Opsin Is Now Part of the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) Startup Showcase

Opsin, an AI security company, has joined the CSA Startup Showcase, a program run by the Cloud Security Alliance that highlights startups working on cloud security, AI security, and emerging technology risks.

San Francisco, CA [01/28]- Opsin today announced its inclusion in the Cloud Security Alliance Startup Showcase, commonly referred to as the CSA Startup Showcase. The program brings visibility to companies building new approaches to security as enterprises accelerate adoption of cloud and AI technologies.

Opsin is proud to be part of the CSA Startup Showcase community alongside other emerging startups focused on modern security challenges.

The CSA Startup Showcase and Enterprise AI Environments

The CSA Startup Showcase highlights companies addressing security challenges created by rapid adoption of cloud services and AI systems. Enterprises are deploying copilots, agents, and AI applications faster than they can build mature data governance programs.

These systems access and generate sensitive data inside AI workflows, rather than through traditional channels where tools like DLP, CASB, and DSPM were designed to operate. As a result, many organizations lack clear visibility into how enterprise AI environments are using data.

Opsin was built to address this shift.

AI Security and the Enterprise Reality

AI is changing how enterprise data is accessed and shared. Copilots and agents operate continuously, often with broad permissions and limited oversight. Employee-built AI applications connect directly to sensitive systems.

Security teams are expected to manage this risk without slowing the business, yet most existing tools were not designed for these patterns of access and data use. This gap is becoming increasingly visible as AI adoption scales.

Why Opsin Was Selected for the CSA Startup Showcase

In Opsin’s view, being included in the CSA Startup Showcase highlights growing recognition that AI security requires a purpose-built approach.

Opsin focuses on helping enterprises understand what data is actually at risk through AI usage. This includes identifying which AI systems can access sensitive data, how that data is used, and why certain configurations create exposure.

Opsin believes that evaluating AI-driven risk using full context across identity, data, prompts, responses, and ownership helps security teams focus on meaningful issues rather than noisy or speculative alerts. This explanation represents Opsin’s perspective on its work and approach and does not reflect an official position or endorsement by the Cloud Security Alliance.

FAQ

What is the CSA Startup Showcase?

The CSA Startup Showcase is a program run by the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) that highlights innovative early-stage companies addressing critical challenges in cloud and cybersecurity.

It is designed to:

  • Curate and validate startups building impactful security technologies.
  • Give enterprises, investors, and practitioners early visibility into emerging solutions.
  • Provide startups with exposure through CSA events, research, and industry channels.

Being selected for the CSA Startup Showcase signals that a company’s technology aligns with CSA’s cloud security principles and is viewed as meaningfully advancing the security ecosystem.

Is Opsin part of the CSA Startup Showcase?

Yes. Opsin is listed as part of the Cloud Security Alliance Startup Showcase.

How does the CSA Startup Showcase help enterprises evaluate AI security tools?

The CSA Startup Showcase helps enterprises evaluate AI security tools by acting as a trusted pre-screening layer, highlighting startups whose solutions align with established cloud and AI security best practices.

For enterprise buyers, it:

  • Reduces vendor risk by spotlighting companies aligned with CSA’s cloud security principles.
  • Surfaces emerging AI security capabilities early, before they are widely adopted or commoditized.
  • Provides context through CSA research, events, and frameworks that make it easier to compare tools against real-world cloud and GenAI risk scenarios.

This allows security and risk leaders to focus evaluation efforts on credible, forward-looking vendors rather than starting from an unfiltered market landscape.

Is the CSA Startup Showcase focused on AI security?

The CSA Startup Showcase includes startups working across cloud security, AI security, and emerging technology risks. As AI adoption accelerates, many companies in the showcase are addressing security challenges created by enterprise use of copilots, agents, and AI applications.
