The news is out! We are thrilled to announce a strategic investment from M12, Microsoft's Venture Fund. As enterprises rush to adopt enterprise copilots and low-code development platforms, such as Microsoft’s own offerings of Microsoft Copilot, Power Platform, Copilot Studio, and Fabric, it is the first time that business users are at the forefront of, and in control of, business application and AI development. The responsibility falls to security teams, not the platform providers, to go deep to identify all the apps, copilots, and bots being created, and assess them for risk; something that Zenity directly addresses with its SaaS platform. Zenity CEO Ben Kliger states, "We are excited to be partnering with M12 to continue our mission of helping enterprises securely unleash the use of AI copilots and low-code development... This investment allows us to leverage Microsoft’s resources to accelerate our growth and work closely on a joint go-to-market strategy, enhancing the security and success of our mutual customers."
