SandboxAQ has announced the general availability of its new platform AQtive Guard, after one billion AI agents spawn a vast new cyber-attack surface.
AQtive Guard
The company states AQtive Guard is a platform designed to manage and secure Non-Human Identities (NHIs) and other cryptographic assets used by AI agents – both friendly and malevolent – that are surging across enterprise environments.
AQtive Guard’s Discover module enables organisations to maintain an accurate inventory and control over both NHIs and cryptographic assets such as keys, certificates, algorithms, libraries and is crucial for compliance and meeting regulatory mandates.
AQtive Guard’s Protect orchestrates automated remediation workflows and enforces protection policies such as credential rotation or certificate renewal.
The company highlights that by leveraging its Large Quantitative Models (LQMs), AQtive Guard’s Discover and Protect modules provide organisations with unprecedented visibility, control and remediation, addressing the escalating challenges of machine-to-machine communication security, compliance pressures and the transition to the new NIST security standards.
The platform also offers:
- Vulnerability Detection and inventory
- AI-powered insights, prioritisation and risk analysis
- Automated remediation and lifecycle management
- Compliance and NIST standards
SandboxAQ
As part of the launch, SandboxAQ also announced two key capabilities:
- Integration with the CrowdStrike Falcon cybersecurity platform
- Interoperability with Palo Alto Networks
“A vastly increased range of capabilities”
Jack Hidary, CEO, SandboxAQ expressed: “There will be more than one billion AI agents with significant autonomous power in the next few years.
“Enterprises are giving AI agents a vastly increased range of capabilities to impact customers and real-world assets.”
Hidary continued: “This creates a dangerous attack surface for adversaries. AQtive Guard’s Discover and Protect modules address this urgent issue.”
“An essential cybersecurity practice”
Marc Manzano, General Manager Cybersecurity, SandboxAQ commented: “As organisations accelerate AI adoption and the use of agents and machine-to-machine communication across all business domains and functions, maintaining a real-time, accurate inventory of NHIs and cryptographic assets is an essential cybersecurity practice.
“Being able to automatically remediate vulnerabilities and policy violations identified is crucial to decrease time to mitigation and prevent potential breaches within the first day of use of our software,” Manzano concluded.
