Aurascape

Aurascape is an AI security platform that gives enterprises visibility, policy enforcement, and data protection across employee AI usage, AI agent development, and production agent runtime. It is built for security teams that need to govern shadow AI and Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool calls without blocking AI adoption.

Aurascape, Inc. is a Santa Clara, California AI security company that emerged from a year in stealth in April 2025 with $50 million in funding co-led by Mayfield Fund and Menlo Ventures, with Celesta Capital and angel investors including former Palo Alto Networks CEO Mark McLaughlin, former Symantec CEO Greg Clark, Walden International chairman Lip-Bu Tan, and former Zscaler chief strategy officer Manoj Apte. Founded and led by CEO Moinul Khan, the platform automatically discovers AI applications in use — including shadow AI and AI embedded inside trusted SaaS apps — decodes prompts, responses, user identity, and intent in real time, applies multimodal data protection across text, code, images, video, and audio, and enforces contextual, intent-based policy rather than blunt blocking. Its Auri agent delivers automated user coaching and natural-language summaries, and the platform supports sensitive-data tagging and automated unlearning in third-party AI apps. On March 17, 2026, Aurascape expanded the platform with an industry-first Zero-Bypass MCP Gateway, which combines with the company's AI Proxy to govern trusted tool use across Model Context Protocol connections, surface MCP server visibility and tool-call monitoring, reduce bypass risk in agent interactions, and add pre-deployment agent testing, production guardrails for live AI interactions, and code and dependency weakness detection for teams building custom agents and AI applications. As CEO Moinul Khan put it: "AI agents can access systems, use tools, and take action on behalf of the business. That changes the security problem completely."
