AI Security Firm Tnaps Secures 4.5 Billion Won
AI security startup Tnaps has completed an early-stage investment round worth 4.5 billion won ($3.3 million). The round was led by Mirae Asset Venture Investment, with Mirae Asset Capital, Murex Partners, and Kakao Ventures jointly participating.
Tnaps is developing "AI Trust Layer," a runtime security infrastructure that verifies and controls AI agents' answers and actions at the execution stage. The moment AI actually operates, a two-stage detection and judgment structure identifies and blocks major risks such as hallucinations, data leaks, and jailbreaks. All judgment processes are automatically saved as legally valid audit records, clearly proving the decision-making path and accountability in the event of an incident.
Tnaps is currently conducting proof-of-concept (PoC) projects with major domestic commercial banks. Starting with the financial sector, the company plans to expand into medical, public, and enterprise markets to seize the global AI security infrastructure category.
