Cyborg, a company focused on enabling organizations to build and scale high-performance AI systems securely, has announced a new partnership with Austin Artificial Intelligence. This collaboration aims to secure end-to-end AI infrastructure in Austin Artificial Intelligence’s customer deployments, leveraging Cyborg’s flagship product, CyborgDB.
CyborgDB is an end-to-end-encrypted vector database designed for regulated industries. It allows organizations to develop and scale AI systems while maintaining security and compliance. The product is engineered for real-world AI applications, offering sub-millisecond latency for searching hundreds of millions of vectors without exposing any plaintext data.
Industry organizations, such as OWASP, have identified vectors and embeddings as rapidly emerging areas of vulnerability within AI systems. Concurrently, Fortune Business Insights projects the vector database market to grow to nearly $18 billion by 2034. This partnership reflects a broader industry emphasis on moving beyond functional AI to securely operationalized AI in production environments.
Nico Dupont, Founder and CEO of Cyborg, commented on the development: “AI adoption is accelerating, but security has lagged behind. This partnership with Austin AI demonstrates that secure, production-ready AI infrastructure is not just possible – it’s already being deployed.”
Austin Artificial Intelligence operates as a consultancy, assisting organizations in integrating AI across their strategy, operations, and decision-making processes. The partnership seeks to mitigate friction traditionally encountered when deploying AI into production, where security concerns can impede productivity, thereby establishing secure AI as a standard practice.
Robert Corwin, CEO of Austin Artificial Intelligence, stated: “Our customers want to deploy AI on sensitive data without introducing new risk. Partnering with Cyborg allows us to confidently bring end-to-end security into production AI systems, giving enterprises the confidence to move faster and scale AI safely.”
Cyborg’s mission is to integrate security as a fundamental component of enterprise AI. CyborgDB, its primary offering, functions as a vector database proxy that facilitates true encryption-in-use, ensuring vectors, metadata, and encryption keys are protected throughout all processing stages. The product integrates with existing database infrastructure without requiring a new data plane. Austin Artificial Intelligence offers consultancy services for designing, building, and deploying AI solutions, driving efficiency and growth for clients in various sectors including finance, energy, healthcare, technology, and industrials. The firm is based in Austin, TX.
