About
Pillar Security provides an end-to-end AI security platform that discovers, tests, secures, and governs AI agents across organizations, addressing the full lifecycle of AI security from development through runtime. The platform offers four core capability areas: AI Discovery and Posture (cataloging AI agents, models, prompts, frameworks, tools, MCP servers, skills, and coding agents through agentless integrations, including shadow AI, with AI-SPM for tracing dependencies and scanning configurations), Agentic Red Teaming (executing multi-turn adversarial attacks against complete AI systems to test tool orchestration, permission escalation, and agentic workflows, with attack transcripts and reproduction steps), Runtime Guardrails (self-improving protection that refines itself from red teaming findings and real-world interactions, with data privacy enforcement for PII, PHI, credentials, and secrets, plus agent behavior monitoring and observability), and Governance and Compliance (translating governance policies into technical controls, extending governance to third-party AI providers, and generating audit-ready reports mapped to leading standards). Pillar has developed the SAIL 2.0 Framework, the first process-driven guide to building AI security roadmaps, created in collaboration with over 30 AI security experts including CISOs and security architects. The platform is deployed in the customer's own VPC, holds SOC 2 Type II certification, and supports RBAC. Pillar has been named a 2026 Gartner Cool Vendor in AI Software Security, recognized in 8 of 9 categories in OWASP's Agentic AI Security Landscape, named to CRN's 10 Hottest AI Security Startups of 2026, and received the Frost and Sullivan Competitive Strategy Leadership Award.
