In a decisive move to build trusted AI ecosystems, Inception, a G42 company and the region’s leading innovator in domain-specific AI solutions, has entered into a strategic agreement with Ireland-based Mirror Security, a global leader in GenAI-native cybersecurity. The collaboration aims to co-develop advanced security products purpose-built to protect AI systems, agents, and data across government and enterprise environments in the Middle East and beyond.
As generative AI drives digital transformation, security has emerged as the biggest barrier to enterprise-scale deployment. According to the World Economic Forum, 93% of cybersecurity leaders believe AI-driven threats will dramatically reshape the risk landscape in the next two years. Yet, only 5% of organizations feel confident in the security of their AI and machine learning systems—revealing a critical gap in enterprise readiness and trust.
“Secure, scalable AI starts with protecting every agent and eliminating data exposure risks.”
— Pankaj Thapa, Co-founder & CEO, Mirror Security
This partnership directly targets that gap, combining Inception’s agentic AI capabilities and deep domain expertise with Mirror Security’s AI-native protection technologies, including agentic security, automated red teaming, and encrypted AI processing. The result will be a new breed of AI-for-security and security-for-AI solutions tailored for governments, regulated industries, and digital-first enterprises seeking sovereign AI compliance, privacy, and resilience.
“Unlocking AI’s true potential demands innovation and uncompromising security.”
— Ashish Koshy, CEO, Inception
“Unlocking the true potential of AI requires advanced innovation on one hand and full compliance, security and trust on the other,” said Ashish Koshy, CEO of Inception. “Mirror Security’s world-class expertise, coupled with Inception’s Agentic AI capabilities, would result in AI-for-security products that are dependable and reliable, giving greater confidence to our customers as they realize their AI ambitions.”
Echoing this vision, Pankaj Thapa, Co-founder & CEO at Mirror Security, added, “The convergence of regulatory pressure, advanced persistent threats, and AI-driven innovations requires organizations to deploy new security paradigms. Our partnership with Inception brings together their enterprise AI capabilities with our AI security suite to deliver secure, scalable AI while eliminating data exposure risk and ensuring sovereign AI compliance.”
Aligned with the UAE’s ambition to become a global leader in trusted AI, the partnership is poised to accelerate the development of resilient AI ecosystems that not only innovate—but protect, govern, and inspire confidence.
