A long time ago...

Our Beginnings

We're builders on a mission. We're obsessed with building products that make the world a more secure place. Over the course of our careers we've built countless enterprise security products at both startups as well as Splunk, Cisco, Amazon, Palo Alto Networks, Sourcefire, Symantec, and McAfee.

We believe the future of business depends on the secure and trustworthy use of AI. As organizations rapidly adopt generative AI, two distinct but equally critical challenges have emerged:

  • For security teams: enabling and securing AI usage across the enterprise, addressing the risks of shadow AI, preventing sensitive data leakage, and ensuring compliance with evolving regulations.
  • For product teams: protecting homegrown AI workloads such as agents and AI factories from prompt injection, data exfiltration, and misuse—without slowing innovation.

We’re proud to be the only AI security platform built to solve both sides of the equation with a single control plane. Our technology provides deep visibility and control across every AI interaction—whether through enterprise applications, AI and API gateways, or homegrown agents. Pangea delivers:

  • AI Governance, Detection & Response: Detect and manage unauthorized AI usage, stop AI threats, enforce policies, and prevent data leakage.
  • AI Workload Protection: Secure homegrown AI systems and applications against adversarial attacks and misuse, with SDKs and integrations that embed protection directly into the stack.
By combining AI governance, detection, and response, Pangea empowers enterprises to innovate confidently and securely—bridging the gap between security leaders and builders and setting the standard for how AI should be secured.

Our Culture and Principles

The way we treat our team members, customers, partners, investors, and anyone interested in Pangea are core to who we are.

We operate, hire, and live by our company principles, and are proud to share them with the world:
