Co-founded in 2024 by Keshava Murthy and Harsh Sahu, Matters.AI is an AI-native data security platform that thinks like an engineer. By unifying DSPM, Insider Risk, DDR, Exfiltration Defense, and DLP into one intelligent layer, it understands what data means, who is interacting with it, and why, stopping threats before they become incidents. The platform aims to protect enterprises across India and the world. According to Matters.AI, the AI Security Engineer is a self-learning system that understands how sensitive data behaves, predicts misuse before it happens, and responds autonomously across cloud, SaaS, endpoints, and on-premises environments. It uses semantic graphs and predictive models to understand context and intent. Matters.AI offers full stack visibility including endpoint visibility and control through real-time data tracing, data lineage and fingerprinting to track how data moves and why, on-premises and SaaS deployments for hybrid enterprises, GenAI governance across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot, and native integrations with Zoho, Snowflake, Salesforce, AWS, Azure, GCP, and Databricks. It competes with other notable players in this space such as Cyera, Orca Security, and Palo Alto Networks.
