Gopi Sirineni is a Silicon Valley veteran with four startups and over 25 years of experience in the semiconductor, software and systems industries. As a senior executive, he has demonstrated exceptional skills in building highly efficient, cost-effective organizations, managing them in rapidly changing environments, and bringing industry-changing technologies to market.
Tell us about your company?
Axiado is a semiconductor company redefining the way modern platforms are secured and managed. We develop hardware-anchored security and control solutions that are designed specifically for the demands of today’s AI-driven infrastructure. Our mission is to stop cyberattacks at their earliest point: before they impact systems. By delivering platform security that begins at the silicon level, threats are identified instantly with our technology, platform reliability is strengthened, and organizations gain a scalable, future-proof foundation for secure compute.
What problems are you solving?
For years, the industry has depended almost entirely on software-only security at the port of entry. These tools work hard to filter threats, but once malware slips through, there is nothing left to stop an attack in progress. This gap leaves high-value infrastructure dangerously exposed. Axiado closes that gap with a hardware-based security architecture. Our Trusted Control/Compute Unit (TCU) Sits alongside the system hardware as a persistent, intelligent last line of defense. It collaborates with existing software solutions while independently detecting threats they may overlook. Inside the TCU, autonomous AI agents continuously analyze behavior against known attack patterns, enabling real-time detection before damage occurs. No other company currently offers AI-driven cybersecurity integrated directly into hardware in this way.
What application areas are your strongest?
Our strength lies in combining platform management, platform security, and hardware-resident AI. Some core focus areas include platform security and management control, data-center-grade infrastructure, especially AI infrastructure, and hardware-anchored AI agents that continuously monitor system behavior. In addition, we are in the process of strengthening our Dynamic Thermal Management (DTM) and Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS), which is driven by customized AI models. Because our AI agents operate beside the hardware, they can continuously learn normal behavior patterns, identify anomalies instantly, and act autonomously. Beyond security, these same agents improve system efficiency by reducing power consumption and optimizing thermal and performance characteristics in real time.
What keeps your customers up at night?
CISOs and infrastructure leaders worry most about zero-day threats, which are attacks that slip past software defenses and act invisibly until it is too late. Today’s data centers rely heavily on software-based port-of-entry tools that are unable to see what happens once malware bypasses them. Our customers want a trusted, proactive way to predict, detect, and stop these attacks before they unfold. Axiado’s hardware-level AI learning provides exactly that: we monitor systems continuously, learn their patterns, flag deviations instantly, and identify active attacks in real time. Today, we are the only solution in the market capable of detecting attacks as they are happening at the hardware layer.
What does the competitive landscape look like and how do you differentiate?
Axiado does not have any direct competitors building a unified hardware security and platform management architecture. Legacy solutions are currently fragmented, with one piece for management, another partial add-on for boot-time security, and none built with holistic AI-driven protection in mind. Axiado’s solution is different because it is architected from the ground up with security baked in, not bolted on. We have reimagined platform control, efficiency, and end-to-end protection to work together as a single silicon-anchored system. This integration, coupled with hardware-resident AI agents, sets us apart from any legacy or discrete offerings on the market.
What new features/technology are you working on?
We are expanding our autonomous AI agent framework, enabling even more intelligent detection, efficiency tuning, and infrastructure automations. Some of these new capabilities include various advanced AI agents, enhanced Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS, next-generation Dynamic Thermal Management (DTM), and continued growth of our hardware-anchored AI compute environment. These innovations strengthen both the security posture and operational efficiency of modern compute infrastructure.
How do customers normally engage with your company?
Customers typically reach us through our website, direct outreach from our sales team, and in-person discussions at industry events. We actively participate in major conferences and trade shows, such as SC25, AI Infra Summit, and OCP Global, where we have seen strong engagement from enterprises, hyperscalers and ecosystem partners. From there, we work closely with customers to integrate our hardware, software stack, and APIs into their existing platforms.
