platform that can discover and analyze activity across public and private AI applications, embedded copilots, coding assistants, autonomous agents, and MCP-connected systems.
Its technology examines prompts, responses, user intent, and multimodal content in real time, allowing organizations to apply granular guardrails while blocking risky actions rather than simply prohibiting entire AI applications.
Aurascape was founded by an experienced team of cybersecurity and AI veterans, led by CEO Moinul Khan and co-founders Patrick Xu, Viswesh, Liang Li, and Rajiv Khemani, with backgrounds spanning Palo Alto Networks, Zscaler, Netskope, FireEye, Juniper, Google, and Amazon.
The Silicon Valley company emerged from stealth in April 2025 with $50 million in funding led by Mayfield Fund and Menlo Ventures, with backing from Celesta Capital and prominent security leaders including former Palo Alto Networks CEO Mark McLaughlin and former Symantec CEO Greg Clark.
