Mirror Security is a research-driven cybersecurity company spun out of University College Dublin - NovaUCD in May 2024. The company focuses on enabling organizations to use AI on sensitive data through encrypted inference technology, allowing AI models to process data without exposing it in cleartext. The company's approach centers on three core principles: keeping data encrypted end-to-end, ensuring encryption keys remain with the data owner, and preventing proprietary intelligence and patterns from being exposed to external AI systems. This architecture is designed to address the challenge organizations face when they need to leverage AI capabilities while maintaining control over sensitive information, particularly in regulated and sovereignty-focused environments. Mirror Security's technology runs AI where sensitive data already resides, maintaining encryption throughout the inference process. This prevents both raw data and the intelligence derived from it—including signals, patterns, and decision logic—from flowing into external models and infrastructure outside the organization's control. The company was founded by Dr. Aditya Narayana K, who has over two decades of experience in security, cryptography, privacy, and machine learning with previous roles at RSA, Boeing, Rapid7, Symantec, and Tenable, and Pankaj Thapa, who brings more than twenty years of experience building enterprise and security products at companies including Azingo (acquired by Motorola/Google), Mobiliya (acquired by QuEST Global), and Digital14 (acquired by Edge Group). The company targets regulated enterprises and organizations with data sovereignty requirements.
