About Onyx

Meet the company behind the first secure AI control plane.

Our Story

Onyx was founded around a single goal: to control the most advanced forms of AI. As AI shifted from assistive to operational - embedded in core workflows, granted permissions, and empowered to take real actions across systems - we saw a dangerous gap emerge. Enterprises were deploying autonomous agents faster than they could see, govern, or control them.

We started Onyx to close that gap. Our secure AI control plane offers a single platform to serve security, governance, and infrastructure teams as they oversee how AI agents are used, ensure they are secure and compliant, and measure their effectiveness. Ultimately, Onyx helps companies maximize the value from AI and minimize the risk.

"Al agents are the biggest enterprise platform shift since cloud. The winners won't just secure Al, they'll operationalize it with a secure Al control plane that gives leaders confidence to deploy agents broadly without losing control. The Onyx team has the experience, depth, and conviction to tackle this from first principles and build a category-defining company."

“Responsible AI adoption depends on clear, concise visibility across your entire AI ecosystem. Onyx provides the visibility, governance, enforcement, and auditability we need to effectively manage AI risk across copilots and other tools, while still empowering teams to move fast. It enables us to control AI usage, protect what matters most, and accelerate the business at the same time.”

“Onyx gives us end-to-end oversight over AI - across SaaS, cloud, and endpoints - with a secure control plane that can consistently enforce our policies. This enables us to double down on AI adoption across the company.”
