Inception, a G42 company and a leading Abu Dhabi-based innovator in AI-powered solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with Ireland’s Mirror Security, a global leader in Generative AI security. The agreement will see the two companies co-develop advanced AI security products tailored for government entities and enterprises, aiming to meet the rising regional demand for sophisticated security solutions.
Addressing a Critical Security Gap
As industries across the MENA region and the globe accelerate their adoption of generative AI, security has emerged as the primary obstacle to large-scale enterprise deployment. Citing a World Economic Forum study, 93% of cybersecurity leaders anticipate that AI-driven threats will significantly alter the risk landscape within the next two years. Despite this rapid adoption, a mere 5% of organizations express high confidence in their security measures for AI and machine learning platforms, revealing a significant gap in trust and resilience.
This new partnership directly addresses this demand for robust, AI-native security. By combining their expertise, Inception and Mirror Security will empower public and private sector organizations to move from AI strategy to secure, scalable implementations without compromising data privacy or regulatory compliance, directly supporting the UAE’s ambition to build a globally competitive AI ecosystem.
Combining Agentic AI with GenAI Security
The collaboration leverages the distinct strengths of both companies to create a powerful synergy for developing next-generation security products.
Ashish Koshy, CEO of Inception, commented on the agreement, stating, “Unlocking the true potential of AI requires advanced innovation on one hand and full compliance, security and trust on the other. Mirror Security’s world-class expertise in developing AI security solutions, coupled with Inception’s Agentic AI capabilities would result in the creation of AI-for-security products that are dependable and reliable, which in turn will give greater confidence to our customers as they realize their AI ambitions.”
Pankaj Thapa, Co-founder & CEO at Mirror Security, added, “The convergence of regulatory pressure, advanced persistent threats, and AI-driven innovations requires organizations to deploy new security paradigms to confidently unlock AI’s potential. Our partnership with Inception combines their proven enterprise AI capabilities with our AI security suite that protects single and complex multi-agent systems to deliver secure, scalable AI while eliminating data exposure risk to ensure sovereign AI compliance for public and private sector customers.”
