- **Runtime Protection**: Real-time detection of abuse, anomalous behavior, and active attacks across the full agentic stack (LLMs, MCP servers, APIs).

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available (company is private; Crunchbase tags it as a “Unicorn”)
- **Key Metric**: Total funding – not disclosed; last round was a Venture – Series Unknown in September 2022
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Backed by 18 investors including **CrowdStrike Falcon Fund** and **Sequoia Capital**. Also listed as “backed by the best” on the company site.
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount estimated at 101–250 (Crunchbase); founded in 2018 and now considered a unicorn; recognized as the “world leader in Agentic Security”; Salt Labs is the first and only API-dedicated global research organization.

## Competitive Advantages
