Appknox provides a mobile-native security platform that continuously scans and evaluates app binaries in hosted device labs and after the apps are uploaded to stores, in order to detect and remediate vulnerabilities and brand abuse instances such as copycat apps.
There are several mature tools for mobile in-app security, network security and on-device security, but there is often a gap in protection when apps and updates are ready to exit the development lifecycle and get published to major and regional app stores. Conventional software scanning tools have little awareness of mobile-native technology … [Read more] | |

Auguria is looking for a third way to improve security searches and observability platforms, using specialized algorithms to infuse incoming logs and other event data with semantic meaning. Thus, humans and AI agents would be more likely to detect the most meaningful alerts from monitoring and searching data streams, while decreasing AI workload compute consumption and data storage costs.
The big idea here is for GenAI-based detection and human analysts to work together in the pre-alert timeline ... [Read more] | |

We’ve written about Camunda several times in the past, the most recently in November 2024 when the company added RPA and IDP to its process orchestration and automation platform.
Today, however, the focus is on agentic AI. Most vendors who implement process orchestration of AI agents call upon those agents to automate individual tasks that the platform can then orchestrate into workflows. Camunda also supports this straightforward deterministic approach to agentic workflow orchestration ... [Read more] | |

Cayosoft provides an identity governance and security automation platform for Microsoft-based enterprise environments, managing the complexity of monitoring, provisioning, protecting and recovering directory objects such as users, groups, access policies, applications, and devices across multiple editions of Microsoft Active Directory, Entra ID, Office 365 and more.
Any Windows-based IT shop that provisions employees and application resources likely now finds itself in the midst of an identity crisis in this modern hybrid cloud age … [Read More] | |

Confidencial scans documents in both on-premises and cloud-based volumes and data stores, identifies sensitive information within them as per policy, and encrypts the sensitive data within the documents for the eyes of designated recipients.
Confidencial automatically recognizes PII and can also recognize sensitive data as per common regulatory frameworks like PCI and HIPAA. Customers can also configure their own policies regarding sensitive data ... [Read more] | |

Intezer offers an autonomous SecOps solution that overlays platforms such as SIEM, EDR, and IAM, as well as gathering real-time and historical threat intelligence from a tangle of data warehouses, email, file systems, collaboration tools and binaries in repositories, in order to triage incoming alerts and direct only the most critical threats to human SOC teams for resolution.
The primary constraint faced by the cybersecurity community as a whole is a shortage of available SMEs to investigate critical issues ... [Read more] | |

MediaViz AI recognizes both subjective and objective properties of large image collections and streams, processing, tagging, and classifying them for API-based application workloads and exports.
What’s interesting for us is their new AI meta tagging and composable integration capabilities for business applications that depend on images ... [Read more] | |

We last covered mogenius when I spoke with them at KubeCon in April 2023.
Since that time, the company has matured its Kubernetes management platform, which offers self-service workspaces that simplify Kubernetes setup as well as day two operations, relieving DevOps teams while improving the developer experience.
mogenius takes a team-focused approach, empowering DevOps and development teams with different levels of expertise to manage toolchains and infrastructure ... [Read more] | |

When we last covered SnapLogic, the discussion was all about their easy to use integration platform.
When we spoke with SnapLogic last week, the discussion was all about their new capability for building and deploying AI agents on their integration platform.
SnapLogic’s new AgentCreator visually creates and deploys AI agents with multiple LLM support, including agent evaluation, observability, and data security ... [Read more] | |

SquareX approaches the browser as the primary attack surface for enterprises, by triaging and remediating security issues through a browser-native extension paired with a managed threat and response platform.
Clearly, the browser has become more than just a way to render web pages. The massive rise of SaaS and mobile apps replaced conventional application clients, while newer application delivery approaches such as WebAssembly continue to push more functionality to the browser edge ... [Read more] | |

Tavus provides a conversational AI modeling platform for building avatars or ‘clones’ that mimic human behavior over video or voice calls in an interview or customer service role, responding to both verbal and non-verbal cues with context and sub-second response times.
Instead of producing high-IQ chatbots, they allow customers to bring their own LLMs, and focus much of their research on delivering high-EQ (emotional quotient) conversational partners that can both read and mimic cues like facial expressions and vocal intonation as well as the empathic valence of words. Avatars can be pulled from a library, or visually replicated from a human user in a low-code fashion ... [Read more] | |

Tumeryk offers an end-to-end AI governance platform for generative AI (genAI) applications broadly and agentic AI in particular. This platform leverages Tumeryk’s AI Trust Scoring, which can provide objective measures of risk for LLMs as well as individual genAI interactions (prompts).
Using Tumeryk’s proprietary algorithm, the AI Trust Score accounts for both model and real-time prompt response risks including bias, jailbreak propensity, off-topic responses, toxicity, PII data leakage, and hallucinations ... [Read more] | |

Xensam provides software asset management (SAM) for hybrid IT environments that uses machine learning to recognize and identify running applications on desktops, servers, and SaaS.
On desktops, the Xensam agent identifies executable files, and the Xensam platform then filters and normalizes these data. Xensam also leverages browser agents to find data about SaaS and server-based apps ... [Read more] | |
