Recognition reinforces CalypsoAI’s leadership in securing AI at the inference layer — as the enterprise AI stack evolves and securing inference becomes central to trust, governance, and scale.

CalypsoAI has been selected as one of the Top 10 Finalists in the RSA Conference 2025 Innovation Sandbox — and as part of this recognition, we’ve secured a $5 million investment to accelerate our mission: securing enterprise AI where it matters most — at the point of decision. This recognition comes at a time when the enterprise AI stack is evolving rapidly, and inference-layer security is becoming foundational to trust, governance, and scale.

Why This Matters

As enterprises move beyond experimentation and begin deploying AI across core workflows, a new security frontier has emerged: the inference layer. These systems are increasingly influencing decisions, interacting with internal tools, and operating at scale — often without adequate visibility or control at runtime.

CalypsoAI was built for this moment.

Our Inference Platform provides real-time visibility and enforcement at the point where AI decisions are made. It continuously tests, observes, and defends AI systems in the wild — not just in training environments — helping security leaders stay ahead of threats, meet governance requirements, and scale AI responsibly.

Why CalypsoAI Stands Apart

Unlike others in the space who focus on model training or static guardrails, CalypsoAI is purpose-built to secure the moment of inference — when AI is making real-world decisions that carry risk and impact.

We don’t just monitor. We intervene in real time, using intelligent red-teaming agents, runtime enforcement, and continuous observability to harden AI deployments from the inside out. Our platform adapts as fast as the systems it protects — closing the gap between innovation and security.

This approach is what sets us apart. And being selected as an RSAC Innovation Sandbox Finalist validates that distinction — from a panel of judges made up of some of the most respected names in cybersecurity, venture capital, and enterprise defense.

What the RSAC Innovation Sandbox Is
& Why It Matters

Now in its 20th year, the RSAC Innovation Sandbox is widely recognized as the most prestigious stage for emerging cybersecurity companies. The competition has launched many of the industry’s most impactful players, with past finalists collectively raising over $16 billion and completing 90+ acquisitions.

Each year, RSAC selects 10 finalists with the potential to shape the future of security. CalypsoAI is honored to be among this group in 2025 — and to receive a $5 million investment through the program, backed exclusively by Crosspoint Capital Partners.

“CalypsoAI is addressing the most urgent challenges that enterprises face in securely scaling AI,” said Donnchadh Casey, CEO of CalypsoAI. “Our world-leading solutions give companies the confidence to innovate without exposing themselves to risk. This recognition from RSAC reinforces CalypsoAI’s position as the clear and trusted leader in AI security.”

“We’re growing our technology team rapidly to create unique AI-powered security products that empower safe and secure AI adoption,” added James White, CTO of CalypsoAI. “With this investment, we will accelerate the launch of several key innovations already in the pipeline.”

A Catalyst for Acceleration

In addition to the recognition, the $5 million investment from the RSAC Innovation Sandbox program provides fuel to scale even faster. Backed by Crosspoint Capital Partners, this support enables us to deepen our R&D, expand our reach, and continue building the category-defining platform for inference-layer security.

Their belief in our mission reflects a shared understanding that securing AI at the point of action is no longer optional — it’s essential.

See You in San Francisco…

The RSAC Innovation Sandbox takes place on Monday, April 28 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. CalypsoAI will present live to a panel of judges and a global audience — alongside nine other standout finalists shaping the future of cybersecurity.
