"As companies deploy AI-powered chatbots, agents, and copilots across their operations, they're facing a new risk: how do you let employees and AI agents use powerful AI tools without accidentally leaking sensitive data, violating compliance rules, or opening the door to prompt-based injections? Witness AI just raised $58 million to find a solution, building what they call "the confidence layer for enterprise AI.""
"Today on TechCrunch's Equity podcast, Rebecca Bellan was joined by Barmak Meftah, co-founder and partner at Ballistic Ventures, and Rick Caccia, CEO of Witness AI, to discuss what enterprises are actually worried about, why AI security become an $800 billion to $1.2 trillion market by 2031, and what happens when AI agents start talking to other AI agents without human oversight."
Companies are deploying AI-powered chatbots, agents, and copilots across operations. This deployment creates risks of leaking sensitive data, violating compliance rules, and enabling prompt-based injections. Witness AI raised $58 million to build a confidence layer intended to prevent those problems for enterprise AI. Enterprise concerns include uncontrolled agent interactions, regulatory exposure, and operational risk as AI agents communicate without human oversight. AI security is projected to scale into an $800 billion to $1.2 trillion market by 2031. The topic is available through major podcast and social distribution channels for interested listeners.
