Movate and Anzenna Forge Strategic Partnership to Redefine Insider Risk Governance in the AI Era
PRNewswire Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], July 21: Movate, a global leader in digital technology and IT services, today announced a strategic partnership with Anzenna, a next-generation AI-powered insider risk platform. This alliance marks a significant step forward in addressing what is now emerging as the biggest cybersecurity threat of the AI era, insider risk, where human behavior, compromised credentials, and internal misuse represent the weakest link in enterprise defense. As cyberattacks grow more advanced, insider-driven breaches now make up over 68% of cybersecurity incidents. Addressing this rising threat requires a new governance model. Current tools remain siloed, reactive, and dependent on agent-based setups that slow performance and erode user trust. Anzenna changes this by using data from existing systems along with Generative AI and LLMs to detect and prioritize insider threats with context-aware precision. It enables autonomous or semi-autonomous responses, all without the need for endpoint agents. With this partnership, Movate becomes a certified Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) for Anzenna, delivering 24/7 detection, response, and insider risk governance as a fully managed service. Enterprises benefit from reduced operational complexity, faster time to value, and a seamless transition from reactive controls to proactive, AI-enabled governance frameworks. "This partnership is a strategic accelerator for our AI-first cybersecurity vision," said Sunil Mittal, CEO, Movate. "Insider risk has emerged as one of the most business-critical security challenges of the AI era. By integrating Anzenna's lightweight, agentless platform into our global SOC services, we empower enterprises to neutralize these threats while strengthening governance, agility, and resilience at scale." The timing is crucial. The industry is facing a shortage of cybersecurity talent, with enterprises struggling to scale risk programs fast enough. Movate brings a unique advantage, with a strong, dedicated cybersecurity practice, supported by thousands of certified professionals across 20+ global delivery centers. "We're witnessing an inflection point in cybersecurity where enterprises need simplicity, scale, and intelligence, not more tools," said Ganesh Krishnan, CEO, Anzenna. "Through this partnership, our platform becomes a turnkey service, backed by Movate's cybersecurity depth and operational rigor. Together, we're enabling organizations to operationalize trust and take meaningful action in real time, not just gather alerts." In a recent deployment at a large educational institution, Anzenna's platform accelerated threat resolution by 40%, eliminated 228 risky applications via automated remediation, and secured a 20% increase in cybersecurity budget justification without expanding headcount. The combination of Anzenna's AI-native capabilities and Movate's service delivery muscle offers a rare blueprint for reducing risk without increasing friction - exactly what today's boardrooms and CISOs are demanding. Together, Movate and Anzenna are delivering a first-of-its-kind Insider Risk Remediation as a Service model tailored to how modern enterprises consume security: integrated, contextual, and outcome-driven. About Movate: Movate is a digital technology and consulting services company committed to disrupting the industry with boundless agility, human-centered innovation, and relentless focus on driving client outcomes. It helps ambitious, growth-oriented companies across industries stay ahead of the curve by leveraging its diverse talent of over 12,000 full-time Movators across 20 global locations and a gig network of thousands of technology experts across 60 countries, speaking over 100 languages.

AI Startups That Focus Small Are Winning Big
Forget big teams and bigger models. The AI startups growing fastest seem to be solving one clear ... More problem — and doing it really well. The AI boom has largely been defined by size — large models, huge funding rounds, and teams numbering in the hundreds. But a new trend is emerging — one where lean, focused AI startups are thriving by mastering specific use cases. Take AiHello for instance. Founded by Saif Elhager and Ganesh Krishnan, the 40-person startup has built a profitable AI platform focused solely on Amazon advertising. With no outside funding, they've grown to seven-figure annual revenues and continue to double each year. Their approach: build for a well-defined problem and automate everything possible. 'We just built a business around the problems we were most familiar with and sold it to people we knew would need it,' said Elhager in an interview. 'Instead of trying to look for something that sounded impressive.' This strategy stands in contrast to the scale-first model dominating much of the AI industry today. Rather than building large, generalized tools and searching for product-market fit, Elhager told me that AiHello focused from day one on a single platform, a single use case and a set of customers they understood deeply. And that, according to him, has made all the difference for their company. According to McKinsey's 2024 State of AI report, 65% of businesses now use generative AI in at least one function — double the rate from 2023. Despite such a commendable figure, the most consistent revenue gains are showing up not in flashy creative tools, but in targeted applications like inventory management, operations and marketing optimization — domains where specialized AI solutions thrive. This shift from broad AI ambition to narrow execution that's hyper-focused on a specific domain mirrors what AiHello is doing in ecommerce. The company's laser focus on Amazon's ad ecosystem allows it to improve its models continuously and respond directly to customer needs. Saif Elhager- Cofounder, AiHello 'When you have a more focused number of use cases, you can also spend a lot more time making sure the AI performs well,' Elhager explained. This level of precision isn't possible in generalized platforms trying to cover dozens of workflows at once. And more industry leaders are now echoing the sentiment that the path to lasting impact isn't scale but specificity. As Sarah Guo noted in a previous edition of the No Priors podcast, which covered AI investment hype, foundation models, regulation and more, 'there is real opportunity for vertical specific models where you can imagine that control for either compliance or safety, or just performance makes sense.' While many AI startups spend aggressively on sales, compute and hiring, AiHello went in the opposite direction. The team relies heavily on internal automation, offshores most of its talent and keeps its operating costs low. 'Our payroll is 80% lower than usual,' noted Elhager. 'We spend very little on sales or marketing, and that's kept us profitable from day one.' Capital efficiency has become a growing concern in AI, especially as funding conditions tighten. Industry veteran Andrew Ng has also noted this trend, arguing that AI's real value lies in embedding it into specific workflows — not just building general-purpose tools. 'AI won't replace human workers,' Ng said in a March 2024 talk, 'but people that use it will replace people that don't.' That distinction favors platforms like AiHello, where AI works quietly in the background — cutting costs, saving time and letting the business run smarter. Rather than trying to compete with Amazon or build a new ecommerce stack from scratch, AiHello built its tools directly within the existing system. 'Building on an existing platform and going to market with an obvious ICP is much quicker and less capital-intensive,' said Elhager. 'If your goal is to build a 7–8 figure business, then this is one of the higher probability ways of doing that.' It's a reminder that not every breakthrough requires reinvention. Sometimes, the smartest move is to enhance what already works. AiHello isn't the only one taking this path. Other startups like Rebuy — which helps Shopify merchants personalize shopping experiences using AI — Typeface which generates on-brand content for marketing teams — and Adept — which builds AI agents that can take actions across enterprise software tools — are succeeding by solving specific problems inside defined ecosystems. 'Having limited headcount means we have to focus on only 1–2 things that matter,' said Elhager. 'That's paradoxically a faster way to make progress.' In a market already flooded with general-purpose AI pitches and bloated burn rates, the future may belong to companies that stay small, move fast and go deep rather than wide.
