Palisade on the record
What they shipped
- Its own site describes it as: "Palisade watches your fleet at the kernel — syscalls, eBPF traces, process and memory events, network packets — finds the OS vulnerabilities other tools miss, and applies the fix across every endpoint in minutes." (source)
- From the Launch YC post "Palisade - AI that detects and fixes OS vulnerabilities across every endpoint in minutes": For companies running large fleets of OS-level endpoints (running GPU clusters, having a network of cloud devices, or deploying on-device), Palisade detects and fixes operating-system vulnerabilities (privilege escalation, remote code execution, memory corruption) that are extremely hard to detect and mitigate without applying AI to kernel-level data (syscalls, eBPF traces, process/memory events, network packets). (source)
Who is behind it
- Fnu Prince, Founder: Left Caltech at 18 to start Palisade (YC S26). Previously did red-teaming at 16, USACO Platinum/USAPhO HM/AIME, built my own OS for fun (pre-Claude/Codex) (source)
