The RSA Conference is one of the biggest stages in the cyber industry, and we are excited to celebrate CalypsoAI’s recognition as a Top 10 Finalist in the RSA Conference 2025 Innovation Sandbox—one of the most competitive and respected stages in cybersecurity.
Paladin Capital Group made our first investment in CalypsoAI in 2020, recognizing the need for technology to ensure that AI is secure and trusted. For us as investors, this moment is more than recognition — it’s a signal that the world is catching up to a reality we’ve long anticipated: inference security will become the foundational technology for securing AI adoption, and CalypsoAI is leading the charge.
The world is changing—and CalypsoAI is building the Future of Cybersecurity
Generative AI is evolving beyond passive tools into autonomous agents that can act, decide, and operate independently. These agentic systems are quickly being integrated into critical workflows — but their rapid adoption brings significant security challenges.
A recent Evanta survey revealed that 88% of Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) are concerned about deploying AI securely and managing associated risks. Additionally, 79% cite concerns about data privacy and security, and 72% are unsure if they can govern the use of AI internally.
CalypsoAI has stepped into that gap with a platform purpose-built for inference-layer security — defending how AI behaves at runtime, not just how it’s built or trained. The technology delivers real-time observability, adversarial testing, and autonomous remediation to stop threats before they become incidents. This approach addresses a critical need in a rapidly growing market; for example, the global AI in cybersecurity market is projected to reach $93.75 billion by 2030, reflecting the surging demand for advanced, AI-driven security solutions.
This isn’t conceptual — it’s already deployed in production, securing mission-critical AI systems across highly regulated industries.
RSAC recognition is a catalyst—and a challenge to move even faster
RSA’s Innovation Sandbox is where the next generation of cybersecurity leaders step into the spotlight. Past RSA Conference Innovation Sandbox finalists include category-defining companies like CrowdStrike, Wiz, Palo Alto Networks, Imperva, and Fortinet—all of whom have gone on to become global leaders in cybersecurity. CalypsoAI joins their ranks, marking a major milestone on its journey to reshape how AI systems are secured.
Every layer of enterprise technology is being reimagined by the rapid adoption of AI applications and agents — necessitating a parallel transformation in the Cybersecurity solutions that protect these estates. According to Precedence Research, global Cybersecurity spend is $268.13 billion and is expected to grow to $878.48 billion by 2034 — but that spend will manifest quite differently than it does today, driven by the proliferation of AI Applications and Agents. That shift is exactly where we see CalypsoAI’s long-term opportunity.
This recognition gives CalypsoAI the platform and momentum to move even faster—launching new products, expanding globally, and deepening its presence in critical infrastructure, defense, and AI-first enterprise verticals.
Investing in CalypsoAI means investing in the infrastructure for safe, scalable AI
What sets CalypsoAI apart isn’t just elegant engineering—it’s timing. They were early to one of the most urgent security gaps in AI: securing behavior, not just code. Now they are well positioned to take that AI experience to broader cybersecurity.
We’re proud to back a team with the vision, urgency, and execution to lead this transformation—and we believe the market is only beginning to realize how big that opportunity really is.
The future of AI is agentic.CalypsoAI is making sure it’s secure.
