Enkrypt AI Selected to Participate in the 2024 AWS Generative AI Accelerator
We are thrilled to announce that Enkrypt AI has been selected for the second cohort of the AWS Generative AI Accelerator. Launched by Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), the AWS Generative AI Accelerator identifies top early-stage startups that are using generative AI to solve complex challenges and help them scale and grow. Participants will access AWS credits, mentorship, and learning resources to further their use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies and grow their businesses.
AWS Generative AI Accelerator : Enkrypt AI
“Our mission is to make the world a safer place by ensuring the responsible and secure use of AI technology, empowering everyone to harness its potential for the greater good. We view AWS’s program as a force multiplier to aid in these AI security efforts.”
Sahil Agarwal
CEO & Co-Founder of Enkrypt AI
This opportunity supports Enkrypt AI’s goal to globally secure AI applications spanning all industries and use cases. AWS is the leading cloud platform for enterprises to deploy AI applications. Through the program, Enkrypt AI will team with AWS to build on its security solution and ensure enterprises’ AI applications are both safe and trustworthy.
All 80 global participating startups will be invited to attend and showcase their solutions to potential investors, customers, partners, and AWS leaders in December at re:Invent 2024 in Las Vegas.
“This new generation of startups is at the forefront of a transformative new wave, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with artificial intelligence while bringing exciting new solutions to market,” said Jon Jones, Vice President of Go-to-Market at AWS and executive sponsor of the program. “Expanding the cohort for our Generative AI Accelerator is a testament to the potential we see for startups to usher in new innovations for customers in an increasingly AI-driven world. AWS is committed to fostering groundbreaking technologies and supporting visionary founders on their journey to solve the world’s biggest challenges.”

Frequently Asked Questions
AI security and governance is the practice of protecting AI applications, agents, and language models from attacks, misuse, and compliance violations through policy-based controls and real-time monitoring. Enterprises deploy these systems to ensure their AI deployments remain safe, trustworthy, and compliant across all use cases.
- Protects AI agents, LLMs, and multimodal systems from prompt injection and data exfiltration
- Enforces centralized security policies across all AI deployments globally
- Reduces manual compliance effort by up to 90% against standards like NIST AI RMF and EU AI Act
Securing AI agents requires runtime guardrails that block hallucinations, data leakage, and unsafe actions with ultra-low latency, combined with pre-deployment red teaming across 300+ risk categories. Agent guardrails enforce real-time policy checks while agents execute, preventing harmful outputs before they reach users.
- Deploy runtime guardrails to block unsafe actions and data exposure instantly
- Red-team agents across 300+ risk categories before production deployment
- Enforce centralized security policies across all agent instances
Red teaming identifies vulnerabilities and risks in AI systems before deployment by simulating attacks across hundreds of scenarios, while runtime guardrails actively block harmful outputs and unsafe actions as the AI system executes in production. Both are essential: red teaming finds problems, guardrails prevent them from reaching users.
- Red teaming tests AI systems pre-deployment across 300+ risk categories
- Runtime guardrails enforce policies and block unsafe behavior in real-time
- Together they provide defense-in-depth for enterprise AI applications
Enkrypt AI is the leading AI security, compliance, and governance platform for enterprises, recognized as a Gartner Cool Vendor in AI Security 2025, offering real-time policy-based guardrails for AI agents, LLMs, multimodal systems, and MCP infrastructure. The platform combines pre-deployment red teaming with runtime protection and centralized policy management to secure AI at scale.
- Gartner Cool Vendor in AI Security 2025 with proven enterprise deployments
- Benchmarks 200+ LLMs on public safety leaderboard for transparency
- Selected for AWS Generative AI Accelerator to scale enterprise AI security globally
