HiddenLayer, Concentric AI and Mondoo were among the coolest cybersecurity startup companies at RSAC 2023.

Concentric AI
In April, Concentric AI unveiled a new channel partner program with a promise for better enablement for partners selling the startup’s intelligent, artificial intelligence based services for autonomous data security posture management (DSPM).
The Saratoga, Calif.-based startup also has optimized large language model support for the DSPM service for greater security and protection, according to Concentric. The startup also offers machine learning-powered data scanning and categorization, data risk identification and centralized remediation among its capabilities.
Last year, CRN deemed Concentric one of the “10 Hottest Cybersecurity Products At Black Hat 2022.” The startup raised a $14.5 million Series A round of funding last year.
CEO Karthik Krishnan founded Concentric in 2018, according to his LinkedIn account. He previously worked at Niara for about four years, through the company’s acquisition by Hewlett Packard Enterprise in 2017.
Krishnan left HPE in 2018 with the title of vice president of product management.
