Symmetry Systems provides a Data+AI Security platform designed for Fortune 500 enterprises operating across cloud, SaaS, and on-premises environments. The platform addresses data protection, identity risk management, and AI governance by providing visibility and control over data access and usage. The company's core offering, DataGuard, delivers granular visibility into data stores and objects across hybrid cloud environments. The platform enables organizations to understand what data they have, where it resides, who can access it, and how it is being used. This approach supports compliance requirements, least-privilege access enforcement, and data security posture management (DSPM). Symmetry Systems expanded its product line in 2024 to address generative AI security challenges, including protection for Microsoft Copilot deployments. The Data+AI Security offerings include a Gen AI inventory that detects AI and large language model deployments while assessing associated data risks. The platform also addresses vulnerabilities like "Confused Pilot" attacks that target AI agent implementations. Founded in 2019 by Casen Hunger and Dr. Mohit Tiwari at UT Austin's Spark Research Lab, the company emerged from research on preserving data privacy in untrusted environments. Symmetry Systems has raised over $35 million in funding from investors including ForgePoint Capital, Prefix Capital, W11, and Accenture Ventures. The company was recognized as a Gartner Cool Vendor in 2022 and has been featured in multiple Gartner reports on data security.
