Security shouldn’t stop at the password—it should extend to the person behind the screen. Tenbeo is the world’s first Bio-Authenticated AI Firewall, designed to close the critical gap between digital identity and physical human presence. We provide the "Last Mile" of security for the AI-enabled workforce. Why Tenbeo? In an era of deepfakes, stolen sessions, and remote work, trusting a "User ID" isnt enough. You need to trust the source. Tenbeo integrates Heartbeat Biometrics directly into the endpoint security stack to deliver: 🫀 Continuous Human Verification: We bind access rights to the employee’s unique physiological signature, preventing unauthorized use of AI tools even if a device is unlocked or credentials are stolen. 🛡️ Endpoint Intelligence: Unlike network proxies (WAFs) that only see traffic, Tenbeo monitors the Screen and Clipboard. We detect and block sensitive PII before it is pasted into LLMs like ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot. ⚖️ Human Governance: We empower managers to approve or block AI usage in real-time with biometric signatures. Our Mission: To enable Trusted AI with Built-In Human Governance. We empower enterprises to adopt Generative AI aggressively by ensuring that every prompt, every query, and every action is cryptographically signed by a verified human heart. Integrations: Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel.

HI, WE’RE MING LABS. Were a design and tech company that speaks all the jargon. But luckily, we speak human too. We design, we write code, and we love the business side of it all. We are hired to work on new problems together, instead of telling people what they want to hear. Our work revolves around three things: experience design, business design, and development. The core idea that runs throughout our years of practice is human centricity: First and foremost, we think about people who will end up using what we’re creating. For us, every company is different, and every brand has its own roots and heritage that have to be understood, interpreted and treated carefully. We are hired by transformation leaders to work on new problems together, not to tell people what they want to hear or provide templated solutions. Our work is driven by discovery and human centricity, leading to novel ideas.
