About BladeRun — Founders of InAuth and Smobile

Why BladeRun Exists

Your AI agents are initiating wires, accessing accounts, and spawning sub-agents — at machine speed, with no audit trail and no kill switch. Your security tools were built for a world where humans made decisions and software followed instructions. That world is over.

BladeRun is a runtime security platform that sits in the AI API call path and governs every action your agents take. We built it because we've spent two decades inside bank security programs, and we know this gap cannot be closed by retrofitting endpoint tools or adding a compliance checkbox.

Our Story

We've done this at banks before — twice

BladeRun is not a first attempt. It is a third company, in the same domain, by the same founders, with the same bank relationships.

InAuth — acquired by American Express (2016). We built a device intelligence and authentication platform that became the trust layer for mobile banking at the largest US banks and card networks.

Smobile — acquired by Juniper Networks (2010). We built enterprise mobile security infrastructure before MDM was a category — the security layer for mobile endpoints when every bank was asking the same question they ask about AI agents today.

We've gone through OCC examiner scrutiny. We've shipped products that became regulatory expectations. Think InAuth — but for AI agents.

Leadership

The same team that built the trust layer for mobile banking is now building it for AI agents

Paul Marsolan

Co-Founder & CEO

Chris Moos

Co-Founder & CTO

Deep expertise in AI systems and enterprise security architecture. Building the runtime security layer that governs every AI agent action in real time.

Our Values

Principles that guide everything we build

Security First

We obsess over security because our customers' trust depends on it. Every feature, every line of code is evaluated through a security lens.

Speed Matters

Security shouldn't slow you down. We build systems that protect without adding latency or friction to developer workflows.

Research-Driven

Our products are built on cutting-edge research in adversarial ML, prompt engineering, and AI safety. We publish and contribute to the community.

Customer Obsessed

We succeed when our customers succeed. We build what enterprises need, not what's trendy. Every feature ships with enterprise-grade support.

Open Standards

We align with OWASP, MITRE ATLAS, and NIST frameworks. Interoperability and transparency are core to our approach.

Continuous Innovation

AI threats evolve daily. Our platform learns and adapts continuously, so you're always protected against the latest attack vectors.
