Levo.ai is a cybersecurity company based in San Francisco, California, founded in 2021. They help businesses keep their APIs and artificial intelligence (AI) systems safe by offering software that monitors activity, detects risks, and enforces security policies. Levo.ai uses advanced technology, such as eBPF-based sensors, to monitor data as it moves across cloud services, company data centers, and hybrid setups, making security simpler and more effective for modern organizations.[1][2][3]

History

[edit]

Levo.ai was established in 2021 with the objective of enabling developers and security teams to build secure software efficiently. Leveraging industry expertise, the company sought to address the limitations of legacy network security tools in comparison to contemporary application programming interface (API)-based systems. Early adoption of the extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) framework demonstrated that enhanced visibility and high performance are compatible, reinforcing Levo.ai's commitment to advanced security solutions.[4][5][1] From 2021 to 2024, Levo developed tools for API discovery, runtime monitoring, and automated vulnerability remediation across distributed environments.[6] In October 2025, the company introduced the Unified AI Security Platform, expanding its runtime model from APIs to AI ecosystems, including AI applications, large-language-model (LLM) systems, agents, Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, and vector databases under a single control plane.[2][7][3][8]

Products and technology

[edit]

Levo.ai develops integrated security platforms that incorporate runtime observability, documentation, monitoring, threat detection, vulnerability detection, and compliance management for application programming interfaces (APIs) and artificial intelligence (AI) workloads. The platform architecture utilizes extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) sensors to collect low-level system telemetry, enabling real-time analysis without requiring modifications to application code.[4][1]

API Security Platform Overview

Levo’s initial product, the API Security Platform, provides automated discovery, continuous testing, and runtime protection for APIs deployed in hybrid and multi-cloud environments. The platform identifies misconfigurations and exploits, correlates findings with source code repositories, and integrates remediation workflows to support development teams.[6]

Unified AI Security Platform Overview

In 2025, Levo.ai introduced the Unified AI Security Platform to address security risks in artificial intelligence environments. This platform delivers visibility and protection across AI components and data pipelines, with additional capabilities like Monitoring and governance, Threat detection and Red teaming.[2][7][3][8]

Funding and investors

[edit]

Levo.ai is a privately held company backed by Foundation Capital, with investor Sid Trivedi among its early supporters.[1]
