BurstIQ offers an AI data management platform that creates unique “Lifegraphs” for each datum and its respective metadata dimensions of organizational, role, and user-based responsibility atop an AI data store. Cryptographically sealed contracts on an integrated private blockchain ensure least privilege access to each tokenized graph, so AI agents and LLMs can safely conduct queries, run inference workloads and share results against auto-generated APIs.
The separation of concerns of each metadata reference, the data objects themselves, and how they are accessed and used offers an interesting way to build compliance and trust into AI-powered software… [Read more] | |

Enginsight offers a unified security management platform that includes ASM, EDR, SIEM, and SOAR functionality for MSP partners to offer MDR capabilities to their SME customers.
This alphabet soup is more the fault of the large analyst firms than Enginsight. A translation key for the abbreviation-challenged: ASM = attack surface management; EDR = endpoint detection and response; SIEM = security information and event management; SOAR = service orchestration, automation, and response; MSP = managed service provider; MDR = managed detection and response; and SME = small and medium-sized enterprise ...

Espresso AI offers a drop-in machine-learning-driven solution that they claim can reduce data costs by as much as 70 percent by taking thousands of real-time actions in a production Snowflake environment to optimize compute, ingest and storage resource usage.
That’s a pretty tall claim, but when you think about the exponentially increasing consumption of data driven by various flavors of AI, advanced analytics, and fast-scaling distributed services, it stands to reason there could be room for shaving off resources from a multi-million dollar cloud data bill ...
