Traditional security models, built around infrastructure and identities, are proving inadequate for the AI era. The real vulnerability lies within the data itself – where it resides, how it’s classified, and who has access. Bedrock Data is tackling this head-on with its Metadata Lake, a system designed to continuously discover, classify, and map data across diverse environments, including on-premise systems, cloud platforms, SaaS applications, and AI models.
According to Bedrock’s own research, a significant number of security leaders lack a comprehensive understanding of the data they’re responsible for. This visibility gap only widens as AI adoption accelerates, creating opportunities for data breaches and compliance violations. Bedrock aims to bridge this gap by providing a unified view of data exposure, access controls, and data flow.
Beyond simply securing data, Bedrock is also focusing on AI governance. Its ArgusAI product offers organizations a direct view into the data accessed by their AI models and agents during training and inference. This visibility is crucial for ensuring that sensitive information isn’t leaked and that existing security measures are effective.
With AI becoming increasingly integrated into everyday workflows, the need for robust AI governance is no longer optional. ArgusAI’s natural-language policy controls aim to simplify the process of translating visibility into actionable security measures, making it easier for teams to enforce data protection policies.
Bedrock is gaining traction across data-intensive industries like finance and healthcare, demonstrating the broad applicability of its data-centric security approach. The company is also collaborating with security platforms like Wiz and Panther, integrating its data context into their existing solutions.
These integrations highlight the importance of a layered security approach, where data-level insights complement traditional infrastructure and identity-based security measures. By providing a deeper understanding of the data itself, Bedrock is helping organizations build more effective and resilient security postures.
The $25 million Series A funding provides Bedrock with the resources to scale its operations and meet the growing demand for AI-native data security solutions. As enterprises continue to embrace AI, the need for innovative approaches to data security will only intensify. Bedrock is positioning itself to be a key player in this evolving landscape, helping organizations navigate the complexities of securing and governing data in an AI-driven world.
