We dedicate ourselves to creating tools that not only confront today’s AI risks but also anticipate tomorrow’s challenges, securing the foundation of the AI-powered future.

We've been tracking SPLX since their early days as SplxAI, and honestly, their evolution has been fascinating to watch. What started as an AI red teaming company has morphed into something much more ambitious — a full-stack security platform for enterprise AI systems. It's the kind of pivot that makes sense when you realize how quickly the AI security landscape is changing.

The Timing Couldn't Be Better

SPLX launched right as Fortune 500 companies started getting serious about AI deployment — and equally serious about the security nightmares that come with it. Their Platform 2.0 tackles the whole lifecycle, from development testing to real-time protection during operation. We particularly like their automated red teaming approach, which basically stress-tests AI systems at scale without requiring a team of security experts.

The real-time runtime protection is where things get interesting. Instead of just finding vulnerabilities after the fact, SPLX embeds guardrails directly into AI workflows. It's like having a security guard that never sleeps.

What's Actually Impressive

The numbers speak for themselves: 160% quarter-over-quarter growth and a 100% success rate in proof-of-concept engagements. That's not just good marketing — that's solving real problems for real customers. Five new Fortune 500 clients in one quarter tells us they're hitting a sweet spot in the market.

We're also intrigued by their open-source Agentic Radar tool. Giving away valuable IP might seem counterintuitive, but it's smart positioning. It gets their tech into more hands while building credibility in the security community.

The Reality Check

SPLX is still young — founded in 2023 means they're barely two years old. While their growth trajectory looks promising, they're entering a crowded cybersecurity market where established players have deeper pockets and longer track records. The AI security space is hot right now, but it's also unpredictable.

That said, their advisory team includes some heavy hitters from Zscaler and other security powerhouses. Having Michael Sutton and David Endler in your corner isn't just good for credibility — it's good for knowing where the industry is headed.
