RYNO addresses the dynamic, autonomous nature of GenAI, which introduces risks like prompt injections, data leakage, and shadow AI usage. “GenAI introduces a fundamentally different risk profile—it’s fast, autonomous, and increasingly agentic,” said Satyam Sinha, Founder and CEO of Acuvity. “RYNO is the first platform that can understand intent, adapt to behavior, and protect sensitive data in real time.”
The platform’s four core pillars ensure secure AI adoption without stifling innovation:
Full Spectrum Visibility: Monitors GenAI usage across employees, apps, and agents, detecting unsanctioned tools and access risks.
Adaptive Risk Engine: Analyzes interactions to identify threats like prompt injection and unauthorized tool use.
Contextual Intelligence (ContextIQ™): Understands user intent, data sensitivity, and application context for precise threat detection.
Dynamic Policy Engine: Enforces real-time, context-aware policies to balance security and productivity.
RYNO’s six advanced features secure the entire GenAI lifecycle:
Shadow AI Discovery: Identifies unsanctioned GenAI usage across browsers and developer tools.
DLP++: Uses contextual inspection to prevent sensitive data leakage in real time.
Threat Protection: Detects prompt-based exploits, model abuse, and agent manipulation.
AI Firewall: Provides runtime inspection and behavioral protection for model interactions.
AI Runtime Security: Secures agents and applications across development, testing, and production.
MCP Security: Protects the Model Context Protocol for agentic AI infrastructure.
“Acuvity’s RYNO gave us granular, context-aware access controls, AI-specific threat detection, and real-time monitoring,” said Rutul Dave, CTO at Maxwell, highlighting seamless integration with identity systems and immediate risk reduction.
RYNO’s launch aligns with the $12.64B AI security market’s projected 26.6% CAGR through 2030, driven by rapid GenAI adoption. Acuvity’s platform, recognized with two 2025 Global InfoSec Awards for “Most Innovative” in GenAI Agentic Application Security and GenAI Access Security, addresses emerging threats like data exfiltration and model poisoning. Posts on X praise RYNO’s ability to provide visibility and compliance, with @DigitalITNews1 noting its role in empowering secure innovation.
Acuvity’s prior innovations, including one-click GenAI Service Risk Evaluation for services like DeepSeek, demonstrate its proactive approach to emerging threats. With a European office opened in Greece in February 2025, Acuvity is expanding globally to meet growing demand.
Built by former Palo Alto Networks executives, RYNO integrates with enterprise identity providers (SAML, OIDC) and SIEMs like Splunk, offering pluggable security that accelerates AI application development without code changes. Its ContextIQ™ engine ensures precise threat detection by correlating user identity, data sensitivity, and interaction context, making it ideal for industries like finance and healthcare.
Available now for enterprise deployments, RYNO empowers organizations to embrace GenAI confidently.
Acuvity is the AI Security Company. We build purpose-built technology to protect the modern enterprise from risks introduced by GenAI, autonomous agents, and emerging AI-driven systems. Our flagship platform, RYNO, secures GenAI at every layer—enabling responsible, secure AI adoption at scale.
