Vanta, a unicorn security startup, has tripled its revenue in two years to $300 million ARR as companies struggle to control unsanctioned AI tools. The company now serves 16,000 customers, underscoring the growing need for robust security solutions in corporate America.

The rapid adoption of AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor has created a challenge for corporate security teams, which often have no idea what tools their employees are using. This 'shadow AI' phenomenon is driving demand for Vanta's security solutions, which help companies monitor and manage unsanctioned AI tools. With its soaring ARR, Vanta is poised to capitalize on this trend, providing a vital service to companies navigating the complexities of AI integration.
