The story of AncileBase and the team building the world's first AI-native security layer.
AncileBase was founded in 2024 by a group of security engineers and systems architects who realized that the transition to AI-native applications would break existing infrastructure security models.
Our mission is to enable the safe deployment of autonomous AI agents. We believe that AI has the potential to solve humanity's greatest challenges, but only if we can trust the infrastructure it runs on. AncileBase provides the "ancile"—the sacred shield—that protects your most critical assets in a world of machine-speed threats.
Modern SaaS infrastructure is becoming increasingly complex. Between ephemeral containers, serverless functions, and autonomous agents, the "perimeter" has effectively vanished. Traditional security tools are too slow, too rigid, and too disconnected from the application context.
We've built a security layer that is as dynamic as the applications it protects. By leveraging high-performance Rust modules, eBPF kernel hooks, and edge-native AI, we provide real-time protection that understands not just the "what" but the "why" behind every system interaction.
We are a distributed team of engineers, researchers, and security practitioners. Our backgrounds span high-frequency trading, cloud-native infrastructure, and offensive security. We are backed by some of the most respected investors in the security and AI space.
Want to join us? We're always looking for brilliant minds who are passionate about systems, security, and the future of AI. Check out our careers page for open roles.
