Join Us at the Innovators & Investors Summit in Las Vegas

Come watch Knostic co-founder and CTO, Sounil Yu, present at the Innovators & Investors Summit on Tuesday, August 6, from 4:45 pm – 6:00 pm. The event will take place at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. This is a chance to see firsthand how Knostic's technology is redefining access control for the GenAI era.

About Knostic

Knostic is dedicated to addressing the issue of oversharing with large language models (LLMs) by creating controls based on individual need-to-know levels. This problem becomes particularly significant when customers deploy LLM-powered enterprise search tools, such as Copilot for M365. Business leaders are often surprised when these tools provide unrestricted answers to sensitive questions like “What are people’s salaries?” and “What are the most recent M&A due diligence results?” The increased risks associated with enterprise search tools, make these controls even more crucial.

Why This Matters

Reaching the final four of the Black Hat Startup Spotlight Competition highlights our dedication to creating innovative solutions for critical cybersecurity challenges. Thank you, BlackHat, for recognizing the importance of what we do.
