Coralogix acquires AI surveillance platform Aporia

Coralogixthe well funded observation platform, Monday announced it said it acquired Aporia, a startup focused on giving companies tools to observe and protect their AI workloads, as well as building guardrails for them to avoid hallucinations or unexpected disclosures. As part of this acquisition, Coralogix will launch Coralogix AI, a dedicated AI research center led by Aporia co-founders CEO Liran Hason and CTO Alon Gubkin. Aporia technology will be integrated into the Coralogix service.

“This purchase is an important step for us. By leveraging Aporia’s technology and expertise, the hundreds of AI teams already using Coralogix today will be able to enjoy high-quality visibility, protection and control over their AI systems,” said Ariel Assaraf, CEO of Coralogix.

The general idea here is to use Aporia as part of a new unified monitoring platform for both AI and more traditional workloads that provides users with information about data pipelines, infrastructure, applications and AI systems. Although Coralogix was founded in 2014 and offers a wide range of monitoring, analytics and security services, as well as AI tools on its platform, the company did not have specific tools for monitoring AI systems. Acquiring Aporia closes this hole.

Aporia was founded in 2019, long before the hype around big language models, but already with a focus on machine learning. Since its inception, the company has raised a total of $30 million in funding, with the latest round being a $25 million Series A in 2022. Investors include Tiger Global, TLV Partners, Samsung Next and Vertex Ventures.

The two companies did not disclose the price of the acquisition, but the announcement is in line with a broader trend we’re seeing these days as market and enterprise budgets favor full-stack platforms as larger platforms acquire point solutions.

“This expansion reinforces Coralogix’s commitment to embracing our AI strategy and delivering the best technology to our customers. Our new research center will advance artificial innovation and collaboration by providing our customers with the tools and environment they need to drive the future of AI systems,” said Coralogix CTO Yoni Farin.
