Aim Security: Enterprise GenAI Security Platform

ai-securitygenaienterprisesase

Aim Security is an enterprise-grade GenAI security platform founded in 2022 by IDF Unit 8200 alumni. They provide visibility, control, and governance over AI usage across organizations.

Core Capabilities

1. Shadow AI Discovery & Control

Secures employee use of public AI applications like ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Cursor, and other AI agents. Uncovers shadow AI usage across the organization and enforces policies.

2. AI Firewall

Protects private AI applications and agents with real-time defense against prompt injection and other AI-specific attacks. Uses their patent-pending “Aim Engine” for fast performance with low false-positive rates.

3. AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM)

Secures the entire AI development lifecycle—from training ML models to deploying custom AI agents. Continuously discovers, detects, and remediates security and compliance risks before production.

Notable Research

Their research team discovered “EchoLeak” (CVE-2025-32711)—the first reported zero-click vulnerability in Microsoft 365 Copilot.

Acquisition by Cato Networks

In September 2025, Cato Networks acquired Aim Security for ~$350M to integrate AI protection into their SASE Cloud Platform. Aim remains available standalone, with Cato integration planned for early 2026.

Why It Matters

As enterprises adopt AI agents and copilots at scale, the attack surface expands dramatically. Aim addresses three critical gaps:

• Data leakage through careless AI prompts
• Shadow AI usage outside IT visibility
• AI-specific attacks like prompt injection targeting internal AI systems

The Unit 8200 pedigree and the significant acquisition price signal that enterprise AI security is becoming a major category.
