MIND Security
Share
MIND is on a mission to help organizations thrive in a digital world by protecting their most sensitive information.
MIND is the first-ever data security platform that puts data loss prevention (DLP) and insider risk management (IRM) programs on autopilot to automatically protect sensitive information, mitigate risk and preserve brand reputation. We enable businesses to mind what really matters—their most sensitive data. Founded and led by cybersecurity leaders and industry veterans, MIND is based out of Seattle, WA.

Softchoice let Itai Schwartz, Greg Stolhand, Isaac Leipprandt and Weston Maley from MIND loose in a boot store. 🤠
They all got together with some of Texas' finest CISOs at Lucchese Woodlands, and let's just say at least one person walked in wearing sneakers and walked out wondering how he ever lived without a heel.
The CISOs looked like they were born in their boots. Our urban cowboys, not so much. And it's already rubbing off. This morning someone on our team replied "much obliged" on Slack.
Thanks, Softchoice for a great event and great company. Same time next year? We'll work on our slow, confident saunter.
🤑 $72 million. Just one year after our Series A. And yes, we asked if it's being kept in the Scrooge McDuck vault.
🎧 On the new episode of Mind What Matters, Samuel Hill sits down with MIND Co-founder and CEO Eran Barak to talk about how our Series B came together so fast and where the new fuel goes next as AI agents make protecting sensitive data even harder.
Also on this episode:
→ Mike Hiltz, CISO at nference and Anumana, on why data lives everywhere, why endpoint visibility matters and what happens when users get "permission fatigue" with AI tools and just click allow
→ Mind the Headlines: IBM's Cost of a Data Breach report found shadow AI in 43% of breaches, up from 20% last year. Plus, the growing calls to slow down frontier AI
→ Liz Cook, our Global Head of Standards, reviews South Beach. 100% Liz approved. Well, almost.

Every security program has a step that waits for Kevin. Kevin approves the patch and Kevin triages the alert. Kevin is at the dentist until 2.
What’s the problem?
According to Forbes, one attacker spent about $8,000 and five days pointing AI agents at roughly 100 companies. The agents didn’t have to wait for anyone to act, so speed won.
In our new blog, we're upfront that DLP wouldn't have stopped this skimmer.
The more useful question is where your own program still waits on a person to notice something, in DLP or anywhere else.

Machine Speed vs Human Speed: Lessons From an AI Breach An AI-orchestrated skimmer hit 100 companies. Here's why no DLP program would have stopped it, and what actually would.

Michael Novinson at ISMG chats with MIND Co-Founder and CEO, Eran Barak, about the advanced DLP capabilities from MIND and what’s planned with the Series B round funding of $72 million.
It's not just that AI can find sensitive data faster, it's what MIIND AI DLP Agents actually do with that data once they find it.
Most DLP tools can tell you that a file contains sensitive data. They may not be able to tell you where it came from, what touched it on the way or how it ended up on that laptop in the first place.
That lineage gap has already been closed, and Eran highlights another one coming soon: MIND AI DLP Agents will analyze the lineage and present the analyst with the essential conclusion about what happened, allowing AI to determine the significance of user behavior.
We’ll leave the rest as a surprise for later. 😉

CISO Mike Hiltz on protecting AI, with AI
Mike is the CISO at both nference and Anumana, and he handles some of the most sensitive data in healthcare.
Listen to his insightful conversation with MIND's Samuel Hill about the questions every security leader is quietly asking right now:
❓ Does vibe coding hand agents your permissions without anyone noticing?
❓ Is classifying your data even enough anymore?
❓ Should AI agents have their own identities?
❓ And where does a human still need to be in the loop before an agent's decision becomes permanent?
If it's on Mike’s mind, it's probably on yours.

Mike Hiltz, CISO at nference AND Anumana, handles some of the most sensitive data in healthcare.
He joins MIND’s Samuel Hill for a real, unscripted conversation on the questions every security leader is quietly asking right now:
- Does vibe coding hand agents your permissions without anyone noticing?
- Is classifying your data even enough anymore?
- Should AI agents have their own identities?
- And where does a human still need to be in the loop before an agent's decision becomes permanent?
If it's on Mike’s mind, it's probably on yours.
When your business runs on AI, your data security should too. Right?

🌬️ MIND blew into the Windy City for IANS Chicago this week!
Big shoutout to Samuel Hill, Lauren Pfleger and Weston Maley for repping the team on the ground. And an extra round of applause for Samuel, who took the stage to break down "Stress Free DLP Powered by AI”, demonstrating that DLP can be simple, autonomous AND complete.
If "stress free" and "DLP" have never appeared in the same sentence for you before, that's exactly the gap MIND is closing.
Thanks to IANS for having us, and to everyone who stopped by to chat, ask hard questions, or just say hi. See you soon!
🅱️🚀 B is for Booya!
MIND just closed $72M in Series B funding, led by Crosspoint Capital Partners with Paladin Capital Group and YL Ventures, to bring our total funding to $112M just one year after our Series A.
It accelerates our ambition to lead the multibillion-dollar data loss prevention (DLP) market as AI transforms both the scale of the data security problem and what is possible in solving it.
90% of enterprises have deployed GenAI and two-thirds are already running AI agents. But 65% don't trust their AI data security controls, and 1 in 5 AI initiatives fail because of weak data foundations. Security teams are being asked to protect data moving at AI speed with tools built for a slower world.
“What matters most is how this will accelerate our growth and bring Stress Free DLP to every enterprise working to achieve AI governance and security." Eran Barak, Co-Founder & CEO of MIND
Conrad Band, CIO of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, speaks to what we mean by Stress Free DLP for every enterprise securing AI: “MIND lets us discover and block protected health information from entering AI tools across our endpoints without any performance impact. It’s given our team the confidence to keep moving forward with AI adoption while keeping patient data protected.”
Mark DeCarlo, Sr. Manager Security Engineering and Technology of National Geographic Society, expresses how we safely enable his organization's AI initiatives: “MIND is giving us something we didn't have before, which is visibility into where and when our data interacts with AI agents. It’s become a key part of how we protect data across our organization.”
This round fuels our next phase: to do more than just modernize an established category and, instead, to define the next era of DLP and establish MIND as its leader.

🚀✈️ MIND rolled into Houston for CyberSecCon this week!
A big thanks to our team members Greg Stolhand, Isaac Leipprandt and Landen Brown for representing MIND.
A special shoutout to Landen, who presented "AI Can Be Itself, You or Nobody", exploring how complete visibility into every file, permission and activity across data at rest and data in motion creates a broader foundation for governing AI.
Great conversations, great insights and great team!

🎉 Help us welcome Chris Schwindy, our new Technical Account Manager, to the team at MIND!
🏕️ Chris can roundhouse kick with the best of them, build and lead a SOC team or a Customer Success program and thrive while camping under the stars in Southern Arizona.
Apparently he's not as great at DIY and don't even talk to him about eating Brussels sprouts.
Why did Chris join MIND? "After years of sitting across the table from customers and hearing the same pain points come up again and again, joining MIND was a no-brainer. It's a rare case where the solution actually matches the scale of the problem, and does it in a way that doesn't add complexity to already-stretched teams."
🐎 He's been through the desert on a horse with no name (his personal theme song), and now we get to welcome him to our oasis at MIND!
